The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

"Are you ready for battle?"

World War I

The sound pierced through the canyon and echoed over the village.

"Boss, there's one more thing we haven't had a chance to say yet!"

The two men who had been sent to Yanjiacun stood up, their faces showing obvious fear.

"Speak quickly, and then immediately tell everyone in the village to hide in their houses and not come out." The eldest brother stopped in his tracks. "Alright, second brother, you go and make the arrangements!"

Back in the village, the two brothers addressed each other more casually.

The second brother nodded solemnly, "Big brother, don't be reckless. This senior's enemy is definitely not an unknown person. Although our skills are not bad, we are still far from the top masters. If it really comes down to it, we can take the brothers and start anew, and abandon this place."

"Go and make arrangements quickly; things may not get that bad. If something unexpected happens, leave through the secret passage. Don't take any of Curry's things with you; escaping is the priority."

The second brother paused, "You don't want anything? How are we going to feed this group of people?"

The warehouse in Changji Village is very well hidden; only the eldest sons of the family in the village know about it.

If they don't want anything, then they're no different from starting from scratch.

"At worst, we can rob a few more merchant ships. You go and have the brothers hide in the secret passages, and the rest of you can hide in the houses."

The eldest brother made the decision: those old and weak people are better off without them.

The two brothers are unmarried, which is relatively simple for them. But it's not so easy to arrange for brothers with families to support.

“Make it sound smooth, don’t let the brothers find out anything’s wrong. Find a good excuse,” the leader said, glancing at the two men. “You two, keep what I’m saying to yourselves, don’t tell anyone.”

"Yes! We brothers are all alone, with no burdens. If it weren't for the chief taking us in, we would have been wiped out long ago."

The two repeatedly assured each other, their bodies drenched in cold sweat, feeling a chill that seemed to seep into their bones even in June.

"Alright, tell me quickly! What happened in Yanjia Village this time?"

"All ten brothers who went with us are gone! The people of Yan Family Village are not simple. Almost every adult male there has some skill. Especially that clan chief, who looks like he's about to die, but he's actually a master. Every brother of mine died at his hands."

If the brothers hadn't reacted quickly and taken pulse-expanding pills to speed up their escape, they probably would have lost their lives in Yanjiacun.

"It seems that not only Yan Family Village is strange, but the people there are also extraordinary. Why haven't we heard of them in the martial arts world?" The eldest brother was somewhat doubtful.

"That place seemed different from the outside world, as if it were being suppressed by something." The two brothers who had survived countless near-death experiences were named Wang Xia and Wang Xin, and they were full brothers from the same mother.

They are not twins, but they work together seamlessly.

They had their own guesses that the Yan clan chief hadn't come after them.

It seems that it won't be easy for the Yan family to leave that place.

"You will go to assist the second-in-command. This news is very important. From now on, you will work alongside the second-in-command."

Wang Xia and Wang Xin agreed repeatedly.

The eldest brother hurriedly went to the room where Han Cuiyin was being held.

"Senior, please have mercy!"

Han Cuiyin's neck was tightly locked by the man in black. Just as she couldn't help but retaliate, the boss arrived.

The man in black loosened his grip, and Han Cuiyin fell to the ground, coughing violently and gasping for breath.

She could smell the faint scent emanating from this man. She was surprised that he had survived and ended up here.

Han Cuiyin was also surprised to run into an "old acquaintance".

In the final battle of the Immortal Realm, she used a heavenly tribulation to perish together with this person.

Unexpectedly, I failed at the last moment.

The aura of the man in black was that of Lian Yao from the Realm of Immortality.

Back in the Realm of Immortality, more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators failed to defeat him.

Only when her master threatened her with his life did Han Cuiyin finally give up her own life.

The Fairy of Sound, Emerald Rakshasa, sympathizes with the weak and hates evil.

Is she a meritorious cultivator or a murderous maniac in the eyes of the demonic path?

Originally, he decided to be selfish in the world of immortality until the end of time, but he sacrificed himself because Lian Yao was reborn and destroyed the world.

As she closed her eyes and self-destructed, she thought that if heaven took pity on her and gave her another chance to reincarnate, she would always consider her own future.

Fortunately, she was given another life, a life she was somewhat familiar with.

The moment she woke up in Yanjiacun, she had already made up her mind: even if the sky were to fall, there would always be someone tall enough to hold it up.

She will never take the initiative to attack unless you provoke her.

However, this world is different from what she knew in her previous life; there are experts at the Innate Realm here.

There is no spiritual energy here. Some people enter the Dao through martial arts and break through to the Innate Realm, which is equivalent to the Qi Refining stage.

The man in black before her was clearly a long-time expert at the Innate Realm; she was no match for him.

Lian Yao, that great demon, is quite lucky to have obtained such a body.

Han Cuiyin placed her hand on the small yellow ball; if anything went wrong, she would have to run for her life.

In just a short while, she had already mentally calculated several methods.

"Why?" the leader pleaded, begging for mercy. The man in black looked displeased. "If you can't give me a straight answer, your Changji Village... heh heh~"

The unspoken implication is entirely a threat.

The eldest brother's expression changed several times before he finally explained:

“Senior, this woman’s name is Yang Cuiyin, and she comes from Yan Family Village. This time I sent someone to Yan Family Village to find what you mentioned... It would be better to keep this dark-skinned girl alive and use her to threaten Yan Family Village. If Yan Family Village doesn’t care about her life or death, it’s not too late to kill her then.”

His expression flickered, which Lianyao didn't notice, but Han Cuiyin saw it clearly.

“Boss, Yanjiacun is just an ordinary little village in the Pinglian Mountains. I’ve lived there for over ten years and never paid attention to what you’re talking about.”

"Also, you keep saying that Yan Family Village is special and want this senior in black to go and check it out. I wonder what your intentions are. Could it be that you've set up an ambush there?"

Han Cuiyin got more and more excited as she spoke, "Senior, you must be careful. This leader has plundered countless merchant ships and is very cunning."

"You...you little brat, you're not only black-faced but also black-hearted. You were just pretending before. You're so bold, faking seasickness on the ship. Senior, we've treated you so well—"

"Alright, that's enough. I'll settle the score with you later! If you're still alive~" Lian Yao grinned sinisterly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and his breath was foul.

Han Cuiyin quickly lowered her head, held her breath, and stopped talking. With that aggrieved look on her face, the boss thought she had done something wrong.

Lianyao vanished from their sight in an instant.

"You dark-skinned girl, trying to use someone else to do your dirty work in front of your seniors, your intentions are too vicious. If it weren't for me, you would be dead already." The leader gritted his teeth in hatred. "Aren't you coming with us? What good will this dilapidated house do if those two start fighting!"

Upon hearing this, Han Cuiyin quietly lowered her hand. "I'm not leaving! Get out before I change my mind."

"You ungrateful wretch, you can stay or not—"

A loud "BOOM!" drew the leader's attention. "Whether you survive or not depends on your fate!"

After saying that, the leader ignored her and flew away.

Han Cuiyin opened the window, and the mountain peaks opposite her had no summits.

"They actually fought like this! Can the world withstand this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a person dressed in khaki clothes, holding a long sword and with flowing white hair, used his body as a sword and charged straight at Lianyao.
