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

"Seekers of the Dao?" Now it was Xu Yi's turn to be confused. What were seekers of the Dao? Could they be cultivators?

"Child, the seeker of the Way you speak of, is it someone who can fly and disappear into the earth?"

With curiosity in mind, Xu Yi asked.

"Flying through the sky and escaping into the earth? Those are immortals, aren't they? The seeker of the Dao I'm talking about is actually the thing you just killed."

After seeing Xu Yi put down his sword, the child was no longer as afraid as before. He breathed a sigh of relief. The danger was over, so he wouldn't be so scared anymore.

Xu Yi admired the child somewhat; he was quite bold to dare to cause trouble for such a monster at such a young age.

"This snake demon, you call him the Seeker of the Dao? Is there a reason for that?" Xu Yi was very curious. It was clearly a snake demon, so why was it called the Seeker of the Dao? Could there be some hidden reason behind it?

Seeing that Xu Yi knew nothing, the child understood that he was a stranger, but he was very powerful. If he could get Xu Yi to help hunt down seekers of the Dao, then his sister's illness could be cured.

"They're a group of greedy people, aren't they? They've been cursed by the serpent god, which is why they've turned out like this." The child stammered, unable to explain himself. He had only heard his sister mention the Seeker of the Way, who was a serpent god, a human hand, and something with these characteristics could be called a Seeker of the Way.

However, they don't know any magic or anything like that. My sister said that they are actually human beings who have been cursed, but she doesn't know if there is any possibility of recovery.

Xu Yi raised an eyebrow. He was actually a little speechless. This child didn't seem to know much. He was clearly very weak, so why did he still go up the mountain to find a Daoist? Would he become obedient if he was eaten?

Xu Yi didn't understand; this was truly a strange person.

"You saw how dangerous these seekers are, so why did you still come to find them? Could it be that they can grant your wish?" Xu Yi was still very curious. For this child to muster such courage, it must be something of great importance.

"Actually... actually, my sister is sick. Liu the blind man at the village entrance said that as long as he can find the blood of the Seeker of the Way, he can cure my sister."

The child mustered his courage and told the story: his sister was critically ill, but there was nothing left in the house to sell for money. He was still young and desperate. In a moment of desperation, he decided to go up the mountain. He believed what Blind Liu had said because Blind Liu was the village's "half-immortal".

He was skilled in divination and medicine, and almost everyone in the village would go to him when they were sick.

"Heh, was it Blind Liu who sent you up the mountain?" Xu Yi sneered. Although Blind Liu seemed to be very kind, Xu Yi couldn't help but wonder if he had some other purpose.

"This...it is true. Blind Liu said that I would definitely gain something from going up the mountain today. Blind Liu's predictions are usually very accurate, and the villagers all trust him." The child stammered, seemingly understanding the dissatisfaction in Xu Yi's tone.

He could only try his best to keep his emotions stable. He dared not cry, for fear that he would not be able to speak clearly if he cried. He had finally met a formidable person, and he could not afford to offend him.

Xu Yi nodded. So that's how it is. He wondered who this Blind Liu was, that he was specifically guarding this group of seekers of the Dao. Xu Yi couldn't help but think about it.

Just as Xu Yi was about to say something, the child suddenly knelt down, crying, "Big brother, you're a good person, please save my sister..."

"My older sister is a very kind person; she's always taken good care of me since I was little..."

The child went on and on about how good his sister was, but Xu Yi remained unmoved, lost in thought.

The child's older sister should know quite a lot; at least Xu Yi could get information about the Seekers of the Dao from her.

However, Xu Yi was only considering the pros and cons, wondering if there would be any other dangers if he entered this village.

For example, "Blind Liu," Xu Yi is actually quite worried about this person. Based on Xu Yi's intuition over the years, he always felt that this person might have some connection with the seekers of the Dao.

This is intuition.

"Big brother, please..."

The child felt wronged, tears welling up in his eyes. He was truly at his wit's end. He was the one who had lured the Seeker of the Dao here. He had originally thought the Seeker of the Dao was just a small snake, but he never expected that when it opened its mouth, it was bigger than his head and could swallow him whole.

Fortunately, there were enough trees in the forest, and the child weaved through them, thus escaping the seeker's pursuit, until the older brother appeared before him.

The child didn't know when he arrived. When he hid in the bushes, the older boy hadn't appeared yet; it was as if he had appeared out of thin air.

He felt that this older brother was like a martial arts hero in a wuxia novel, as if he could perform light-footed kung fu and appeared here silently. Therefore, the child believed that the older brother was capable of helping him.

Moreover, this older brother had just actually killed a Seeker of the Way who had been chasing him.

"Alright, I can agree to that. However, you'll be the one to kill this Seeker. I'll assist you."

Xu Yi cannot kill the Seeker of the Dao, otherwise the Seeker's flesh and blood will be absorbed by his sword.

At that point, forget about collecting the blood of seekers; the child would probably be terrified to death by this sword.

A sword that eats people—who wouldn't be terrified?

However, the child didn't see it just now. Luckily, he didn't see the scene of the sword eating the demon, otherwise he probably wouldn't dare to approach it now.

"Let's go, take me to find the so-called Seeker of the Dao." Xu Yi raised his sword and looked around.

The child wiped away the tears in his eyes and laughed out loud. He was unaware of Xu Yi's various considerations. In his eyes, as long as he could save his sister, he was a good person. His older brother was a good person, and Liu the Blind was a good person too.

"Oh, by the way, big brother, my name is Zhang Erniu, what's yours?"

Zhang Erniu walked up behind Xu Yi, following closely behind him, and said in a crisp voice.

Xu Yi didn't speak. He pondered for a moment and then said, "My name is Xu Yi. Xu as in promise, Yi as in easy."

Perhaps thinking of something, Xu Yi felt that introducing himself in this way was roughly to avoid making any promises lightly, regardless of the circumstances.

Please think carefully. It's not too late to make a promise when you have sufficient ability.

What you say, you must do. Even if you are not capable of doing it, you must do your best to accomplish it. At least in this way, you can be considered a person.

"Xu Yi...promises are easy to make..." Zhang Erniu didn't know what Xu Yi meant by saying these words. He just thought that the name was really easy to remember, or at least, it was convenient to remember.

"Brother Xu, may I call you that from now on?"

"Brother Xu, how old are you this year?"

"Brother Xu, where are you from?"
