Chapter 91

Even though the masked man was crippled, he still had a strong vitality. He held on for a full two hours before he was killed. His death was very miserable. There was no complete corpse. Not even a piece of bone that was bigger than a palm was left behind.

"This bastard killed so many people. What a sin."

"Sigh, the heavens are unfair. This bastard killed so many people. Why did he only have one life to pay for it?"

"My fellow villagers in heaven, I hope you can rest in peace. We have avenged you."

After the punishment, the small village was filled with sadness. It started to drizzle as if it was complaining about the injustice of these ordinary people.

Human lives were like grass. One person died and an entire village died. How tragic!

Speaking of the previous villages, many of the villagers sighed. Some of them even shed tears. They had relatives in those villages.

The village that was originally filled with joy was filled with sadness today.

Zi Chen was their savior. Naturally, no one would forget him. The villagers treated him like a god.

They killed pigs and goats to let Zi Chen have a good meal.

"Thank you, but there is really no need. I have urgent matters to attend to. I have to leave." He helped others to resolve the crisis, but no one helped Zi Chen. There were still people chasing after him.

"Young hero, you are the savior of our Qingshui Village. No matter what, you have to have a good meal today." The villagers kept urging him to stay.

"I will go back and kill the pigs." The butcher took back his knife. It had already been cleaned.

"I still have an old hen at home. It is five or six years old. I will go and kill it."

"I still have some cured meat at home. It is ready."

The villagers were all very enthusiastic.

The corpses of the dead villagers were not cold yet. Many of their faces were filled with sadness, but they still wanted to reward Zi Chen. They wanted to let him have a good meal. Everyone was grateful to Zi Chen from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at these simple villagers, Zi Chen lamented in his heart. The heavens were unfair. The simple villagers only wanted to survive. They wanted to eat every day and live a good life. They did not cause any trouble. However, trouble took the initiative to find them. One person died and an entire village died.

Zi Chen left. He really could not eat. The corpses of the villagers were not cold yet. He did not want to harm them anymore.

When he left, all the villagers came out to see him off.

Before leaving, Zi Chen left behind ten Yuan Stone Slags, which were the common currency of the continent. They could be exchanged for gold and silver, but gold and silver could not be exchanged for Yuan Stone Slags.

All the villagers were moved to tears and refused. Zi Chen just shook his head and left.

Now that the masked man was killed, he was finally able to settle one of his worries. Following the guidance of the villagers, he finally found the main road leading to Yunxia City after an hour.

Walking along the main road, Zi Chen's stomach started to growl. He hadn't had a full meal in a long time. The villagers' deaths had made him lose his appetite, but his stomach was empty, so he complained in advance.

"Where can I get food?"

Zi Chen looked around. There were no wild fruits at all. There were only trees with lush foliage that did not grow wild fruits.

"Do you want to eat the leaves?

If I had known earlier, I would have taken a piece of bacon. "

Zi Chen said in his heart. When he left, the villagers heard him say that he was going to Yunxia City, the largest city here. They all said that it was a long journey and brought some food for Zi Chen, but he refused.

If Zi Chen had to choose again, he would naturally refuse.

He was a cultivator. He couldn't survive without food, let alone those ordinary villagers.

After walking for another two hours, Zi Chen finally saw a tree full of wild fruits. He picked a few. Although they tasted raw, Zi Chen's heart was sweet.

After eating, he drank two mouthfuls of water to get rid of the bitterness in his mouth. Zi Chen picked more than a dozen wild fruits to eat on the road and walked along the main road.

He did not know when Martial Ancestor's people would catch up, so Zi Chen's speed was very fast. A day later, at a fork in the road, he found traces of wheels. According to the villagers, the direction of the wheels seemed to be in the direction of Yunxia City.

Dust was flying on the road, and Zi Chen finally saw human beings.

It was a caravan with two large carts of goods pulled by several fine horses. There was also a slightly luxurious carriage.

Zi Chen did not rush forward, but just watched from a distance.

There were more than a dozen people in the caravan, each of them carrying a sword. Among them, there was a man with a big beard who stood out the most. He looked rough and fierce, but he was the only one who didn't carry a sword. The others looked ordinary, and it would be hard to notice them in a crowd. However, each of them carried a sword, and they looked like a group of mercenaries.

Zi Chen followed the other party for two days. He felt that the other party was just an ordinary mercenary. They should be escorting the bearded man to Yunxia City. After confirming, he was ready to go forward and ask them to give him a ride.

After eating the hard to swallow wild fruit for the last time, Zi Chen stood up from the ground and walked forward. After walking for a few hundred meters, when he walked past a big tree, suddenly a change occurred.

In the blink of an eye, several cold weapons appeared in front of Zi Chen. Their speed was very fast, and they stopped at his neck in an instant.

Four people appeared from the dark, and two of the four weapons were at his throat.

"What are you doing?" Zi Chen raised both of his hands in the air, and his expression became flustered.

"Speak, who are you, and why are you following us?"

A middle-aged man walked out from behind the tree. He looked very ordinary, but Zi Chen felt a dangerous aura from him.

Now Zi Chen had killed several Xiantian masters. Just a glance was enough to give him a dangerous aura. He was at least a True Element Realm master.

Zi Chen's heart jumped. This ordinary man was actually a True Element Realm master, and the four people next to him were Xiantian masters.

"This team is strange."

In such a small team, there were five strong masters. Zi Chen no longer thought that the other party was ordinary.

This was all a disguise, and their strength was very strong.

These five people were from the previous team. Zi Chen did not care about their existence before, but at this moment, a sword was at his throat, and he did not notice it.

"I'm innocent, I'm not following you. I just want to go to Yunxia City and see if you can give me a ride." Zi Chen cried out with a bitter face.

"Humph, sneakily following us for a few days, just to go to Yunxia City?" The middle-aged man's eyes became cold.

"This … …!"

Zi Chen's face was full of embarrassment, and he said: "I was afraid that you were bad people, so I did not dare to go. I quietly observed you for two days and found that you are just ordinary mercenaries, so I hope you can take me with you."

Zi Chen said very sincerely, and his expression was very embarrassed: "If you don't want to, I will follow behind you and will not disturb you."

At this time, another person came from the direction that Zi Chen came from, and in his hand was the remaining wild fruit that Zi Chen ate.

"These are the things, there are no marks." The middle-aged man picked up the leftover wild fruit, carefully looked at it, and then looked at Zi Chen.

"Okay, I admit it."

Zi Chen's expression was even more embarrassed: "I don't have anything to eat, and recently I have been eating wild fruits. I want to follow you because I want to get something to eat."

"Humph."

The middle-aged man sneered and threw away the wild fruit in his hand: "You can follow us, but let's see if you are qualified."

After saying that, he looked at one of the four people.

Three of the four people put away their swords, but the last person raised his sword and stabbed. The sword flashed and cut Zi Chen's neck.

"Ah … Are you guys going to kill me? I just want to follow you guys and get some food. It's an emergency. Is there a need for you guys to kill me?" Zi Chen let out a strange cry. His eyes were filled with fear. With a tap of his feet, he dodged to the side.

"Slash!"

Although he dodged the attack, a piece of cloth around his neck was cut off.

"What do you want? I don't want to take advantage of you. I have primordial stones, I have primordial stone fragments, I can give them to you." Zi Chen kept retreating, and in a panic, he took out a piece of primordial stone fragment.

During this time, the man with the sword attacked several more times, and each of his attacks brushed past Zi Chen's clothes. His methods were ruthless. If Zi Chen didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, he would have been dead already.

"Ah, don't kill me."

Zi Chen stepped on a stone by accident, and his whole body sat on the ground. Then, a sharp sword flashed and cut Zi Chen's neck.

"I'll give you two pieces of primordial stone fragments." Seeing that his life was in danger, Zi Chen shouted and took out another piece of primordial stone fragment.

At this moment, the long sword stopped at Zi Chen's throat. The tip of the sword carried an eerie chill. Just a little bit more and Zi Chen would have lost his life.

"Hu … … Hu … …!" Zi Chen gasped for breath, and cold sweat dripped down his head. His eyes were full of panic.

"Here, here, two pieces of primordial stone fragments." Zi Chen carefully handed over the primordial stone fragments in his hand, ready to give them to the person in front.

Who knew that the other party just curled his lips, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and put away the long sword.

"True Qi Level 65, should be twenty years old. His talent is average." The middle-aged man said indifferently.

"Uh, I'll be twenty in a month." Zi Chen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said guiltily.

"Hmph, I think it's a month away from twenty-one."

There was laughter all around, and every ordinary person looked at Zi Chen with disdain.

"Damn it, you're still disdainful? Look at your faces." Zi Chen cursed in his heart. He was actually despised by such a group of people.

But on the surface, he showed that his lie had been exposed and was even more embarrassed.

"Take back your primordial stones. We can take you with us and give you good food and drink. You don't have to pay anything." The middle-aged man said.

"So simple?" Zi Chen was suspicious.

"Of course not, when we arrive at Yunxia City, you have to do something for us."

"If it's killing, I won't do it. I hate killing people." Zi Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "I'll give you the primordial stones."

"Hmph, why would we need to find a waste like you to kill people." Someone next to him coldly snorted.

"We don't want you to kill people, we just want you to deliver a message." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"That's good, as long as you don't kill people. As for delivering a message, it doesn't hurt or itch. That's fine, but I've been eating and drinking you all the way here. Just delivering a message seems like a loss. I can deliver a few more messages." Zi Chen said honestly.

"Hmph, you're honest. Don't worry, there's only one message." The middle-aged man sneered and then walked forward.
