Fan Wu surveyed the group and said, "This dry food is for emergencies; ration it, and it should be enough for one meal per person. As for the two guiding us to Shuize County, they will be given separate provisions. Two words, full meals."

"I only need those with strong and healthy bodies. Those who are as thin as sticks need not join in the fray. I also have no liking for those who, without a clear mind, join in solely out of greed."

Fan Wu’s calm tone managed to make the villagers of Dawu Village tremble with fear!

Some who had been eager to volunteer suddenly...

no longer dared to step forward.

"Me!" Suddenly, a man with reddened hands stood up; he was the one who had initially risked being cursed to death to explain the situation to Fan Wu and the others.

He spoke with a face full of determination, "Please let me guide you, Daoist Priest! I, Wu Heishan, promise not to falter halfway through! Don’t be fooled by my thin appearance, Daoist Priest; before the Earth Deity exploited Dawu Village, I was a hunter there."

Wu Heishan said, "If Daoist Priest needs a second person, I would recommend my brother—Wu Heishui! He used to go hunting in the mountains with me often, and though he’s also become skinny from starvation, he still has some strength left for the journey."

Wu Heishan could see that Fan Wu and the others were very capable and also seemed interested in meddling in the affairs of Shuize County.

He did not know whether this Daoist Priest or the Earth Deity of Shuize County had greater mana...

At this moment, he was ready to throw caution to the wind.

At worst...

it would be death!

If his worthless life gambled on the right outcome, then Dawu Village would no longer need to wander homeless; the villagers could return to Shuize County, to their familiar Dawu Village!

"Heishui, what are you dawdling for?" Wu Heishan called out to the crowd, "Come out, won’t you?!"

Soon, a relatively "sturdy" man stepped forward.

He bore a striking resemblance to Wu Heishan.

But he seemed more reserved and reticent.

"Daoist Priest, this is my brother," Wu Heishan took a deep breath and said, "We both know the way back to Shuize County."

"Hmm," Fan Wu nodded in satisfaction.

Although in his eyes the two brothers were still thin, even thinner than Yun Jiuqing, a woman,

compared to the other villagers of Dawu Village, they really were quite robust.

Without comparison...

there’s no hurt.

"Daoist Priest Fan, are you planning to confront the creature claiming to be the Earth Deity of Shuize County?" Yun Jiuqing asked in surprise, "Isn’t it too hasty to go now without preparation? Should we not return to Yinghe Prefecture first and request assistance from the imperial envoy there, so they can help us exterminate that creature?"

She too wished to eliminate the entity plaguing the common folk, but Yun Jiuqing felt... it shouldn’t be so rushed.

Perhaps consecutive near-death experiences had finally taught her, once recklessly intelligent, to be cautious.

"No need," Fan Wu replied, "Taking a detour back to Yinghe Prefecture would be too troublesome."

The main reason was, how could Fan Wu possibly allow the Imperial Ministry to snatch his kills?

Stealing his kills meant stealing his Free Attribute Points!

How could he endure that?!

"Amitabha!" Monk Zhi Kong solemnly said, "Please be sure to take this humble monk with you on this journey. This humble monk cannot allow such evil spirits to cause calamity under Buddha’s watch."

Yun Jiuqing was momentarily stupefied, "Really... is there really no need?"

Fan Wu glanced at her, "What do you think?"

"Hiss! No need! No need!" Yun Jiuqing sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, hastily correcting herself, "Why would we need the Imperial Ministry to deal with a tiny malefactor that troubles the people?"

"I believe that with Daoist Priest Fan alone."

"That would be more than enough!!!"

"..."

Ultimately, Fan Wu confirmed two people to lead the way—Wu Heishan from Dawu Village and his brother Wu Heishui.

At the same time, Monk Zhi Kong and Yun Jiuqing were still following him.

The group had grown to four people and one ox.

...

Time.

Passed.

In the blink of an eye, several days had gone by, and during these days, Fan Wu and the others were constantly on the move. The time they stopped to rest each day was minimal, so minimal that the legs of the Wu brothers had become numb!

If it weren’t for the fact that Fan Wu was indeed keeping them well-fed at every meal, they might have kicked the bucket on the third day of their journey.

Wu Heishan used a wooden stick as a cane, which allowed him to use both his hands and feet when walking, saving a bit of energy.

He felt his feet were almost numb.

He could barely feel their existence anymore.

"Heishui, can you still hold on?" Wu Heishan turned back to look at his younger brother, who was resolutely gritting his teeth.

Wu Heishui nodded heavily with a tensed face.

Indicating he could still hold on.

Wu Heishan sighed; he looked ahead at Fan Wu and was amazed in his heart... Over these days, he had come to know what these people were called, and he also realized that the rich "young master" was actually a woman!

He had even more realization... just how extraordinary the strength of these cultivators was!

Even the woman named Yun Jiuqing, who looked like she was on her last breath and exhausted every day, could keep going for a very long time if she really had to.

And that Monk Zhi Kong, who always looked gloomy, had never once complained of fatigue. Unless Daoist Priest Fan Wu suggested a rest, this monk would not rest on his own.

The most exaggerated was Daoist Priest Fan!

Wu Heishan had never seen a trace of tiredness on Fan Wu’s face, nor had he ever seen anyone with such terrifying stamina!

Especially yesterday when they passed a difficult terrain...

The Old Blue Ox couldn’t make it up.

Daoist Priest Fan actually lifted the ox that seemed to weigh over a thousand pounds with one hand!

My God! Things like Hercules lifting a cauldron are nothing compared to this!

That’s a thousand-pound old ox!

Not a chicken, duck, goose, or dog!

As Wu Heishan’s thoughts drifted, Fan Wu, who was leading the Old Blue Ox, suddenly stopped.

Yun Jiuqing’s voice was the first to ring out, "Eh? Daoist Priest Fan, what has happened?"

Following that.

Came Fan Wu’s voice, "Although it’s quite a distance away, the towering resentment and malevolent energy are still very conspicuous. With such a sky-piercing aura of resentment, that place should be Shuize County, right?"

"Resentment and malevolent energy?" Yun Jiuqing was startled and puzzled, "Is there any?"

"Amitabha, this monk also has not sensed it. But if Daoist Priest Fan says it’s there, it must be." Monk Zhi Kong said.

What on earth are these adults talking about?

Wu Heishan was confused. His gaze passed over Fan Wu and the others, looking straight ahead, and he was shocked, exclaiming, "Taoist Priest, it seems we are almost at Shuize County!"

"..."
