In a Void Realm ten thousand miles away from the Profound Ancient Mountain Range.
The Spirit Phoenix of Moon Gazing rested on a mountain peak.
And the Princess, sat quietly on the back of the Divine Phoenix.
Her black hair danced in the wind, and her figure was impeccably curved.
Sitting alone at this moment, she had lost some of her coldness and gained a touch of lonely beauty.
Beneath the Princess's golden mask, her expression was profound.
"Jun Xiaoyao… Jun Xiaoyao…"
The Princess repeatedly muttered this name, as if it held some inexplicable magic.
Afterward, the Princess shook her head, feeling a surge of irritation.
She had never felt this way about a man before.
As for so-called love at first sight, she held it in even greater contempt.
That was merely finding an excuse for one's desires.
And just then.
A woman cloaked in black robes appeared.
"Young Miss…"
The Princess seemed not to hear.
"Young Miss?"
The black-robed woman was somewhat surprised.
Her Young Miss, who was always calm and perceptive, actually had moments of distraction.
"Hmm, how was the investigation?"
The Princess regained her composure, her tone indifferent.
"I've roughly investigated, and that male child doesn't seem to have any special background."
"From the information gathered from people he encountered along the way."
"He seems to have come from a small mountain village."
"Small mountain village…"
The Princess pondered for a moment, then said, "Then next, you do this…"
Hearing the Princess's instructions, the black-robed woman also nodded slightly.
…
In the deep mountains and great rivers, ancient trees and dense forests reached to the sky.
A small figure, like a fierce beast, leaped up and down, stomping a majestic mountain peak into collapse.
Naturally, it was Shi Tou, who had left the Profound Ancient Mountain Range.
"Who were those two people anyway? They were so powerful."
Shi Tou also mumbled.
He had Cultivated the Ten Thousand Spirit True Understanding since childhood, so he roughly understood that he was actually exceptionally gifted.
Perhaps in the future, he would truly become a great hero who could fly and burrow, as the old village chief had said.
"However, why do I always have a bad premonition…"
Shi Tou frowned.
Especially that White-robed man, he always made Shi Tou feel uneasy.
He naturally didn't know that this was because Jun Xiaoyao had dealt with Mu Xuan.
And to some extent, he and Mu Xuan could both be considered individuals with great Luck.
"I think I should lay low for now, and go back to the village first."
Although Shi Tou was just an eight or nine-year-old mischievous child, he was actually quite rational.
After all, having Cultivated the Ten Thousand Spirit True Understanding, he was more precocious than his peers.
Though he still had the Heart-Nature of a mischievous child, he was ultimately more mature than his peers.
Next, Shi Tou also began his journey back to the village.
It just so happened that he had also received some Opportunity rewards from the Fengshen Stele, which he could digest back in the village.
After some time had passed.
Shi Tou also returned to the small mountain village.
"Uncle, Auntie, Xiao Hua, Village Chief, I'm back!"
"Oh, Shi Tou is back!"
"Shi Tou, have you made a name for yourself out there…"
Seeing Shi Tou return, all the men, women, old, and young in the entire village came out.
After all, they all loved Shi Tou very much.
Although he was a mischievous child and often caused chaos in the village.
But this did not affect everyone's affection for him.
"It's good you're back, it's good you're back…"
The old village chief also appeared, smiling cheerfully.
"Brother Shi Tou, is the outside world big? Also, are there Cultivators everywhere outside?"
A six or seven-year-old girl with pigtails tied up to the sky blinked her bright, watery eyes and asked curiously.
Her name was Xiao Hua, and she often followed Shi Tou around.
"Of course, the outside world is big."
Next, Shi Tou chatted happily with the villagers.
After several days of rest, Shi Tou entered the deep mountains.
He was going to begin refining the rewards he had received from the Fengshen Stele.
Although he hadn't topped the list and couldn't get the World Fragment.
The rewards were still extremely generous.
Shi Tou immersed himself in Cultivation.
But at a certain moment.
He suddenly heard some unusual movement in his ears.
"Hmm?"
Shi Tou's expression changed.
His figure shot out abruptly, leaping through the mountains.
He jumped onto a mountaintop, gazing at the distant mountain village.
A roaring sound was clearly heard.
Flames soared into the sky, and smoke billowed!
Shi Tou's expression instantly changed drastically, and he burst out like a cannonball!
And at this moment, the originally peaceful and harmonious small mountain village was also plunged into a sea of blood and fire.
"Hmph, such a Spiritual Qi treasure land, actually occupied by a group of Mortals, it's simply a waste of natural resources!"
A Cultivator riding an exotic beast beneath him snorted coldly.
This group of Cultivators had an unusual origin.
They were the Demon Wind Bandits, notorious marauders and bandits in the Ancestral Spirit Domain.
They frequently plundered small and medium-sized forces and sects, as well as many Loose Cultivators.
Because they never provoked those Immortal Forces, those Immortal Forces wouldn't bother with them.
This resulted in the Demon Wind Bandits' continued existence and growing prosperity.
Several of their leaders even possessed the strength of a Divine Venerable, or even a Dao Venerable.
Of course, they were called bandits, but in essence, they were almost equivalent to a medium-sized sect.
"My Lords, we Mortals live isolated from the world and never cause trouble."
"If my Lords truly need this land, could you please give us time to let the villagers relocate?"
The old village chief appeared, trembling, looking at the villagers who had already died, his heart aching.
"Give you time to relocate?"
One of the bandits sneered, then looked at the few Cultivators standing in the Void Realm.
The one in the center was the Third Leader of the Demon Wind Bandits, a Divine Venerable-level expert.
Hearing the old village chief's words, this Third Leader of the Demon Wind Bandits had an expression as cold as ice.
To be honest, if it were peacetime, he might truly not lay hands on these Mortals.
It wasn't that he was benevolent, but that he was too lazy to act; these Mortals were less than ants to him, mere dust that could be ignored.
However…
It was the command of that person.
But if he didn't comply.
Then it would be their Demon Wind Bandits who would be annihilated.
"No need to wait that long, leave no one alive." The Third Leader waved his hand.
The cruel slaughter began anew.
Those familiar villagers, one by one, fell into pools of blood.
These Demon Wind Bandits could even kill these Mortals with just a thought from their Divine Thought.
"Old man, you go too."
A bandit sneered, pointing a finger to kill the village chief.
However…
Boom!
The next moment.
A small figure directly stomped down from the sky, crushing the bandit's body!
"Shi… Shi Tou, why are you here?"
The village chief, who had closed his eyes, waiting for death, saw that figure and his face instantly changed drastically.
He had previously been relieved that Shi Tou was at least not in the village.
But he actually ran back himself!
Shi Tou looked at the burning village.
And those once kind uncles and aunties, now all lying in pools of blood.
Even Xiao Hua, who used to follow him around, was lying on the ground.
Shi Tou's mind reeled, his eyes splitting with rage!
"Ah ah ah ah ah, you all die for me!!!"
