Chapter 103

A child's words carried no harm. Ergou's voice was tender, but his expression was serious. All the villagers were in despair. The man in black's expression turned cold. He waited for the child to reveal Zi Chen's whereabouts before slaughtering the entire village.

"You've seen them before. Then tell me, where are they?" the man in black asked coldly.

"Yes, I've seen them before."

Ergou's serious and tender voice rang out. He pointed at the man in black with his little finger and said, "You're a man and a woman!"

"What?" At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this explanation.

The man in black wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

"Is that wrong? I don't know you. You're all strangers. Strangers are a man and a woman. You're a man and a woman." Ergou's voice was tender, but he was serious, like a little adult who knew the truth.

The man in black's breathing became heavy. He was so angry that smoke came out of his body. At this moment, he had the urge to kill. However, a child's words carried no harm. Looking at the child's serious expression, he could tell that he wasn't playing with them.

"I don't know you. You're strangers. You're a man and a woman," Ergou said again. His voice was clear and tender.

The man in black was about to explode. A child's voice was the greatest insult to them.

"What a bunch of idiots. This mortal is trash. He's already so old and he doesn't even know whether he's a man or a woman. What bad luck. Let's go."

"We're really unlucky. How could we talk to a mortal for so long?"

"Damn it. You can tell from the name. Ergou. What a damn name!"

The group of men in black couldn't stand the child's clear eyes, funny words, and serious expression. They all cursed angrily. Then, they jumped on the back of the rocs and left.

All the villagers heaved a sigh of relief. When the rocs were far away, they all praised Ergou's intelligence.

"Why? Was I wrong?" Ergou's tender face was full of doubts.

"Yes, you're right."

"Your answer is completely correct!"

Everyone laughed.

The crisis was over just like that. For this reason, the village chief specially told Zi Chen the good news.

Wang Xian 'er had woken up. Her injuries were too serious, and Zi Chen had already treated many wounds on her body.

There were only two people in the small cellar, and the sound of their breathing could be heard. The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"Hurry up and recover from your injuries. This is not a long-term place. We can't implicate the villagers."

The Village Chief walked over, and the two of them cultivated separately, alleviating the awkward atmosphere.

The villagers were very happy that they had survived the ordeal. They all praised Er Gou for being smart and witty. Er Gou's parents were very proud of him.

The sky had turned completely dark. There was only a half-moon in the sky, and it was obscured by the dense fog, making it hazy.

They still had to work tomorrow, so they had to rest early today. Suddenly, a roc's cry sounded in the sky, and the hazy night disappeared in the next moment. The high-pitched cries of the roc continued to ring out, each cry louder than the previous one. The wind howled like a stormy sea, surging wildly. In the sky, four rocs appeared. When they spread their wings, they covered the entire mountain village, and the hazy moonlight was completely blocked.

"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!"

One figure after another flew down from the back of the rocs. They were all dressed in black, and in the pitch-black night, they looked like ghosts.

Their figures were elegant, and their expressions were cold.

The villagers had been awakened and were terrified. They thought that the other party had discovered something, so they all walked out of their houses and looked at the men in black in fear.

During the day, there were only a few men in black, but now, there were more than ten of them, and all of them were filled with killing intent.

"My … My Lord, what's the matter?" The Village Chief walked out trembling. His turbid eyes were filled with panic, as if he was very afraid.

"Hmph, you stupid unruly people. How dare you lie to me. Do you want your village to be slaughtered?" The leader of the men in black snorted, and his killing intent surged.

The Village Chief was so frightened that he sat on the ground, looking very embarrassed. "My Lord, I'm innocent. How dare we lie to you?"

"You're still denying it? Every house here has a cellar. Why didn't you tell me?" The man in black said coldly.

The Village Chief felt wronged and helpless. "My Lord, you didn't ask us!"

"Cut the crap. Search the houses."

The man in black snorted. Then, with a whoosh, the men in black rushed into the houses. As for the leader, he walked into the Village Chief's house.

Zi Chen was hiding in the cellar, and the villagers naturally knew that. When they saw that the men in black wanted to search the cellar, they were all terrified. Fortunately, they were already very frightened, so they didn't arouse any suspicion.

The Village Chief's mind was spinning. He followed behind the man in black, not knowing what to do. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

"Bring me to the cellar." The man in black said coldly.

The Village Chief could only nod and lead the way. Although the speed was very slow, the yard was only so big, and there would be an end to it. Pulling open the wooden door of the cellar, the old man walked in first, and the men in black followed behind.

In this damp cellar, the old man could clearly hear his own heartbeat. Badump, badump.

"Are you nervous?"

"No, no!" The old man shook his head, but his heartbeat was even faster.

"Hmph!"

The man in black snorted disdainfully, but in his heart, he thought, this is really a group of stupid mortals, timid and afraid of trouble.

They left this place and continued to chase into the distance. They saw many burnt houses. Those were the houses where Zi Chen had cremated the villagers. After that, they saw many cellars. After searching for a while, they found nothing. After that, they turned back.

There was a small stone staircase, but when they reached the end, it was a very big cellar. There was a faint fragrance in the air, and it was different from the humid air.

The Village Chief was very scared, and led the men in black here. However, when they reached the bottom of the cellar, they didn't find a single person. Not to mention a person, even the bed that was placed here was gone.

"My Lord, look, there is no one." The old man's heartbeat was even faster, and he was still very nervous.

The cellar was only so big, and one could scan it a few times. The man in black naturally found it. Suddenly, he frowned and said coldly, "This cellar is dark and damp, where is the fragrance coming from?"

"This …!"

The old man was startled. To be honest, he didn't smell any fragrance, but when he heard the man in black, he looked around and found a small sachet next to a porcelain jar in the corner of the cellar. He was relieved and pointed, "My Lord, it should be the child who left it here while playing hide and seek."

"Hide and seek?"

The man in black's eyes were full of disdain. After confirming that there was no one here, he wanted to leave immediately. He was afraid that if he stayed with mortals for too long, he would become stupid.

In the end, the man in black left. When he was outside, the others had already appeared, and none of them found him.

The man in black was too lazy to talk nonsense. There were many trees and forests here, and the possibility of Zi Chen coming to the village was not high. Moreover, it was impossible to make the villagers lie. After all, Zi Chen was a member of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, and this was the territory of Yunxia City.

One by one, they jumped on the back of the rocs and left. The man in black was too lazy to look at the villagers.

The rocs finally left, but the villagers were still worried. No one dared to cheer, and they all returned to their rooms to rest quietly.

At night, a figure appeared in the sky above the small village. An invisible energy extended from the sky and swept towards the ordinary village. The villagers were resting and didn't notice anything unusual. After a long time, the figure in the sky turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

When the sky was bright, the man in black didn't appear again. The villagers began to cheer, and then they started to work for the day.

Zi Chen and Wang Xian 'er came out from the secret compartment in the cellar. The small compartment could barely accommodate two people, and with some clothes, their bodies were close together. It was very ambiguous.

The faint fragrance of her body wafted into Zi Chen's nose, causing his body and mind to ripple. In addition, the two of them were close together, and some parts were even close to each other. Her perky breasts stimulated Zi Chen through the soft red clothes, causing him to have a subconscious reaction. A hard object was pressed against Wang Xian 'er.

Zi Chen was very embarrassed. This was a natural reaction. However, Wang Xian 'er was embarrassed and angry. She couldn't wait to kick Zi Chen away.

After the man in black left, the two of them stayed together for a few hours. They didn't say a word, but it was very ambiguous. During this period, Zi Chen closed his eyes tightly. He was chanting in his heart, "Emptiness is form, form is emptiness." However, his mind was still unable to calm down.

Wang Xian 'er was also very shy.

When the sky was bright, Wang Xian 'er couldn't take it anymore. She kicked Zi Chen out of the secret compartment.

The man in black didn't come again. The two of them hid in the cellar and recovered from their injuries.

In the outside world, the man in black continued to search for Zi Chen. He had already left this place.

Days passed. Five days later, Zi Chen's injuries were fully healed. He was lively again.

In this cellar, the two of them had a lot of contact. They slowly became familiar with each other. The cellar wasn't big. The two of them ate and lived together. It was very awkward and ambiguous. Therefore, in the evening, the two of them would go out to relax and at the same time, inquire about some news.

Wang Xian 'er's injuries hadn't fully healed, so she couldn't leave. Besides that, she also stayed here in hopes that someone from Yunxia City would come to her rescue.

Wang Xian 'er's red dress had already been torn to shreds, revealing her skin. At this moment, she was wearing a rural woman's dress. It had been washed until it was bleached white, but there were no patches. She was like a green lotus, untainted by the mud. She was elegant, refined, and beautiful. Ordinary clothes couldn't hide her excellent temperament. Her face was painted with a layer of dark yellow, but there was another kind of charm to it.

After interacting with the villagers, she got to know more about Zi Chen. Moreover, everyone guessed that Wang Xian 'er was Zi Chen's little girlfriend. They all praised Zi Chen even more. They called him a young hero and talked about Zi Chen's heroic deeds.

They talked about chasing the enemy for more than a thousand miles and killing villains.

Although Wang Xian 'er was a disciple of a big family, she hated evil. Hearing the villagers' words, she was very touched. Zi Chen had been chased by the Martial Ancestor's people. He must have just avoided the Martial Ancestor's people when he discovered the massacre in the village. Therefore, he chased after them.

After killing the enemy, he wanted to take refuge in Yunxia City. He didn't expect to meet people from the Assassins Pavilion and accidentally enter the Thousand Illusion Sword Formation. Fortunately, Zi Chen was extraordinary and didn't die.

A few days later, Wang Xian 'er's injuries were healed.

"Reinforcements still haven't arrived. Why don't we go to Yunxia City?" Wang Xian 'er suggested.

"It's good to go to Yunxia City, but can you guarantee that there are no black-clothed men guarding the road? They are probably waiting for us there," Zi Chen said.

"Then what should we do? Are we going to stay here forever?"

"No, we will implicate the villagers. They can't find us, but they will come back to look for us." Zi Chen shook his head.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Yunxia City is so big. Are there only experts in the city? Are there any hermits in other places?" Zi Chen asked.

There were cultivators and countless legends in the Tianwu Continent. There were many powerful hermits in the mountains and rivers. They stood aloof from worldly affairs, but their strength was very strong. Now that there were Zephyr Realm experts chasing after them, Zi Chen needed the protection of these experts.

Wang Xian 'er's eyes lit up. This was indeed a way to seek the protection of those hermits. But soon, her expression became gloomy. "There must be hermits, but I can't find them. I didn't ask in detail before."

"Then there's no other way. We can only think of a way to go to Yunxia City." Zi Chen sighed helplessly.

Wang Xian 'er lowered her head dejectedly.

Suddenly, Wang Xian 'er's face lit up again. She said, "I know a place where our experts should be. We can go there to seek help."
