”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on defeating Big Panther and successfully acting tough. The reward is 10 act tough points.”
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on defeating Big Panther. The reward is 400 experience points.”
The system beep sounded in his head.
Xu Que froze.
What the, I… killed someone?
Xu Que felt rather astonished as he only wanted to test the power of Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. He was surprised at the fact that it took merely one punch in the first form to brutally kill Big Panther who had a natural God-like strength.
”Dragon… This… This is a dragon alright!”
Suddenly, a feeble, trembling voice filled with an expression of fear, could be heard.
Then, the group of Water Back villagers uniformly knelt on the ground with terrified looks as they tremble in fear. They faced Xu Que and pleaded:
”Ah! Immortal elder, immortal elder! Please have mercy!”
”We were ignorant, immortal elder, please forgive us and let us live!”
Eh? What’s this?
Xu Que froze for a moment.
”Puff!” ”Puff!”
Before he even knew it, he could hear muffled sounds coming from behind him.
Xu Que turned around to look and was stunned.
Several Pan Shan villagers, without a care for their injuries, also knelt down along with frightened faces and begged for mercy.
Back at Xiao Rou who froze in her tracks, she had her eyes filled with utter fear.
How could this be?
Xu Que couldn’t swallow the dramatic turn of events. It was understandable that the Water Back villagers were kneeling down to him but witnessing the Pan Shan villagers kneeling to him was intolerable.
Especially Xiao Rou whose eyes were filled with fear. Xu Que was crushed.
”Fellow villagers, what are you all doing, get up! I am only dealing with these bad guys. I have no intention to harm you people!”
He quickly dispersed his Qi, followed by the abrupt disappearance of the dragon figure around him. He faced the Pan Shan villagers and called out.
The villagers continued to kneel with the same petrified faces. All of them are too scared to speak.
Xu Que panicked, looked at Xiao Rou and said, ” Wh-What is happening? Tell the villagers to rise! I don’t mean any harm.”
Xiao Rou regained her attention. After that, she looked at Xu Que with fright and replied, ”You… You are an immortal cultivator…”
”What immortal cultivator!? I am the same as you people. We are all human!”
Xu Que was astonished. Was being a cultivator this scary? It seemed like they were worshipping an entity of deity of some sort.”
”Xiao Rou, don’t be afraid. I really mean them no harm. Tell me, what exactly is happening?”
”Really?” Xiao Rou spoke timidly.
”Of course!” Xu Que nodded.
Upon the reply, she became less pale from being frightened and regained her composure.
Following that, she explained to Xu Que regarding the immortals.
It turned out that to the east of the Pan Shan and Water Back village, there was a group of cultivators called the Celestial Sect.
It also turned out that in a hundred kilometer radius, all villages, including the Pan Shan and Water Back villages were under protection by the Celestial Sect.
However, the villages had to offer ration once a month. If a particular village had killed a wild beast, they can use the core of the beast to replace the ration tribute.
If under any circumstances, they have neither enough demon cores nor ration to tribute, the village will come under punishment.
Celestial Sect’s people will personally come to the village and capture several men and bring them up into the mountains. No one will know how and when they died, without any trace.
That was the reason the villagers were so afraid of cultivators.
After hearing the explanation, Xu Que was brimming with rage.
It was clear to him that the Celestial Sect were bullies. They took advantage of the fact that they were cultivators to extort from the villagers, causing them to live in fear.
”You people never thought of revolting before?”
