Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"So you're Village Chief Li's son?"

Beside him, Zhang Huchen slowly sheathed his sword, his gaze sweeping over Li Wen as he looked him up and down. "Tenth level of Body Refinement? Although your strength is a bit lacking, it's barely passable. Are you sure you want to convert to the Holy Sect?"

"Yes, yes, sir, I...I'm sure!"

Faced with Zhang Huchen's probing gaze, Li Wen hesitated, seemingly struggling with the decision to join the Wusheng Sect, but ultimately chose to submit.

Because he had no other choice!

With Li Wen's weak cultivation level, it would be tantamount to courting death if he wanted to confront Zhang Huchen and the group of Wusheng Sect martial artists head-on!

Therefore, in order to save the lives of his father Li Yu and the remaining villagers, Li Wen now has no choice but to convert to the Wusheng Sect!

"very good!"

Seeing Li Wen voluntarily convert to the Wusheng Sect, Zhang Huchen nodded slightly, then added, "However, I have one more condition...!"

"The Holy Church is still in the recovery phase and urgently needs a large influx of fresh blood. So, apart from you and your son, all the surviving villagers of Lychee Village must also join the Holy Church and go to the Holy Church headquarters to receive orders."

"Lord Zhang! These villagers of Lychee Village are all mortals with no cultivation whatsoever. Even if we let these mortals join the Holy Sect, it would be of no benefit to the sect's growth and expansion. It would be better to let them continue living here..."

Upon hearing that Zhang Huchen intended to take away the remaining villagers of Lychee Village, Li Wen frowned and couldn't help but step forward and bow.

"Li Wen, you don't need to worry about these things. Just do as I say, otherwise I can't guarantee the safety of you and your son, as well as the lives of all the villagers of Lychee Village..."

Zhang Huchen glanced at Li Wen as well, and said in a meaningful tone that it seemed that the Wusheng Sect behind him was recruiting believers on a large scale, and that it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"this...!"

"Wen'er, no!"

Just as Li Wen was struggling with this dilemma, Li Yu, who was lying on the ground beside him, suddenly got up. Ignoring the fact that he was covered in blood and looked weakly at Li Wen, he said, "The Wusheng Sect is a wicked sect that plagues the region. If we collude with the members of the wicked sect, even if we can survive for now, we will definitely not have a good end in the future..."

"Wen'er, don't forget, these people have the blood of countless villagers from Lychee Village on their hands. Even if it means death, we, father and son, must never yield...!"

Li Yuqiang held himself up, his tone still cold and stern.

"Father, I...!"

Seeing this, Li Wen, who had originally decided to convert to the Wusheng Sect, couldn't help but waver. His face was now flashing wildly, turning pale.

"You old bastard, you're asking for it...!"

Seeing that Li Yu dared to cause trouble even when he was about to die, a member of the Wusheng Cult at the second level of the Condensation Realm was also furious. He immediately drew his long sword and slashed at Li Yu's head.

Clang!

In an instant, a crisp, loud clang of silver metal colliding rang out.

Bang!

The next moment, this member of the Wusheng Cult was also sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, until he finally crashed heavily to the ground, his weapon being knocked away, leaving him almost powerless to fight back!

"How could you... Pfft!"

Struggling to his feet again, the Wusheng cult member stared in disbelief at the person who had attacked him. His throat moved slightly as if he was about to say something, but the next moment he coughed up blood again and collapsed to the ground, then became completely still!

On the other hand, the person who made the move remained calm, as if he had not just killed someone, but merely crushed an ant. It was none other than Lu Feng, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time.

"What?!"

"One-hit kill...!"

"Just who is this kid?!"

Seeing Lu Feng's swift and decisive attack, instantly killing one person, the Wusheng Sect martial artists around him also changed their expressions slightly, revealing their shock.

After all, the Wusheng Cult member who had just died at Lu Feng's hands was not weak; his cultivation had reached the second level of the Condensation Realm, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move from Lu Feng!

This clearly demonstrates Lu Feng's remarkable strength!

As for the Wusheng Sect martial artists present, apart from Zhang Huchen, the squad leader at the sixth level of the Condensation Realm, most of them were below the second level of the Condensation Realm, and there were even a few newcomers who had just entered the Body Refining Realm. They posed no threat to Lu Feng at all!

"You, you're also a martial artist...?!"

Seeing Lu Feng suddenly start killing people, Li Wen, who was standing to the side, was also a little dumbfounded.

At first, he thought the other party was just an ordinary mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken. However, he never expected that Lu Feng was just pretending to be weak to deceive others, and the other party's strength was far beyond his imagination!

"Brother Li, your intention to save people is good, but unfortunately in this dog-eat-dog world, only strength is fundamental. Otherwise, no matter how much scheming and plotting you employ, it will all be in vain in the end..."

Turning his head to glance at Li Wen, Lu Feng remained calm, then his gaze returned to Zhang Huchen and the others not far away. "I say, you bunch of heretics from the Wusheng Sect are pretty powerful, aren't you?"

"What kind of skill is it for a group of people to bully an old man who can't even kill a chicken? Why don't you let me, your young master, have some fun with you?"

Lu Feng originally planned to deal with the Wusheng Cult members who were killing and massacring villages, but Li Wen suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which disrupted his plans.

Now that Lu Feng knows the origins and purpose of these Wusheng Cult members, there is naturally no need for him to continue pretending to be subservient.

Moreover, with his current cultivation level and strength, annihilating these Wusheng Sect martial artists would be a piece of cake, like slaughtering pigs and dogs!

"This person's Yuan Qi aura is not only profound and solid, but also in no way weaker than mine; it's at least at the sixth level of the Condensation Realm...!"

Secretly releasing his Yuan energy to sense that Lu Feng's Yuan energy aura was no weaker than his own, Zhang Huchen frowned and his face gradually became solemn.

After all, the difference between each level of a Condensation Realm martial artist is enormous. Even with the help of a group of Wusheng Sect martial artists by his side, he dares not say that he can definitely defeat Lu Feng right now!

"Aren't you from Lychee Village?"

Zhang Huchen's tone was gloomy, and his gaze was still fixed on Lu Feng not far away. He seemed to be quite wary of the latter's strength and did not dare to make a move immediately.

"Whether it is or not, so what?"

Faced with Zhang Huchen's probing, Lu Feng merely raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of mockery.

He was perfectly aware of the other party's little schemes, but Lu Feng didn't need to go all out to deal with Zhang Huchen and the others in front of him. He only needed to use 30% of his strength to easily take them down!

"Since you are not from Lychee Village, why get involved in this mess? Don't you understand the simple principle that 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down'?"

With his eyes narrowed slightly, Zhang Huchen spoke again in a deep voice, his words laced with threat, "We are followers of the Wusheng Sect. Even if you are strong, you are but one person, and you cannot contend with the Holy Sect. Your only fate is death..."
