Chapter 1269: Dispute in the Small Village

Chapter 1269: Dispute in the Small Village As soon as the middle-aged man came out, everyone immediately made way for him, and everyone looked at him with awe. The originally noisy and joyous village became extremely quiet.

This majestic and burly middle-aged man is Shen Xiang's father, Shen Tianhu!

"Is this your father? He looks a lot like you!" Long Xueyi said.

"That's right, it's him!" Shen Xiang said excitedly: "Dad is still alive!"

He was just about to go and meet Shen Tianhu first, but he saw a group of people walking out of the huge stone mountains surrounding the village. There were some caves in these stone mountains, and there were actually some people living in them.

"Old village chief, you sent your villagers to die again. They are lucky to come back alive this time. I wonder what they hunted?"

The tall and thin man who was speaking looked very young, but the middle-aged and elderly people behind him seemed to have to listen to him.

"What does this have to do with you? You guys just stay in the cave all day long. Don't even think about snatching our prey!" a young man yelled at the group of people.

"Huh? Why is it none of our business? You go hunting those giant beasts, and if you anger their families and they chase you, we will be in trouble too! We are taking a big risk, so you must give us half." The words of the tall and thin middle-aged man made the thousands of villagers suddenly angry.

Shen Xiang understood that humans must be very short of various resources in this kind of environment. Even if there are resources outside, they do not have the strength to mine them. Because there are too many giant beasts and too few people, even eating is a problem now, so they send people out to hunt giant beasts.

"You...you guys get out of here right now. As long as I, Shen Luzong, am alive, I will never let you bully us!" An angry voice suddenly echoed in the valley.

At this time, Shen Tianhu was also full of murderous aura, with a pair of red eyes, as if he could kill the tall and thin middle-aged man at any time.

But the tall and thin man was not afraid at all. He just laughed, and the two hundred people behind him also laughed.

"Come on, do you dare to fight us to the death? You may be able to destroy us, but I'm afraid most of you more than a thousand people will die!" The tall and thin middle-aged man sneered.

Shen Xiang has already seen that the strength of this tall and thin middle-aged man is not very strong, but it will not be easy for Shen Tianhu to deal with him. Although he can kill him, it may take some time. Moreover, the people behind this tall and thin middle-aged man are all strong as a whole. If a conflict occurs, many people in the village who have no force will be killed.

"My great-uncle is still alive, but his life span is almost over!" Shen Xiang found that the situation here was not as optimistic as others had told him, and it was very bad.

Shen Luzong was helped over by two young men. He looked like he was about to die, but he had terrifying strength that frightened Shen Xiang.

"The Immortal King's strength! How come it's so fast?" Long Xueyi was also extremely surprised. Shen Xiang had told her about his father and great uncle.

"Old village chief, you look well!" The tall and thin middle-aged man laughed wickedly, because Shen Luzong's condition was getting worse and worse.

Shen Xiang, who had turned into a butterfly, had already flown down and turned back into his original form. At this time, everyone was looking at Shen Luzong and did not notice that a stranger appeared here.

"How about you compete with me again and refine another batch of pills? As long as you win, we will let you go this time." The tall and thin man said with a smile. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Li Mu, you ungrateful guy, who taught you how to make elixirs? Who saved your life?" Shen Luzong said angrily.

"Who told you not to pass the position of village chief to me? Just look at the power behind me and you will know that I am qualified to be the village chief." Li Mu took out a knife and played with it in his hand.

Shen Tianhu clenched his fists with bulging veins and walked up to him. "These guys behind you are all bastards who have committed serious crimes and are imprisoned in cages. If you let them out, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later."

Li Mu glared at him and sneered, "I'll count to three. Either you compete with me in alchemy or you hand over half of the prey you just got. Otherwise, even if we risk our lives, we will fight you today."

Who knew that Li Mu had such evil intentions? If Shen Luzong competed with him in alchemy again, he might die immediately.

Shen Tianhu was angry, and so were the other young men in the village. They were all ready to fight. Just as Shen Tianhu raised his fist, Shen Luzong sighed and said, "Forget it, let's fight!"

As long as we can buy some time for the village and make the young people in the village stronger, we won't have to be threatened by this group of people in the future.

"How about I compete with him?" Shen Xiang suddenly walked up. His unfamiliar voice surprised many people, but Shen Luzong and Shen Tianhu trembled all over and turned away in disbelief.

Chen Xiang had a smile on his face. He was the same as before, but he had become much more mature and stable. Although no one could sense any breath of true energy from him, the momentum he had when he spoke just now made people dare not underestimate him.

"Oh? I didn't expect that the old guy could train an apprentice so quickly? But what do you have to compare with me? Every time the old guy competes with me, he will shorten his life by more than ten years." Li Mu said with disdain on his face, but he was curious that there were faces in this village that he had never seen before.

Shen Tianhu and Shen Luzong were very excited at first, but they soon calmed down. They knew what Shen Xiang was going to do, so they couldn't expose Shen Xiang's identity now, otherwise Li Mu would not compete with Shen Xiang.

Shen Luzong was very familiar with Shen Xiang's alchemy skills, and Shen Tianhu also had great confidence in his son. The Shen family's alchemy business was originally started by Shen Xiang. As for why Shen Xiang appeared here, although they were curious, this was not what they should ask now.

"I lost, how about I cut off one of my arms?" Shen Xiang walked up and said lightly.

Li Mu laughed a few times: "Oh, you are a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. You are so bold. But the old man didn't stop you. You must have some strength! Well, if you lose, I can see how others chop off their own arms."

"How do we compete?" Shen Xiang asked.

"Whoever refines the Zhenyuan Pill the best will win! This best refers to the speed of refining the pill, the quality of the pill, and how many pills can be produced." Li Mu said, this is also a very common way of competing.

A man in the village shouted, "Zhen Yuan Dan? Where did we get the ingredients for this kind of elixir? You cheated and stole all these ingredients, you despicable guy!"

"If not, then you lose!" someone laughed loudly from inside.

Without saying anything, Shen Xiang took out a lot of Xuanzhen Grass, Wanling Fruit, Dayuan Nuts, and a small bottle of Lingjing Milk.

In Long Xueyi's eyes, these things were low-grade goods, so they were not harmed.
