Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Chapter 33 Eliminate the Weeds at the Root

Having been in Beidou for over a year, Lin Jia has never worried about external threats thanks to Luo Qianqiu's protection. She only needs to focus on her cultivation, let alone personally take action to kill people.

But at the same time, she knew very well that this was bound to happen sooner or later. In a world like Beidou, if you don't kill someone, you'll be killed by someone else.

So, although it happened suddenly, Lin Jia felt that she was prepared.

A dazzling divine rainbow appeared, piercing the sky, and stopped the bandits in front of them in just a moment.

"You promised to spare our lives!" the bandits shouted.

But the next moment, several divine powers flashed by, their heads were ripped open with bloody holes, their bodies lost their strength, and they fell off the dragon scale horse.

Lin Jia landed back on the ground and took a few deep breaths. Her sense of smell seemed to be a million times more sensitive at this moment, allowing her to clearly smell the bloody scent emanating from the air.

This feeling is very unpleasant. Even if you are mentally prepared, the moment you actually kill someone with your own hands still brings a shock to your heart.

"Are you alright?" Luo Qianqiu appeared beside Lin Jia and asked softly.

"It's okay, I'll get used to it in a bit. Killing isn't as difficult as I imagined." Lin Jia shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Seeing this, Luo Qianqiu felt relieved and began the final step of the process.

Loot the corpse!

"Damn it, a bunch of poor bastards, more than a hundred people, and they can't even gather thirty catties of source material."

After a long while, Luo Qianqiu got up, grumbling.

He searched very carefully, and he was sure he hadn't missed any place where he could hide anything.

However, many of the bandits were empty-handed; the majority of the loot was scavenged from the bandit leader and three other bandits with cultivation levels, totaling only about 26 jin of source material.

"Even a mosquito's leg is still meat; something is better than nothing." In the end, Luo Qianqiu could only console himself with this thought.

Thinking about it, it's obvious that the so-called Luanshi Village is nothing more than a low-level bandit group in the Northern Region. How much good stuff could they possibly have?

These twenty-odd kilograms of resources are the result of their plundering over an unknown period of time.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the bandit leader was cunning and had hidden some of his men in Luanshi Village.

Luo Qianqiu stopped what he was doing, walked to Lin Jia's side, looked at her complexion, and seeing that she had recovered, said, "Let's go."

"Where to?" Lin Jia asked instinctively.

There's a saying that goes, "After you cut the grass, you have to remove its roots."

"That's called 'cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots'."

Luo Qianqiu said "Oh," and raised an eyebrow, "Right, go and nip it in the bud."

As the sun sets and the evening glow blazes like fire, two dragon-scaled horses slowly trot across the crimson earth, their shadows stretched long by the afterglow.

……

Luanshi Village, as its name suggests, is located in a forest of chaotic rocks, making it very secluded and difficult to discover.

At this moment, in the center of the village, inside a stone house, the second-in-command of Luanshi Village was warmly entertaining a young man, his words and actions subtly revealing his respect.

Clearly, this young man was no ordinary person. His cultivation level was not necessarily high, but because of his background, the second-in-command dared not offend him in the slightest.

"The sun is almost setting, why hasn't Li Hu returned yet?" The young man was getting impatient, frowning as he looked outside the stone house, his tone becoming rather unpleasant.

In response, the second-in-command could only force a smile and say, "Young Master Liu, please wait a moment. The chief is very sensible. Judging from the sky, he is probably already on his way back."

Young Master Liu let out a long sigh, picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Forcing down his agitated mood, he said, "I'm sorry, I've been having some troubles in the sect lately, so I've lost my composure a bit."

The second-in-command quickly waved his hand, indicating that he dared not. He knew the young man's identity; he was one of the most valued grandsons of the Supreme Elder of the Red Sun Sect, named Liu Yuntao.

As for Luanshi Village, it was just one of the many black gloves of the Supreme Elder of Hongrimen. It had some weight, but it could never compare with Liu Yuntao.

He shouldn't be ungrateful and take advantage of others' kindness.

Sure enough, seeing that the second-in-command was so sensible, Liu Yuntao's expression improved considerably. He picked up his wine cup and took a few sips, and the atmosphere in the stone house immediately eased a lot.

As time passed and darkness fell, candlelight was lit in the stone house, making Liu Yuntao's face appear gloomy and terrifying.

"If Luanshi Village doesn't want to pay the monthly fee, they can just say so. I will report back to my grandfather truthfully when I get back, instead of playing tricks on me like this," Liu Yuntao said in a chilling tone.

"Young Master Liu, please calm down. The chief may have been delayed by something, it's definitely not that he doesn't want to hand over his monthly wages," the second-in-command quickly pleaded.

"Then tell me, what exactly is it that made him leave me here for so long?" Liu Yuntao roared.

The second-in-command was speechless and had no words to defend himself, so he could only hurriedly send people out to search for the leader's whereabouts.

Now he only hopes that the chief's trip will be fruitful and that he can use the source to shut Liu Yuntao up. Otherwise, if he were to say a few words of slander to the Supreme Elder, it would be a devastating blow to Luanshi Village.

Meanwhile, outside Luanshi Village, Luo Qianqiu's ten fingers were like pens, and golden Dao patterns danced, either imprinting themselves on the stone forest or in the void, quickly sealing off the stone forest.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands and swaggered toward the entrance of the stone forest, making no attempt to conceal his presence.

"Who are you?" the bandits guarding the entrance shouted as they spotted the two men.

But the next moment, a blinding white light flashed, illuminating the night. With a soft thud, a bloody hole appeared on the bandit's forehead, and he collapsed to the ground.

But the sounds he made before he died alerted the others. A jumble of footsteps came from behind the stone forest, and soon several people rushed out from around the corner.

"Who dares to trespass into Luanshi Village?!"

The bandits shouted, both to intimidate those in front of them and to warn their comrades deep inside that there was an enemy invasion.

Luo Qianqiu remained unmoved by all of this, simply crossing his arms and showing no intention of making a move.

"Sizzle!", "Sizzle!", "Sizzle!"...

A flash of white light appeared, like divine swords, piercing the heads of several bandits.

Soon, another person rushed out from around the corner, but as soon as they showed their head, a white sword light pierced their skull, and they collapsed to the ground.

Lin Jia adapted quickly. She unleashed a series of powerful blows, killing about ten people, but she felt no discomfort. In fact, she even stepped forward, intending to walk around the corner and actively charge into the depths of Luanshi Village.

This posture is like that of a female war goddess; human lives are as insignificant as grass before her.

Luo Qianqiu watched this scene with admiration in his eyes. In a world like Beidou, those who are soft-hearted cannot survive.

Fortunately, Lin Jia did not become out of place in this world; otherwise, even with his protection, the other party's future would have been very difficult.
