He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

A rustling sound came from the cave. Xu Yi gripped his sword tightly, ready to attack at any moment. He couldn't use any spells at this time.

Xu Yi was afraid that his body would have some adverse reactions after using the spell. At least in the current situation, it was not safe to try it lightly.

If he were to attempt this now, and something were to happen, he could very well be doomed.

Soon, as Xu Yi kept a close eye on the situation in the cave, the Seeker of the Dao inside made his move. He shot out of the darkness like an arrow and rushed straight toward Xu Yi.

Xu Yi had no intention of dodging. In his opinion, although the seeker hiding in the shadows had a good idea, his strength was still lacking.

For Xu Yi, he was still too weak. In an instant, Xu Yi raised his iron sword, intending to cut him in two with one stroke. But then he suddenly remembered that if he killed this seeker of the Dao, wouldn't he have to go and find the next seeker of the Dao, which would take a lot of effort?

However, the situation inside the village doesn't seem easy to guess. According to the information Xu Yi currently has, only Blind Liu is a relatively dangerous person. But no matter how powerful he is, he is still just a mortal and should not be able to resist this evil-slaying spell.

Just in case.

Without other spells or techniques, Xu Yi might not even be able to cultivate a trace of magical power, which makes things difficult to predict.

If that blind man Liu is a cultivator, then things will probably be troublesome. I wonder if this evil-slaying incantation will be effective against such a cultivator.

Xu Yi thought to himself, he had already done a lot of calculations in his mind. He did not think that taking blood was a good approach. Perhaps this was not the way to treat the disease. It was just that the blind man Liu needed the blood, and it was Liu who had the need.

Seekers of the Dao are humans who have 'evolved'. Every time Xu Yi thinks about this, he feels inexplicably nauseous. However, the system has a hint that what he killed was clearly a snake demon. The rumors about seekers of the Dao are likely a misunderstanding, but Xu Yi currently has no way to prove it.

Once we get to the village, we should be able to unravel some of the mysteries.

Once his thoughts reached this point, Xu Yi quickly smoothed the sword's edge and instead used the blade to strike the oncoming seeker of the Dao with great force.

The Seeker of the Dao was fast, but Xu Yi was even faster. He was originally a cultivator with a very high cultivation level, and his body was already very powerful. Although he lost his original cultivation in this world, some of his physical reactions were incomparable to those of the Seeker of the Dao.

The iron sword struck the Seeker heavily. Xu Yi seemed to hear a dull thud, and then the Seeker's black body fell to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

Xu Yi sheathed his longsword. He could sense that the Seeker of the Dao had been knocked unconscious by him. This was the first time he had carefully observed this creature. Seeker of the Dao. Xu Yi gently called out to Zhang Erniu, indicating that there was no danger here.

Zhang Erniu hid behind a big tree. He only dared to show his head after hearing Xu Yi's voice. He had been hiding behind the tree the whole time. He was very scared. Yes, especially after meeting Xu Yi, this fear became more and more intense. His fear seemed to be magnified, which puzzled him.

Perhaps that's just how people are; once they have someone to rely on, they become very sensitive and vulnerable, let alone Zhang Erniu, who is just a child.

After the danger was over, Zhang Erniu came to Xu Yi's side. His heart was still pounding. Although there was no danger, he was still very scared. Was he afraid of losing Xu Yi? Perhaps it was this feeling that made him consider Xu Yi someone he could rely on after their conversation.

Zhang Erniu was actually more afraid of something happening to Xu Yi than of the Seekers of the Dao. If he were really afraid of the Seekers of the Dao, he wouldn't have gone up the mountain alone. It's just that Xu Yi gave him too much sense of security, which made him really think of himself as a child.

This change was something even Zhang Erniu himself hadn't noticed. It was very strange that Xu Yi stood in front of him, blocking things he thought were impossible and blocking all the dangers that came his way.

"If only Brother Xu could stay and help me take care of my sister..."

For some reason, when Zhang Erniu arrived in front of Xu Yi and saw Xu Yi standing there with his sword, he inexplicably had this thought. However, he quickly dismissed the thought, as it was something he couldn't bring up. Zhang Erniu knew that Xu Yi wasn't a local, and he must have come here for some reason.

He must have some kind of mission or destiny on his shoulders; someone like him would definitely have many followers.

Zhang Erniu had automatically projected Xu Yi into the image of a martial arts master. He had read about such masters in storybooks; they were always like this, with many suitors behind them. Moreover, when they came to a place, they always had some purpose.

There must be some secret treasure or divine weapon waiting for them. Could there be some secret in our village as well? For a moment, Zhang Erniu's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.

"Erniu, my sword cannot be used to draw blood. You'll have to handle these things yourself," Xu Yi said softly. If his sword killed the snake demon, it would probably turn into a dried corpse and ashes in the blink of an eye.

This is not a good sign.

"Don't worry, Brother Xu, now that I'm here, I definitely have my own tools."

After Zhang Erniu finished speaking, he took out a short, chipped blade from his pack. The blade was already cracked in many places. If Xu Yi were to use this kind of blade, he probably wouldn't be able to fight against the Seeker of the Dao.

Xu Yi was able to defeat the Seeker of the Dao largely because of the power of this iron sword.

Although it is rusty, its sharpness is top-notch and unique.

Xu Yi looked at the cracked dagger and couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't appeared, the child would have been dead for sure. A dagger trying to survive in a dangerous place, this kid is really something.

Before leaving the village, Xu Yi decided to get the child a new short blade.

Zhang Erniu took out a container from the package and plunged the broken dagger into the seeker's skin. Soon, a stream of black liquid flowed out from the dagger.

He then used a container to catch the black liquid.

Xu Yi, standing to the side, looked on in confusion. This was the blood of a seeker of the Dao? Why was it black? But that was normal. After some animals cultivated into spirits, their bodies would undergo great changes. Some demon beasts, after achieving supernatural powers, would even have their blood turn golden.

Xu Yi had seen all of these with his own eyes; whether the blood was green or golden, it was there.
