At this time, several young men at the village entrance were carrying bows and arrows, constantly observing their surroundings nervously.
“Who goes there?”
As the group approached, they immediately raised their bows and arrows, ready for defense.
However, once they recognized these people as hunters from their own village, they all relaxed their guard.
Their gazes swept over everyone, and upon seeing Qin Xuan, some of them cast questioning glances at Mu Jing.
As if asking who this person was.
One of them, in particular, stared intently at Qin Xuan, remaining vigilant.
“Uncle Mu, who is this person?”
Although this person seemed a bit dim-witted, he remained consistently wary of Qin Xuan.
Seeing how alert these few people were, Mu Jing hurried forward.
“You blockhead, this is the Young Master we met when we entered the mountains! If it weren’t for his help, we would have been hunted down by the Qingyang Bird!”
“Don’t make things difficult; this Young Master has no ill intentions. He just wants to stay in our village for the night and will leave tomorrow.”
As Mu Jing spoke, the other few also came forward, speaking one after another.
“We already told you not to be nervous; this Immortal… Young Master’s strength is absolutely formidable!”
As he spoke, Mu Jing cupped his hands towards Qin Xuan, wanting to invite Qin Xuan into the village first.
“Young Master, they are just doing their duty. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Mu Jing was deeply afraid that Qin Xuan would get angry because of this.
Qin Xuan nodded indifferently.
He had no interest in dealing with these guards.
These guards were merely Mortals, just doing their duty patrolling here, which was why they stopped him to ask questions.
However, just as Qin Xuan was about to enter the village, a guard who looked like a captain walked over from the side. He walked up to Qin Xuan and blocked his path.
“Who are you? Why do you want to enter our village?”
This guard stared at Qin Xuan haughtily, as if he didn’t put Qin Xuan in his eyes at all.
Hearing this, Mu Jing hurried over.
“Wang Er, this is an honored guest I invited from outside. I guarantee with my life that this honored guest is absolutely no problem.”
“Besides, don’t you know what kind of person your Uncle Mu is?”
Hearing this, Wang Er merely sneered.
“No problem? Have you forgotten what the Witch said when she left?”
“Mu Jing, don’t try to act like an elder just because you gave me a few bites to eat before!”
As Wang Er spoke, a hint of arrogance flashed across his face.
The Witch?
Qin Xuan’s eyebrow twitched. It sounded like there was a formidable character in this village.
Recalling that the black stone given earlier was a Spirit Stone, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred.
Could this Witch also be a Cultivator?
Hearing this, Mu Jing’s expression immediately turned grim.
He walked next to Wang Er, staring intently at him.
“Wang Er, what do you mean? The Witch doesn’t know the situation here. We almost died on the road. If it weren’t for this Young Master’s rescue, we would have died at the hands of the Qingyang Bird. Shouldn’t a life-saving grace be repaid?”
Wang Er merely sneered.
“Life-saving grace? Who knows what kind of person you brought from outside? In short, without the Witch’s command, he’s not allowed into the village!”
Hearing that Qin Xuan was not allowed into the village, the few hunters Qin Xuan had saved immediately gathered around.
“Wang Er, are you crazy? It’s almost nightfall. If he doesn’t enter the village to be protected by the nuo god, this Young Master will be in danger outside. Do you intend to put this Young Master to death?”
Mu Jing spoke coldly, and the few hunters following behind him also gathered around, clearly wanting to force Wang Er to back down.
Wang Er snorted coldly. He gripped the plain blade in his hand tightly, standing firmly in front.
“As long as I’m here today, you’re not allowed to let him in. If he goes in, unless the Witch nods.”
As soon as his voice fell, a young man behind Mu Jing snorted coldly.
“Wang Er, what are you pretending for now? Six days ago, didn’t you let that woman in on your own accord? And she took all our food. If it weren’t for that meat being gone, would we still need to run out to hunt?”
“Now you’re starting to act like a human? What were you doing earlier?!”
Listening to these words, Wang Er’s face flushed red. He sneered, pointing his finger at Qin Xuan, wishing he could poke his finger directly into Qin Xuan’s face.
“It’s fine to let him in, but he has to kneel and kowtow twice to me. That woman at least accompanied me for a night. This kid at least has to kneel to me.”
Mu Jing could no longer hold back. He let out a low roar and was about to draw his knife!
“Wait!”
Just then, Qin Xuan reached out to stop him. He smiled calmly as he looked at Wang Er.
“You mean, if I kneel, you’ll let me in?”
Seeing Qin Xuan dressed elegantly, he should be a rich person.
Wang Er then sneered.
“That’s right, kneel and beg me, otherwise I won’t let you in today!”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s expression immediately turned cold.
In an instant, he coldly waved his hand forward.
“Slap!”
A loud sound came from Wang Er’s face.
Wang Er was directly slapped away.
Qin Xuan fiercely gave Wang Er a slap.
“What kind of thing are you, daring to block me!”
“Let alone you, a mere guard, even your so-called Witch wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous if she saw me.”
After speaking, Qin Xuan strode into the village.
Seeing this scene, the other guards present, although they wanted to stop Qin Xuan, instinctively stopped.
They knew they were no match for this person at all.
Wang Er’s heart was already filled with terror.
He knew he was no match for this person at all and could only lie on the ground pretending to be dead.
Seeing Qin Xuan get angry, Mu Jing reacted at this moment.
Qin Xuan was a powerful Immortal! Calling him Young Master was merely Qin Xuan being polite.
It didn’t mean they could truly disregard Qin Xuan’s strength.
As a result, they became even more respectful towards Qin Xuan.
“Young Master, we are truly sorry for our inadequate hospitality. Please forgive us!”
Qin Xuan knew that these matters had nothing to do with them.
He nodded, smiling as he looked at them.
“No matter, this has nothing to do with you!”
“I can still tell good people from bad. Uncle Mu, I wonder if you can find some knowledgeable elders in our village, or get a map. I’ll be leaving tomorrow.”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Mu Jing nodded hurriedly.
“Young Master, rest assured, I don’t have a map, but the elders in our village might know something. I’ll go find what the Young Master wants right away.”
Mu Jing then hurriedly handed the prey to the few people nearby and quickly left.
“Come on, let’s go in and butcher the prey.”
Mu Xuan waved excitedly.
Then she pulled Qin Xuan’s sleeve, wanting Qin Xuan to follow her.
Qin Xuan smiled and followed Mu Xuan away from here.
It wasn’t until Qin Xuan and the others had left that the other guards dared to go over and help Wang Er up.
“Pfft!”
Wang Er spat out a mouthful of blood, and seeing the few teeth on the ground, he immediately trembled with rage.
“Good, good, Mu Jing, you actually dared to bring outsiders into the village. I will definitely tell the Witch about this and have you severely punished.”
