858: Chapter 856: Determined to Execute without rcy 858: Chapter 856: Determined to Execute without rcy Imperial Dragon Mountain, Xiaoshanhe Institute.
Compared to the outside world’s praising and shock toward Xiao Yi and Xiaoshanhe Institute, inside the Institute was a picture of unparalleled calmness.
Even Xiao Yi himself had quickly composed his feelings and was engaged in arduous cultivation within the secret chamber.
Although his current combat power was more than enough to rival those in the Early Heavenly Venerate Realm, the path of martial arts never had an end.
The further one traveled on this path, the longer it beca, and Xiao Yi had only walked it for a re handful of years.
There were still many mighty beings that lay before him.
At least…
The Emperor of the Nantian Dynasty, Nantian Wen, was a formidable giant capable of slaying Heavenly Venerates.
Inside the secret chamber.
Little Lin was seated opposite Xiao Yi, and having been nourished for a few days, his injuries had completely healed.
Roar!
Little Lin trembled, shaking off the dim, broken scales from his body, which fell away.
From beneath his flesh, new and dazzling scales erged, as radiant as gold-carved pieces.
“Boss, my injuries are all healed!” Little Lin took on a human form, his doll-like face bearing a radiant smile.
Xiao Yi ruffled his head.
He was about to speak.
When Yu Huaxian’s voice ca from outside the secret chamber, “Leader, we’ve found Tong Zhan.”
“Hm?”
Little Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s great, we’ve finally found him.”
He had been following Xiao Yi’s orders to protect Tong Zhan in secret, but he ended up being captured by Ye Qingyu, resulting in a loss of contact with Tong Zhan.
Several days had passed since the sacred scripture for recruiting disciples ended at Xiaoshanhe Institute, and they had not seen Tong Zhan.
Now, at last, they had news of him.
The boulder hanging in midair for him could now be let go!
Clang!
The door to the secret chamber swung open with a bang, and Xiao Yi looked at Yu Huaxian before him and asked, “Where is Tong Zhan?
Why hasn’t he co to Xiaoshanhe Institute?”
Yu Huaxian hesitated, then said with a wry smile, “Leader, after parting with Little Lin, Tong Zhan hurried to the imperial capital, intending to send us a ssage.
But he t with an accident on the way.
He fell from a cliff and lost his mory, and was rescued by villagers in the mountains.
He, he…”
“What about him?”
Little Lin asked puzzledly, “Since we know where he is, why not just bring him back?”
Yu Huaxian frowned, troubled.
Xiao Yi pressed, “What exactly is the situation?”
Yu Huaxian explained, “Although Tong Zhan lost his mory, his strength remains in him, and he’s excellent in hunting and farming in the village, winning the favor of many won.
Today, he’s about to marry the daughter of the village chief.
That’s why our n didn’t rashly bring him back!”
“Uh…”
Xiao Yi and Little Lin looked at each other, completely not expecting such an ordeal for Tong Zhan.
After a mont of hesitation.
Xiao Yi said, “No matter what, first call Tong Yao over.
Since it’s her brother’s big day, she as his sister naturally shouldn’t miss it.
As for whether Tong Zhan still wishes to join Xiaoshanhe Institute, we’ll see in due ti!”
Little Lin nodded and promptly went to summon Tong Yao.
Several hours later.
Xiao Yi and his group arrived at the mountain village ntioned by Yu Huaxian, with the moon hanging over the willow’s treetops, casting a pale silver glow.
The whole village was festooned with lights and decorations, the scene trendously lively.
This village was called Moonlight Village.
The people were simple and warmhearted, and Tong Zhan, who had lost his mory, was like a blank slate, naturally winning the villagers’ affection.
At the village entrance.
Two youths dressed festively saw Xiao Yi, Little Lin, and Tong Yao approach and went up to greet them eagerly, asking, “May I know what brings the three of you to our Moonlight Village?”
Xiao Yi pointed towards the village, “Here for the wedding feast!”
“Oh, guests for the wedding feast, welco, welco!
Please, co inside!” Led by the young n, the trio quickly entered the village.
Because they had arrived quite late, their seats were a bit in the corner.
But they didn’t mind.
“Look, headmaster, brother is over there!” Tong Yao suddenly exclaid with excitent.
Xiao Yi and Little Lin followed her gaze.
Tong Zhan, a bit awkwardly, held the bride’s hand and was partaking in the tedious ritual, their faces showing a smile.
Xiao Yi muttered, “Actually…
letting him stay here, continuing this idyllic life, might not be such a bad idea!”
The ceremony continued.
It was ti for the bowing to heaven and earth, but just as they finished bowing to heaven and earth and were about to bow to each other as husband and wife, a group of uninvited guests appeared at the banquet.
Bang!
This was a group of over three hundred stocky, ferocious-looking bandits.
As soon as they entered, they overturned several tables, so of them grabbed wine jars and guzzled down the contents, while others tore into the roasted at.
The one-eyed man leading them watched Tong Zhan with a cold sneer, “Tong Zhan, half a month ago you killed eighteen of our brothers, their bones haven’t even gone cold, and yet you dare to celebrate your wedding so ostentatiously.
Do you not put Black Cloud Stronghold in your eyes?”
“Isn’t that the one-eyed dragon, the leader of Black Cloud Stronghold?”
“Half a month ago, the third-in-command of Black Cloud Stronghold led a group to raid our village, and in the end, Tong Zhan beat the eighteen n and repelled more than fifty.
Half a month has passed, and no one from Black Cloud Stronghold has co; I thought they didn’t dare to seek revenge, but they were actually waiting for the day of Tong Zhan’s wedding to make a move…”
“This is bad.
I’ve heard that the one-eyed dragon is a powerhouse of the Golden Core Realm…”
In the midst of everyone’s whispered conversations,
the elder village chief with his head full of silver hair gently patted Tong Zhan, who wore an angry look and was about to take action.
He then respectfully saluted the one-eyed dragon, “Leader, the events of that day can’t really be blad on Tong Zhan.
It was all because the third-in-command went too far, forcing Tong Zhan to act.
I beseech you to consider the tribute and respect we from Moonlight Village have consistently offered year after year and to spare us…”
“Old man, you want to spare you?
That’s not difficult!” the one-eyed dragon suddenly said.
The village chief was startled, his face showing joy, “Thank you, leader…”
“Don’t thank so quickly.
There are conditions if I to let you go!”
The one-eyed dragon’s face revealed a greedy glint as he pointed toward the coly bride beside Tong Zhan.
A burning desire flashed across his face as he spoke slowly and deliberately, “Let the bride warm my bed for ten days and a half-month, and I’ll let bygones be bygones.
I’ll spare Tong Zhan, and I’ll spare your Moonlight Village.
Otherwise, I will wash Moonlight Village in blood today!”
Buzz!
These words sent a shock through the crowd.
Let the bride stay with you for ten days and a half-month?
Even a gentleman would be ruthlessly rejected for making such a request, let alone a bandit chief?
If the bride really went with him, could there be a good outco?
Being alive would be considered lucky!
But if they refused…
With the strength of Black Cloud Stronghold, they could completely obliterate Moonlight Village.
What were they to do?
While everyone was at a loss, Xiao Yi’s voice erged from the crowd, “Black Cloud Stronghold?
If you don’t want to die, roll off my disciple’s wedding now.
If you’re still here in three breaths, I’ll show no rcy with my blade!”
