Seeing Steward Zhang, who had taken a punch from him, lying half-dead in the distance, unable to get up for a long time, Ji Die was also stunned, not expecting his strength to be so great.
“Idiot!” Yang Yuanwai's face darkened, and just as he was about to order the others to seize Ji Die, a voice suddenly came from above his head,
“Qi Training Stage - First Level!”
It was a clear, cold female voice. When the villagers below heard it, they collectively looked up and then saw a man and a woman descending from the sky.
The speaking woman's green robes were still fluttering, and her tall figure was half a head taller than Ji Die.
Beneath her translucent gauze skirt, her long, straight legs were pressed together, inviting endless imagination.
The man wore a green long gown, his long hair casually draped behind him, and a small flaxen pouch hung at his waist. His brows and eyes were gentle and refined.
When the two stood together, anyone would exclaim, “Golden Boy and Jade Girl!”
“Immortals!” When the villagers saw the two flying, they were all so frightened that they knelt down. The big men who were preparing to act also stopped.
“Two sirs, the person has been investigated clearly. It should be that kid. Only he left the village seven days ago.” Even the previously arrogant Yang Yuanwai had a fawning expression on his face, not feeling ashamed in the slightest.
Few people knew that he had joined a Cultivation Sect in his early years.
That School was called the Seven Mysteries Sect!
This name, and the Seven Mysteries Sect that Zhang Feng had previously reported, were indeed the same School!
However, due to his talent, he never found his way in Cultivate, so he could only wander around the outer periphery of the Sect his entire life, managing some industries for the Sect in the secular world.
And these two in front of him were core members of the Sect!
With a flick of their fingers, they could decide his life or death!
“Junior Sister Song, how is it?” The man and woman, called immortals, were long accustomed to such scenes, their gazes calmly surveying Ji Die in front of them.
It was the young man who spoke, named Zhou Xu. He turned his head to look at the woman beside him and asked softly.
These two are so strong!
As Ji Die was watched by the two, he felt a shock in his heart, a feeling of facing that Black-Clothed Old Man again.
Immediately, his heart sank to the bottom!
He didn't know who these suddenly appearing man and woman were, but he could tell they seemed to be with Yang Yuanwai!
“Hmm, it's him alright. The Soul-chasing Bee detected Zhang Feng's Qi on him. It seems Zhang Feng's Storage Pouch is on him.” The woman called Junior Sister Song, whose real name was Song Jia, had extremely beautiful features and fair skin, but her eyes held a hint of coldness.
A white insect rested on her fingertip, fluttering its wings, somewhat resembling a bee.
This insect was called a Soul-chasing Bee, an extremely rare Yao Beast. It had no combat ability, but its sense of smell was extremely keen.
The two relied on it to find Zhang Feng's corpse, which led to Yang Yuanwai gathering all the villagers.
“I did see Zhang Feng's corpse, but I didn't kill him. I can return the Storage Pouch to you.” Ji Die's judgment of the situation was extremely accurate. Hearing the woman's words, he immediately understood that the insect had some kind of tracking effect.
He guessed that the Storage Pouch they mentioned was probably the small pouch he had picked up from the Black-Clothed Old Man earlier.
Without reluctance, he immediately took it out from his embrace and handed it to them.
The important things inside were Cultivation Technique and Spirit Stone. All the Spirit Stones had been used by him. He didn't know the use of the medicinal materials, so he didn't feel too much heartache.
“How sensible.” Zhou Xu looked at him in surprise, but did not take his pouch, saying:
“Don't worry, we are not here to seek revenge for Zhang Feng, because the person who injured him was originally us.
This guy stole a Spirit Medicine from our School. We are here only for that Spirit Medicine. Check your Storage Pouch to see if there is a green vine-like plant. The other things will be your reward.”
“Okay.” Ji Die's mind stirred. After searching through the space, he found a green vine among the medicinal materials and took it out to hand to them.
“Thank you for your cooperation.” Zhou Xu waved his hand, and the vine was drawn into his hand by a mysterious force.
He repeatedly checked it twice, confirmed it was correct, and put it into his Storage Pouch.
“Let's go, Junior Sister Song.”
“Wait, Senior Brother Zhou, this person should be Zhang Feng's Disciple. We'd better not leave a hidden danger.” Song Jia glanced at Ji Die, a glint of killing intent flashing in her eyes.
These words sent a chill down Ji Die's spine. He deeply understood what it meant for a woman's heart to be the most venomous and couldn't help but curse, “You woman, I didn't expect such a beautiful facade to hide a viper's heart!”
Anyway, this woman was going to kill him, so he might as well get his fill of verbal abuse!
“Courting death!” Song Jia's pretty face turned cold, and she raised her hand, intending to kill him on the spot.
“Junior Sister Song, wait.” Zhou Xu shook his head and stopped her: “This person probably just happened to find Zhang Feng's corpse after he died. Otherwise, with his character, why would he let go of the chance to live? He would have probably killed this person, absorbed his life force, and then slaughtered this village to recover from his injuries.”
Although Ji Die didn't understand what 'absorb his life force' meant when spoken by the other party, he could grasp the general meaning of the sentence, and a sense of lingering fear arose in his heart.
No wonder that old fellow had kept telling him to come forward that day.
So, he wanted to devour him to restore his life!
The feeling of having walked through the gates of hell without realizing it made his face turn pale instantly.
“But this person has Cultivated our School's Cultivation Technique. How can our School's Cultivation Technique be passed on to outsiders?” Song Jia frowned, still unwilling to give up.
Earlier, Ji Die had insulted her, and she had already harbored killing intent.
Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, Ji Die became nervous again and looked at the young man.
“That's true. Although Zhang Feng is a traitor, he ultimately Cultivated the Seven Mysteries Sect's Cultivation Technique. Since this child has Cultivated his Cultivation Technique, let's bring him back to the School.” Zhou Xu glanced at Ji Die, pondered for a moment, and made his decision.
“Given his age, even if he embarks on the path of Cultivate, it's already too late. It will be difficult for him to achieve much. However, since Senior Brother says so, then bring him back.” Song Jia shook her head, glanced indifferently at Ji Die, and said nothing more.
Anyway, once they returned to the Seven Mysteries Sect, she had plenty of ways to torment this kid to death!
“Let's go.” Zhou Xu didn't waste words, nor did he pay attention to anyone else. He grabbed Ji Die by the collar and flew into the air.
Neither of their conversations had asked for Ji Die's opinion.
In their eyes, Ji Die was merely someone who had stumbled upon good fortune and embarked on the path of Cultivate; his fate could be decided at will.
The fierce wind howled in his face at high altitude. This was Ji Die's first time experiencing the sensation of flying.
He kept his eyes open, watching himself fly in the sky, and the Wenhe Village below slowly became a small dot. Amidst his wonder, there was also a sense of trance.
He never expected to leave Wenhe Village with such an outcome!
He still hadn't gotten back the land his parents left him…
“If you don't want to be blind in the future, it's best to close your eyes.” After a while, Ji Die's eyes were red and stinging from the wind. Hearing this, he immediately closed his eyes.
