In a gorgeous yet dark room, a blurry figure exuded a black demonic aura and a middle-aged man with a cold and evil appearance seemed to be secretly talking to each other.
"Congratulations, hall master. Your excellency, you've made a breakthrough again." The middle-aged man's cold eyes revealed a trace of excitement.
"Ku Luo Han Di, how is the progress of this demon's task for you?" A blurry emotionless voice sounded.
"Yes sir. After your seclusion, I will lead the group and complete the mission four years ago. No one in the village escaped," the middle-aged man said respectfully.
"Ku Luo Han's land, you're so sure they're all dead?"
"Yes, milord. We've searched everywhere in the village, and the nose of the Sword Poisonous Beast has confirmed that there are no living people in the village. We've also searched outside the village, but we haven't found any living people."
"Hm!" "You did well. It's done, you can go now."
"Yes, Your Highness!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man bowed and backed off. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed. He secretly sighed in his heart: "Why?" It was not his style to attack a remote village on the edge of the mainland. How strange! Could it be that there was someone in the village that could threaten the adults? If it's even better like this, and left three children, maybe we can overthrow him, hehe! Shaking his head, he smiled helplessly before walking out of the hall.
Three hundred Li northeast of the Village of Sword Saint.
The three youths departed from the Sword Saint Village. Two days later!
"Hey, I can't walk anymore!" Alice fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
"It's only the second day. In the endless wilderness, with our current speed, we should be able to arrive in nine months. But we haven't even arrived, and we're already dead tired."
"You two!" "Alright, let's rest for a while. Don't complain, our road is still long." Jian Zhi shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that they always ate sword lizard meat (Level 1 Sword Beast) whenever they left this wasteland.
"If only you would just listen to me and bring some dry rations …" He complained, "Lickol, stop complaining, just walk out of the wasteland, there are all kinds of wild vegetables and game …" Little Silk looked at the glaring sun and then carefully looked ahead, wiping off his sweat to focus on it. He said in surprise, "Foolish brothers, look ahead … there seems to be someone."
Li Wei and Jian Zhi looked at each other and bitterly smiled. Their eyes revealed their thoughts. Are we that stupid? They immediately looked in front of them. "Where?" Where? "Where is he?"
"Right in front, hey! "The person in front, stop for a moment!" Little Silk pointed towards the front and shouted happily.
Soon after, the three ran over, and only after they were ten meters away could they clearly see that it was a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old. His golden hair was slightly messy, and his appearance was that of a noble's child.
When the youth saw who it was, he immediately lost his vigilance and inwardly exclaimed that he was being too careful. Three little kids, I'm only fifteen years old, and I'll need to worry about three little friends after I become an intermediate level swordsman. He immediately sized up the three youngsters who were dressed modestly, but in clean and fresh clothes. One of them was a middle-sized boy with a childish face and a strong determination, who carried a heavy sword on his back; the other was a girl, who had a pretty and cute face and beautiful big eyes and was staring at him all the time. She was not tall, and her stature did not seem short at all; her face reddened slightly as she looked to the side.
Thinking of the fact that the trio of Jian Zhi's group had already arrived at the boy's side, they could see that the blond youth's face was slightly yellow. It was obvious that he was malnourished, and there were traces of blood on his clothes.
Looking at the young girl's innocent face, the young man squeezed out a smile that he thought was very charming, "Hello, my name is Pure Ai Wen, you can just call me Ai Wen. Although it's a girl's name, I like it very much though …" He hesitated for a moment, then sighed and smiled, "I want to go back to the Sharp Blade City. Because I went with the mercenaries to adventure in the Crystal Sword Mountain, I actually ran into a bandit who dominated the mountain.
"That's right. I also think it's fated for us to be together, that we could meet in such a large piece of wasteland. Hello, I'm Rick. He's Jian Zhi, I won't say anything about her. Hehe! You know what I'm doing," Li Wei said excitedly.
"Hello, big brother Ai Wen. I'm Jian Zhi. Just call me Xiao Zhi." Jian Zhi also said with a smile.
"Let's not just stand there. It's getting late. Let's find a place to rest. My feet are almost off." Alice said while swinging her legs.
"Alright," Xia Zhi said with a wry smile.
"It's time to rest," agreed Rick.
"Alright, let's find a flat area and start a fire. Luckily, there are some dried up wood here, otherwise, we really would have to go through thick and thin with blood! Haha!" As she finished laughing, everyone smiled.
The sky gradually fell down, like curtains that overlapped each other as they fell down. The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the world. Black replaced the colors of the world.
After chatting with each other, it turned out that Chunyi Iwen was the third son of the City Lord of Sharp Blade City. There was a mountain in the northwest of the Desolate Land, and recently, the City Lord of Sharp Blade City was very angry when he heard that the caravan was being robbed by a group of very powerful bandits. Because of this, the merchants didn't dare to leave the city for business, and the outsiders also didn't dare to come to the city for business.
"Sigh ~ ~ It's father's carelessness this time. He thinks that all the bandits are useless trash and the brothers of fifty advanced swordsmen. Elder Brother Jaslin doesn't know if he's dead or alive, it's all because of me," Chunyi Iwen sighed and said in a low voice with a dejected expression.
It was quiet for a moment. After ten seconds, Iven grinned and continued, "What about you guys? "Where did you guys come from, and why are you going to Sharp Blade City?"
Just as he was about to say something, Jian Zhi took the initiative and said, "Ah, we came from a small village to gain some experience. Don't underestimate us, we are both junior swordsmen! "Hahaha!"
"Ah ~!" How old are you guys? You're already a beginner swordsman when you're just over ten years old. You're lying! "Chunaiwen exclaimed," Hmph! "Is a ten-year old beginner swordsman really that powerful? I don't think so." Alice adorably snorted in disdain.
Isn't this amazing? This year, I was already 15 years old and had just entered the intermediate level, I thought that I was already a genius, but in our Sharp Blade City, there are only beginner level sword practitioners at the age of 20. You guys are still not powerful, and now three of you have appeared at the same time. Pure Ai Wen slapped her head as if she was about to collapse. She thought to herself, these three children will all be talented in the future, so she had to recommend them to her father when she gets back.
"Hehe, Brother Ewen, you're also very good at reaching middle age at 15 years old."
"Little silk!" "It's quiet for a moment. There seems to be movement nearby." Alice, who was laughing on the side, said. However, before she could finish her sentence, Xia Zhi's voice interrupted her words.
"Hm!" "I heard it too," agreed Rick after listening carefully.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
As soon as the voice came out, close to ten figures suddenly rushed out and surrounded Jian Zhi's group. A middle-aged man, who looked like the leader of the group, quickly walked over to Jian Zhi and the other three with his arms extended to his side, and stared at Chu Ewen. He laughed fiercely: "Third Young Master, how have you been? You've made us suffer, yo! I didn't expect there to be three other kids. The little girl was pretty smart, so she brought them back to be young lord's wife for a few years. Haha! Immediately after, the surrounding bandits also broke out in laughter.
After all, they had just left the village, and although they had just experienced that blood-red scene, they were not present at that time. This was something that they had to face a battle, and it was possible for them to die, and Chun Aiwen was much stronger than them, just a lot stronger. At this moment, the cold wind of the night had not even dried the sweat on the forehead of the Chun Aiwen, who looked at the three of them and helplessly shook her head. "Hmph!"
The middle-aged man looked around and cursed, "Haha, you little bastard, I'll send you and your friends to hell right now. Why are you in such a hurry? You already know the exact location of our village. We won't let you go back and inform us."
The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Alice, then pointed at her with a smile, "Of course, this little beauty still needs to come back with me. That big brother of mine wants to get his son a wife and give birth to a young master! Hehe! "Hahaha!"
Even when her parents were here, she had been doted on by her parents, and even when her parents were killed she still had two brothers who took care of her. Just as Alice was about to charge up to the middle-aged man to kill him, a shadow suddenly rushed over to the side of the middle-aged man, and when he arrived in front of the middle-aged man, his fist landed squarely on the man's cheek. The man's laughing face twitched a little, and his fist ruthlessly smashed into the bridge of his nose, causing the sound of his broken nose to echo out in the quiet night.
