Chapter 160: The Strange Village Head >

city gates of the Bone-Eating City were immense, and passing through them felt unreal, as if entering a giant's city."Is the Prince then just a descendant of the Bone Devouring King" Fang Yu asked usi...The bearded man clearly recognized Han Qi, his face changed, and he said, "Han Qi, we, the Scarlet Wolf Gate, do things, I'm afraid it's none of your business to point fingers, right"

That's what he said, but the strongman's voice had grown much weaker.

“I'll just point and draw, so what If you don't accept it, have your Sect Master come to the Han family, I'll talk to him personally.” Han Qi said with a cold smile.

Seeing Han Qi show no face, the rough-bearded strong man's face turned ugly, but he didn't dare to say much.

He knew that Han Qi, with his status, was not someone he could afford to provoke.

Then, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Thank you, Master Han, for your help." The old man looked at Han Qi and said.

Han Qi smiled faintly. “You must be the village head, right”

The elder nodded.

"How much of your spirit spring reserves do you have left I want to buy it all," Han Qi said.

The old man's face changed slightly, and he said, "Sir, there is a rule about selling spirit spring water. Each person can only buy one liter..."

“I can offer double the price to buy it.” Han Qi swayed his fan and smiled faintly.

Twice the price

The elder's eyes flickered, seeming to be moved.

Seeing the elder's change in expression, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Han Qi's eyes.

"How much would it take to buy all the Spirit Water you have" Han Qi asked.

The elder hesitated for a long time, shaking his head and saying: "I'm sorry, Young Master Han, we... really can't sell all the spirit spring water to you."

A glimmer of malice flashed in Han Qi's eyes, but on the surface he smiled and said, "It's alright, I also know my request might be too much to ask."

Han Qi turned to leave, but saw Zhong Yuan and his sister standing at the back of the queue walking over.

"Master Zhong, Miss Zhong, it's been a long time." Han Qi smiled faintly and walked to Zhong Yuan's side.

"Before Young Master Han, how could I possibly deserve the title of Young Master" Zhong Yuan quickly said.

"Greetings, Young Master Han." Zhongliyu lowered his head slightly and greeted Han Qi.

Facing Han Qi, both siblings felt a little nervous.

This man is no ordinary person, he is the eldest son of the Han family in Huaibei and one of the Four Heavenly Talents!

The reason I'm nervous is because there's a rumor that Han Qi is a very petty and vindictive person.

In the martial arts world of Huaibei, there's a saying: "It's better to provoke the King of Hell than to provoke Han Qi."

One can only imagine how dangerous Han Qi truly is.

Han Qi smiled and looked at Zhong Yuan and his sister.

Then, he noticed Fang Yu standing beside him, expressionless.

At this moment, Fang Yu was also sizing up Han Qi.

Are these the subordinates of Elder Zhong and his sister

How could you be so rude

Don't you know how to show respect when you see me

Han Qi was a little unhappy.

"This is…" Han Qi glanced at Fang Yu and asked.

"Well... this is Fang Yu, Master Fang." Zhong Yuan quickly said.

"Fang Yu...sounds familiar." Han Qi frowned slightly, he seemed to have heard this name before.

Suddenly, his face changed slightly as he asked, "Was it Fang Yu who defeated Gǔ Rú Lóng on Yue Xin Lake"

"Yes, it's Master Fang." Zhong Yuan replied immediately.

Fang Yu frowned. He had originally wanted to keep a low profile, but Zhong Yuan directly revealed his identity.

Han Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Yu.

Yesterday, he was still discussing with his family whether the events on Yuexin Lake were rumors.

Unexpectedly, I ran into you today.

After seeing the deity, Han Qi completely believed his previous judgment.

The things that happen on Yuexin Lake are just rumors!

If that Fang Yu is truly this person in front of us, it's absolutely impossible for him to defeat the Martial Venerable.

Han Qi was very confident in his observational skills.

Due to his personal preference, he observed a martial artist. Besides the natural aura of cultivation emanating from him, he preferred to focus on the martial artist's physique, bearing, and even eyes.

But in these aspects, the current Fang Yu appears to be quite ordinary.

It's too ordinary, it doesn't interest me at all.

How could such an ordinary congenital warrior possibly defeat a Martial Venerable

As for the attitude of Zhongjia siblings towards each other, Han Qi did not care, he only believed in his own judgment.

In a desolate place like Jiangnan, where warriors rarely see the world, it's understandable that they would be easily deceived as a group.

"Fang Yu, you were quite the sensation in the entire Chinese martial arts world yesterday, weren't you" Han Qi said with a faint sneer on his face.

Fang Yu didn't even want to pay him any attention.

This Han Qi, he has too much of a feminine aura about him, I don't like it.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that Fang Yu's abilities would naturally not be afraid of Han Qi, and there was no need to show him due respect.

But with Han Qi's petty nature, he would probably take his resentment out on their Zhong family!

As expected, when Han Qi noticed Fang Yu's cold attitude, his smile instantly disappeared, and his eyes turned sinister.

But he said nothing, gave Fang Yu a deep look, then turned and left, fanning himself.

His action made Zhong Yuan siblings' hearts skip a beat, their faces turning pale.

Han Qi, is really angry!

Fang Yu didn't pay any attention to Han Qi at all.

From the moment the old man appeared, his attention was fixed solely on him.

This old man seemed like an ordinary person, but he emitted a strange aura.

This aura was quite subtle, almost imperceptible. Fang Yu only noticed it by chance.

But this alone is enough to show that this old man is far from ordinary.

Just as Fang Yu was thinking, the elder walked over.

He glanced at Fang Yu, then turned his gaze to Zhong Yuan and Zhong Liyu.

"Are you here to buy spirit spring water, or are you going into the mountains" the old man asked.

Just now, when Han Qi was communicating with the old man, he had already revealed that the old man was the village head of this village.

Zhong Yuan thought for a moment and answered honestly, "We are going into the mountains."

“Oh, you're a bit late. Lots of people have been going into Mount Hakusawa these past few days.” The old man grinned, revealing a few remaining teeth.

"So many people went in... how many came out" Zhong Yuan asked.

The old man extended a finger, shook it, and said, "None of them came out."

At hearing this, the expressions of both Zhong siblings changed.

"Alas, you martial artists, too confident! You treat our advice as wind passing by your ears, and can only reap the consequences of your actions." The old man shook his head, walked with his hands behind his back, and left slowly.

Fang Yu looked at the old man's back, lost in thought.

……

After learning the situation, Fang Yu and the Zhong siblings came to the foot of Bai Chuan Mountain, ready to climb.

Four elders of the Zhong family, all at the Grandmaster level, arrived and followed behind the Zhong siblings.

At the sight of Fang Yu, the eyes of the four elders were all filled with astonishment.

Two elders witnessed Fang Yu and Gu Rulong's battle with their own eyes yesterday.

That scene was deeply etched into their memories.

Now that they see me, they only feel reverence.

At the foot of Mount Baichuan, there were also several other teams, including the Red Wolf Gate and Han Qi.

These teams didn't rush inside, but instead looked up at the mountain road ahead, as if still hesitating.

Fang Yu glanced at Zhong Yuan and Zhong Liyu beside him, their faces pale, and said, "Go in."

Zhong Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. Hearing that so many martial artists had gone in and never come out, he still felt fear.

Although Fang Yu is in the team, he is ultimately an outsider. In a real crisis, he may not necessarily protect him.

Seeing Zhong Yuan's face change, he froze in place. Fang Yu no longer paid him any attention and walked forward directly.

Master Fang...

Zhongli's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Zhongyuan, who was standing beside him in a daze, and gritted his teeth to follow after him.

"Master, let's go. With us here, you'll be safe." An elder comforted him.

After much inner turmoil, Zhong Yuan also made up his mind and followed him.

The other teams just watched Fang Yu and his group go up the mountain.

Han Qi watched the Zhong family slowly walk away, his eyes narrowed slightly.

After a while, more acquaintances arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Han Qi saw the handsome man at the head of the group and his face lit up with joy.

"Chen Luo!"

Chen Luo also noticed Han Qi, his brows furrowed.

"Chen Shao, you…" Seeing Chen Luo, Han Qi was very happy and was about to step forward.

Chen Luo didn't want to pay any attention to Han Qi at all, turning around and walking up the mountain.

Seeing Chen Luo so indifferent, Han Qi stomped her foot and gritted her teeth: "Chen Luo! Stand here for me!"

Then, he followed after.

A group of subordinates behind him, seeing that Han Qi had already entered the mountain, hurried to follow.

Chen Luo looked up at the deep mountains shrouded in thick fog, a strange gleam in his eyes.

This is his great opportunity!

As a reborn individual, he knew his fortune was absolutely stronger than that of anyone else in this world!

He was certain that as long as he went into the mountains, he would definitely find the spring and locate its source!

After that, he will step into the Nascent Soul stage! Regaining immense magical power.

All kinds of supernatural techniques mastered in the previous life can now be used!

By then, he will once again stand at the pinnacle of the world!

……

Fang Yu and his group slowly walked deeper into the mountains.

The deeper you go, the thicker the fog gets, and visibility decreases.

After walking for about ten minutes, the fog grew so thick that even the people next to me were hard to see.

This level of fog is clearly abnormal.

But the deeper he went, the more excited Fang Yu became.

Because he felt that the spiritual energy around him was becoming increasingly dense.

This suggests that deep within Mount Hakusan, a spiritual spring may indeed exist.

But for now, direction is an issue.

The fog was so thick that I couldn't see the road ahead.

"Ah!"

Just at this moment, Zhongli Yu, who had been following Fang Yu all along, suddenly let out a scream.tly to unleash his aura and shatter the restraints.But at that moment, golden light flashed in the sky and fell upon him.The saint's movements came to a halt. With all his might, he lifted his head an...
