Chapter 1505 : 20.69 First Black Star - I Hate Noise.
While the capital and the imperial family were heading straight to hell thanks to An Ziwei, who had indulged in lust, the cultivators from the floating island, on the other hand, were dumbfounded. They finally found the last deity that lives in the borderlands. It's just that they didn't expect that the two Divine Ones found first were his subordinates.
The ones who discovered the identity of the last deity were Gou Roulan and Shi Mengli. It was during the first time the Chief Warden brought the Holy Son of the Profound Sect to the borderlands, Anjia's Village. They flew over the public market that day without fear of anyone seeing them.
After the Sect Elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect returned, the identity of the second Divine One had spread in the floating island, especially among the disciples out of the sect for mission. Thus, most of the righteous and evil cultivators knew that the Great General of the South fortress was a divinity.
But who would have thought that this divine one would appear in the borderlands one day? The chief warden didn't hide his aura and was noticed by all cultivators in the borderlands; this includes Gou Roulan and Shi Mengli.
Market Area's Residential Region.
At the rented mansion of Gou Roulan and Shi Mengli, they just finished reporting to the Heavenly Sword Sect about their discovery. They reported about the arrival of the Great General to Anjia Village as well as the existence of the Holy Son from the Profound Sect, An Juejing.
According to their reports, they come to meet the only noble who lives in a small and broken village like Anjia Village. Even so, the said small village had changed a lot. The hunters not only learned farming but also learned how to gain the upper hand against the merchants coming to buy their products. Of course, some evil merchants tried to trick them.
These bad merchants ended up being beaten by the strong hunters in the village.
Some officials tried to take over the Anjia Village and make it their own. Unfortunately, the whole village was bought by Wang Xiajie to the noble, who owned the territory with lots of goals. A restriction spell was even placed on this noble; he was to never go against Wang Xiajie.
This noble actually lost all his intentions to go against Wang Xiajie after showing the token of a duchy under his mother's name. This is a legal nobility that is almost equal to the human emperor. This was something his father had made for his mother to give her a noble background and openly marry her as his empress.
It is just that after the previous emperor died that this noble position was forgotten yet kept in the minds of the old nobles.
Coincidentally, the noble who owned the territory, including the Anjia Village, was one of the oldest nobles. He immediately recognizes Wang Xiajie as a royal descendant; thus, he truly has no intention of going against this person.
Those small nobles who tried to poke at the Anjia Village all ended up jailed with all their corruption and sin laid for the public to see, and they were stripped of their noble status and became slaves. Ever since this incident, no nobles have tried to lay a hand on the smallest village in the borderlands.
Shi Mengli said, "Senior Sister, is it alright for us to report about the existence of the Divine One at the Anjia Village? What if he learned that it was us who reported him? I... I don't want to die young." .com
"Don't worry. With the Divine One in the south as a precedent, the sects wouldn't openly make a move against this Divine One, especially after knowing that this divinity in the borderlands is stronger than the ones in the capital or the south," Gou Roulan said.
What they didn't know was that it wasn't only the Divine One they needed to look after. The lit room they were in had suddenly turned dimmed as if being enclosed by something. Gou Roulan instantly felt something unknown was targeting them. She pulled Shi Mengli closer to herself in protection while the young lady was bewildered by her senior sister's sudden actions.
Seeing her senior sister holding on to her sword and looking around made her realize that something she didn't notice was happening at that moment. Only Gou Roulan felt the fear as if the shadows around them were alive. With the two of them stuck in the middle, Gou Roulan could only speak with one, causing all these.
Gou Roulan spoke out of nowhere. "I wonder who this lord is that came to visit our humble abode. Will you please tell us if we have offended you in any way?"
A voice responded to Gou Roulan's query. The tone of this voice is cold yet has a hint of playfulness. The owner of the voice is a man, and just based on its tone, it seems to be at least in his thirties. This voice had hints of allure as well as if meeting a devil that wanted to lure one to fall into their desires.
{This is a surprise. To think there would be a cultivator from the righteous side that isn't as arrogant as this lord knows. Even so, you shouldn't have called those trashers to come to this place. This lord hates noise, after all, ~} said the voice that responded to Gou Roulan's question.
The moment Gou Roulan and Shi Mengli heard the voice calling the cultivators from the floating island 'trashes' meant this being must be someone from the opposite faction as theirs and felt increasing danger in their hearts. They felt gloomy thinking that they were caught by someone from the evil faction.
Gou Roulan asked, "Is the exalted one someone that had connection with the evil faction? If so, can I wish to die without pain?"
{What a realistic person. Very well, I shall grant you death devoid of physical pain.}
The shadow around Gou Yura and Shi Mengli moves and engulfs them in the darkness. They were corrupted by the darkness, and an agonizing pain that moved throughout their soul spread all over their whole being. They kept on screaming for help; unfortunately, inside the darkness, no one else could hear their pleas.
AHHH~ ARGHHH!
A pair of silver eyes stare at the scene of two ladies writhing in pain. This pair of eyes narrowed in mirth as his voice once again resounded in the area.
{As promised, I tortured you without harming your soul and focused on destroying your soul instead. I'm kind, aren't I? Hehe~}
It took only a few hours before Gou Roulan and Shi Mengli died in pain with their eyes bloodshot in pain and were unable to close them even in the last moments of their lives. It was the next morning when the hired servants of the two ladies had come to the mansion to clean and cook that their bodies were found.
In the people of the Xiejing Province, these two ladies were just noble ladies from a big and wealthy family. For them to suddenly die made those who knew them a bit sad. Even so, no one truly mourns for them after all; they detached themselves from mortals as they felt that they, as cultivators, were not meant to be too involved with material things.
The next morning, a few villagers who came over to the mansion to pay their rent told Wang Xiajie about the accident that happened in the residential area.
A villager said, "Xiao Wang, you should be careful when you go to the public market next time. I heard a murderer was out there and killed two young ladies living in the residential area. No one knows if they are targeting the rich as nothing among the things of the two ladies had gone missing."
"Ladies? Grandma doesn't mean the two sisters who rented a mansion in the province," asked Wang Xiajie.
The grandma villager said, "You know those two? It's them. There were no injuries found on their bodies, but their eyes were bloodshot as if they were in great pain when they died. How scary!"
"I will keep Grandma Yi's words in mind. Thankfully, I have no plans on going to the market recently. I have recorded your payment, Grandma Yi; keep this receipt as proof of your payment on this year's rent," said Wang Xiajie as he gave the old lady a written receipt for the payment of the rent of the farmland under Grandma Yi's family, which was under his name as an owner of the land.
The old lady happily accepted the receipt and noticed that the payment for their rented farmland is considered paid for the whole year.
Grandma Yi happily said, "Once Grandma Yi's cabbage is harvested, I will make some pickle cabbages for you."
"That will be a delight. I will wait for it. Be careful on your way home, Grandma Yi," said Wang Xiajie.
Grandma Yi wore her star hat and walked back to her home with the receipt hidden in her clothes. Once the old lady disappeared in Wang Xiajie's line of sight, he closed the gates of his place and looked at the holy son roasting some yellow corn over fire. He stared at the young man, which made the latter unable to ignore his gaze.
Holy Son An Juejing said, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't do it. I was home all day yesterday. Moreover, I will not touch anyone in this village as well as those in the clinic in the province."
Sigh~
"Don't get caught. It will be a pain to explain," said Wang Xiajie as he took over the job of roasting corn over fire.
The Holy Son looked at him as if observing him. Seeing that there is no fear or disgust in the man's eyes, the other soul in this holy son turns silent. He is used to people fearing him, especially after killing people. However, this man showed no reaction of disgust upon learning of the deaths of people in his surroundings.
Wang Xiajie noticed him staring and said, "I had no intention of putting the whole Xiejing Province under my protection. I'm not that weird. Just don't move those who are under my wings, and you can kill as much as you want. This lord will not care."
The holy son suddenly laughed, "Hahaha~ aren't you a God? You truly don't mind the death of those mortals?"
"Even the cultivators are split into two factions; what makes you think that gods aren't?" retorted the God of Void.
The Holy Son was dumbfounded for a moment and realized the meaning of Wang Xiajie's words and once again laughed.
"Haha~ don't tell me you're a Demonic God. That'll be hilarious! Seeing how much those fools on the floating island wanted to revere you," said the holy son of the Profound Sect.
Wang Xiajie retorted, "I am an evil god. Not some half-ass demons."
