Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

A small knife, less than three inches long, emitted a chilling light and shimmered with a green glow.

This is a tangible throwing knife, not formed from wisps of divine power within the Sea of ​​Bitterness; it is far superior to any 'divine rune'.

"As expected, he was just pretending to be weak!" Luo Qianqiu's eyes flashed like cold lightning. His powerful senses allowed him to clearly see the trajectory of the flying knife. He dodged to the side and avoided it.

The bandit leader was somewhat shocked, but then grinned maliciously, "Did you think dodging would work? Turn the throwing knife around."

"Sizzle!"

The emerald green flying knife shot out of the cave entrance, but the next moment it deflected and locked onto Luo Qianqiu again.

This is a weapon of control; only after one has forged their own weapon can they possess such power, allowing them to attack and kill enemies from a distance.

At this stage, a cultivator's combat power increases dramatically, truly possessing terrifying strength. Otherwise, no matter how much the Sea of ​​Bitterness is opened up, they can only fight with their fists raised.

It should be noted that in the early stages of cultivation, apart from the Holy Body and the Overlord Body, the physical bodies of other physiques are generally not very strong, at least not strong enough to withstand weapons with their flesh and blood.

Therefore, in the early stages of weapon-wielding combat, its destructive power is astonishing!

"Sizzle!"

The emerald light flashed by in an instant, as fast as a startled swan. If an ordinary person were to face this attack, they would have no choice but to confront it head-on.

But Luo Qianqiu was different. His five senses were amazing, and he could clearly capture the trajectory of the flying knife. He dodged it once again and stretched out two fingers to strike the side of the flying knife hard.

With a loud "clang," a tremendous force was released, causing the throwing knife to tremble, break free of control, and embed itself in the cave wall, completely disappearing from sight.

The bandit leader was shocked and tried to regain control of the throwing knife, but at that moment, a golden lightning bolt shot forward and arrived in front of him in an instant.

"boom!"

The Buddha's light shone brightly and intensely, and a golden figure appeared, raising a fist and striking the leader's head fiercely.

"puff!"

The bandit leader raised his arms to defend himself, but the force was overwhelming and far beyond his imagination. His arms were shattered, and his bones were broken.

Luo Qianqiu's eyes were fierce as he threw another punch. His golden palm and fingers seemed to be cast from divine metal, unlike flesh and blood.

Blood gushed forth as the bandit leader's head exploded in mid-air, splattering white brain matter. His body lost all strength and collapsed to the ground.

The bandits of Qingfeng Mountain, who had wreaked havoc in the area, died just like that, without a sound. The entire village was swept away by one man, and corpses littered the ground.

Luo Qianqiu withdrew his fist, shook off the blood, and muttered to himself, "It seems I underestimated myself. The combined effect of double the physique and ten times the willpower far exceeds my expectations."

This battle was utterly devastating; the bandit leader, who was only at the initial stage of the Life Spring realm, was powerless against him.

Of course, there were also limitations due to the location. The cave was narrow, and the bandit leader could not ride the divine rainbow to fly into the sky. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for Luo Qianqiu to kill him.

After glancing at the headless body of the bandit leader, Luo Qianqiu approached the cave.

Soon, he reached the end, which was a huge oval, fifteen zhang long and ten zhang wide, with torches on the cave walls for illumination.

Inside the cave, a dozen naked girls, around ten years old, trembled with fear upon seeing strangers enter. They hugged their knees, and tears silently streamed from their empty eyes.

This scene pierced Luo Qianqiu to the point of speechlessness, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart.

If the bandit leader hadn't been dead, Luo Qianqiu would have skinned him alive, dismembered him, and subjected him to a slow, agonizing death.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Qianqiu asked as gently as possible, "Is Li Xiaoya here?"

In the crowd, a nine-year-old girl's blank eyes revealed a hint of color. She timidly raised her head, said nothing, and just quietly looked at Luo Qianqiu.

"You are Li Xiaoya. Is your mother's name Zhou Yueyue?" Luo Qianqiu asked gently, afraid of frightening the little girls.

Tears streamed from Li Xiaoya's empty eyes. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Luo Qianqiu quickly said, "Don't be afraid, your brother knows your grandfather and is here to save you."

Then he looked at the other little girls and said softly, "You too, the bad guys have been defeated by your brother, you are all safe now."

Upon hearing this, the little girls' faces lit up with hope. This place was hell for them, and all they wanted now was to return to their parents as soon as possible.

Luo Qianqiu felt a heavy weight in his heart. Noticing that more than a dozen little girls were naked, he quickly got up, took out a large amount of cloth from a corner of the cave, draped it over the little girls, and gently told them to wait there before leaving the cave alone.

A moment later, Luo Qianqiu arrived at the place where they had parted ways, found Lin Jia and the young man, briefly told them about the situation in the mountain stronghold, and then arranged for the young man to go down the mountain to find the families of the women and girls.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Qingfeng Mountain was filled with a large number of villagers, a vast and bustling scene, their cries of grief almost echoing through the sky.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Jia's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Let's go, we should leave." Luo Qianqiu took Lin Jia's hand and silently turned to leave.

At the same time, Old Man Zhou, who was holding Li Xiaoya, seemed to sense something and just happened to witness Luo Qianqiu and Lin Jia leaving.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He simply held the little girl tightly, keeping this kindness in his heart.

Later, a small ancestral hall was set up in the main house of the Zhou family courtyard, where a longevity stele was enshrined.

When other villagers heard about it, they followed suit, especially the family of the woman who was rescued, who devoutly offered incense morning and evening.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

After leaving Qingfeng Mountain, Luo Qianqiu continued on his journey with Lin Jia.

Because the Sea of ​​Bitterness had been opened up to the size of an egg, and divine power could be initially released, Luo Qianqiu used his divine power to envelop Lin Jia while traveling.

In this way, even if he traveled at high speed, Lin Jia would not feel any discomfort, greatly increasing their travel speed. In the end, they left the territory of Yan State and entered a territory called Qi State in just five days.

Pingyao Town.

This place was one of the important towns in the State of Qi, with a highly developed economy and convenient water and land transportation. It was one of the transportation hubs in western Qi, attracting many business people to come and develop their businesses.

A hundred miles outside the town, there are continuous mountain ranges with overlapping peaks, lush trees, and many birds and animals in the forest.

In a quiet valley, a small bamboo house suddenly rose from the ground, hidden among the bamboo forest, quiet and peaceful.

"Alright, that concludes today's explanation. Think about it on your own first, and if you still have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Inside the room, Luo Qianqiu, dressed in black, looked at Lin Jia and spoke.

Half a month later, the two of them had started to integrate into the world, their clothing style becoming indistinguishable from that of the original inhabitants of Beidou.

"Phew, the knowledge of cultivation is truly vast. Without someone to guide you through it, even with cultivation scriptures, you'll only be able to stare blankly." Lin Jia frowned, rubbed her forehead, and felt a little better.

After a while, Lin Jia lowered her hand, looked at Luo Qianqiu with some anticipation, and asked curiously, "You should be close to entering the Life Spring Realm, right?"

"The Sea of ​​Bitterness has expanded to about the size of a fist, and there is no way to go further. I am preparing to try to break through to the Life Spring Realm," Luo Qianqiu nodded.

During this period, he would take half an hour from his precious cultivation time every day to explain cultivation knowledge to Lin Jia, and he often used himself as an example, so she knew his cultivation progress.

"That's great! Once I break through to the Life Spring, I'll be able to ride the rainbow. Looking at the entire Qi Kingdom, I won't be considered weak anymore." Lin Jia said excitedly.

After the Qingfeng Mountain incident, Lin Jia realized that Beidou was a cannibalistic world where the strong were respected and there was no such thing as fairness.

To avoid being eaten, you must become stronger, climb step by step to the top, become the rule-maker, and become so strong that everyone has to bow down to you.

This is the survival rule of BeiDou!
