Chapter 107
As a friend of Tang Maolin’s family, coupled with the fact that little Nannan was especially affectionate towards him, Lu Sheng was warmly welcomed by the village.
“You came at the right time, just in time for big sister’s family’s return. I’ll personally hunt some game later. People like you who come from the city have never tasted it before …” The young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and bronze skin was especially warm to Lu Sheng. He hugged Lu Sheng’s shoulder with a warm attitude.
Lu Sheng understood from the chat.
The young man’s name was Gu Yue. He was the chief of Immortal Forest Village, the adopted son of the skinny old man. He was also the young chief of this small village with less than fifty people.
The skinny old man’s name was Gu Pingsha. Nannan’s mother was also the old man’s adopted daughter, named Gu Minghua.
Almost everyone in this village had the surname Gu.
Gu Yue sent Lu Sheng to the entrance of the village and called a few young men in the village to hunt in the mountains.
Everyone held a hunting rifle in their hands. Only Gu Yue held a cold weapon.
[TN: A cold weapon (or white arm) is a weapon that does not involve fire or explosions (such as the act of combustion) as a result from the use of gunpowder or other explosive materials.]It was a prismatic spike with cold light, but it had no handle. It was like a spear tip cut off from a spear.
“This village is not simple …” Lu Sheng looked at Gu Yue and the others who quickly disappeared into the forest and thought silently. He sensed it as soon as they met.
Gu Yue was a Level 1 Spiritual Master. The old man, Gu Pingsha, was Level 2.
Nannan’s father, Tang Maolin, was also a Level 2 Spiritual Master.
A small village called the Immortal Forest village actually had three spiritual masters.
This ratio was simply exaggerated.
Lu Sheng originally wanted to ask if he could hire someone to help him transport the dense silver, but he didn’t know what to say when he was put in the situation.
Since he was a spiritual master, he naturally knew the value of dense silver. He couldn’t guarantee that in front of such a large amount of wealth, these simple people would not change their minds.
Moreover, Tang Maolin didn’t look simple at all. Could it be that he had to show his strength and frighten all these people?
Just as Lu Sheng was thinking about how to deal with it, little Nannan quickly ran to him and said to him pitifully, “Big brother, Nannan’s ball is broken …”
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that little Nannan was talking about the red plastic ball that she played with him before.
“Where’s the ball? Let brother see it, brother will help you fix it.” Lu Sheng patted little Nannan’s head and said gently.
“The ball is … The ball is …” Little Nannan tilted her head and tried to recall the last time she saw her beloved red ball.
Her delicate and fair features scrunched together as she thought hard. Suddenly, little Nannan pointed in a direction and jumped up happily.
“Nannan’s ball is over there! Nannan’s ball is in that person’s hands!” Lu Sheng turned his head.
When he looked in that direction, the smile on his face began to fade bit by bit until it finally turned normal.
The Immortal Forest village that was originally bustling and filled with a cheerful atmosphere gradually quietened down.
Everyone looked in the same direction.
Tang Maolin’s expression turned ugly and solemn. The skinny old man also put down the smoking pipe in his hand and slowly narrowed his eyes.
At the entrance of the village, a group of people were gradually approaching. The leader was a middle-aged man in a chequered suit.
His eyes were emitting a demonic purple light, and one of his hands was holding a deflated red plastic ball, while the other hand was hanging casually.
Silver threads that looked like spider webs extended from the cuff of the hand. They danced in the air, and each silver thread was wrapped around a strong young man.
There were residents who had just entered the mountains to hunt among them. Young Gu Yue was also among them.
From afar, this person looked like a demonic monster that had walked out of the forest. Behind the middle-aged man, there were two strong men in black suits.
Each of the strong men was holding a young and beautiful woman in their hands. They were Zheng Dandan and Lin Zishan.
Zheng Dandan saw Lu Sheng and hurriedly shouted, “Lu Sheng, run! Run …”
Unfortunately, before she could finish, her mouth was covered by the strong man in the suit. Only muffled sounds of struggling could be heard.
Lin Zishan, who was next to her, was in a state of great shock and fear. Her face was pale and she was dazed.
A spiritual master!
The devil-like man in front of her turned out to be a legendary spiritual master!
Dongning University of Martial Arts had a student with spiritual master talent. That was the school’s true prodigy, surrounded by stars and shining brightly.
Lin Zishan knew how terrifying this group was.
That was a method that ordinary martial artists could not even imagine. It was rarer than Gifted Martial Artists.
Lin Zishan once accompanied her ex-boyfriend, Chen Fei, to challenge that spiritual master student. At that time, the two of them were competing to be the president of the Dongning University’s Martial Arts Club.
The opponent’s martial strength was a whole level lower than Chen Fei’s, but the result was … Chen Fei was knocked out of the ring in a single exchange. He did not even have the qualifications to force the opponent to make a move.
Lin Zishan was simply amazed by the power of a spiritual master.
And now, the purple-eyed man in a chequered suit standing in front of her was a spiritual master who was many times stronger than the president of the Dongning University’s Martial Arts Club.
“Otherwise, the two Level 4 Martial Artists who caught us wouldn’t be as obedient as dogs facing him …”
In this world, the strong would only yield to the strong. Along the way, Lin Zishan had more or less figured out the ins and outs of the matter from the conversation between the middle-aged man in the suit and the two strong men.
The middle-aged man in the suit was here to seek revenge on Little Nannan’s family. The latter had been avoiding their pursuit.
Since it was a relationship between the pursuer and the pursued, it was naturally clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
“It’s over. This time, I’m afraid I’ll really lose my life in the Ox Head Mountains … Why am I so unlucky to be inexplicably involved in this dangerous vortex …” Lin Zishan’s heart was filled with despair and desolation. She regretted her decision to come to the Ox Head Mountains to relax.
Whoosh!
A sharp sound broke through the air and interrupted Lin Zishan’s thoughts.
She saw a long and narrow shadow shooting from a distance. In an instant, it flew in front of Lin Zishan and the others, and went straight for the man in the suit.
The middle-aged man in the suit was not in a hurry. A silver thread suddenly shot out from his sleeve and struck the shadow.
The silver thread and the shadow intertwined in mid-air. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling. Even Lin Zishan, a Level 2 Martial Artist, could not see it clearly. She could only hear the clanging sound of swords colliding.
Not long after, the long and narrow shadow fell from mid-air and was sent flying by the silver thread.
Almost at the same time, the skinny old man standing beside Tang Maolin in the distance groaned. The light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
At this time, everyone could see clearly that the shadow that was hit by the silver thread was actually a tobacco pipe. However, it had been broken into several pieces at this time.
“Is this what you’re relying on? Tang Maolin.”
