Martial God Sect''s Domain, Grey Wolf Vige
The Martial God Sect''s Domain and the Supreme Sword Dao Sect were separated by arge forest. Right before therge forest which served as a border between the two great sects, stood a huge mountain known as the Grey Wolf Mountain.
It was named that way because of therge number of Wolf that lived on top of the mountain. At the foot of the Wolf Mountain sprawled a vige also named Grey Wolf Vige.
All the houses in that vige were clustered together or stood close together, and it looked like a whole. Surrounding the Grey Wolf Vige was a huge wall built of wooden barriers and fences.
With the protection of these wooden barriers and fences, the wolves from the mountain couldn''t easily enter the vige to eat people.
The Grey Wolf vige was self-sufficient. The people of that vige were all hunters. They made their living by hunting the wild Grey wolves in the mountain, and the prey that they brought back would be distributed ording to the contribution of each family in the vige. Furthermore, they would also sell the furs and meat of the wolves to the nearby cities and towns to buy other necessities.
At this moment, within an abandoned and dpidated hut in the outskirt of the vige, Ling Chen sat on the wooden chair while looking at the little baby that was soundly sleeping on the floor next to him with an anxious look on his face.
As there wasn''t any bed in the abandoned house, Ling Chen had to use his clothes to make a bed for the baby to sleep after he had brought him out from the void within his lower-dantian to the real world.
The little baby looked so adorable and innocent. He was soundly sleeping without a care in the world in his new made-up bed. For some unknown reason, Ling Chen wanted to be the best version himself for the baby and was ready to give him everything he never had
It''s already been a day since Ling Chen had brought the unconscious baby out of his lower-dantian and he still hasn''t woken up.
As for the dark lightning shadow, he had somehow merged with the baby before he had brought him out along with the long dark spear.
Nheless, Ling Chen didn''t get freak out because he knew that the baby was alright and was just sleeping due to his profound connection with him.
At this moment, the thing that preupied him the most was how to take care of that baby. He didn''t know the first thing about taking care of a baby. Hell, he was a baby himself.
He''s only ten years and a half, and yet he was already a father. The baby was born out of the dark tree which was within his sea of consciousness, so technically, he was the baby''s only parent.
To make matter worse, this baby wasn''t a regr human baby. As such, Ling Chen had no idea if the baby would need to drink milk like a regr human baby and also eat the same food as a regr human baby.
And even if he did, he was a little child. How the heck would he be able to produce milk to feed the baby?
At this moment, Ling Chen''s mind was inplete chaos because he had no idea what to do when the baby wakes up. What if he starts crying?. He had a million questions in his head and no answers. He might have the wisdom of an adult, but at the end of the day, he was still a ten years old child.
Aside from that, there''s the case about Fang Lan and Hu''er which needed his immediate attention. However, with the sudden appearance of the baby, he couldn''t move and acted as he wanted to.
While Ling Chen was still racking his brain about how to take care of the baby as well as rescuing Fang Lan and Hu''er at the same time.
Suddenly——
The earth shook as if there was an earthquake.
"The ck Eagle Bandits havee to collect the annual tribute" A loud and anxious voice suddenly rang out within the whole vige.
"Bandits." Ling Chen murmured with a surprised expression on his face as he released his powerful spiritual sense and scanned the whole vige as well as the surroundings.
No one in the vige knew that Ling Chen had taken refuge in their vige. When he first came to the vige, it was night time. After scanning the entire vige with his spiritual sense, he had found this dpidated hut that no one ever visited and stayed there. Since then, he hadn''t left this ce. As such, no one was aware of his presence.
At this moment, Ling Chen could see the whole grey wolf vige, regardless of age or gender, were rushing out with weapons in hand towards the entrance of the vige.
"Hello, people of grey wolf vige." A booming shout came from outside the fence.
With his spiritual sense, Ling Chen could see everything that was going on outside. The so-called ck Eagle bandits group were about three hundred people and they all rode tall horses.
The leader of the group was a bare chest middle-aged man who was at the peak of the Martial Master realm. He had plenty of scars all on his upper body as well as one on his face which made him looked quite scary.
" Vige Chief Lui, you already know the drill. It''s time to deliver your annual tribute. ording to the old rules, one copper coin per person." Shouted the leader again.
Though the people of the Grey Wolf vige were surrounded by a group of bandits, they didn''t seem to be afraid at all. Also, ording to the leader''s statement, one could tell that this kinda thing happened annually.
At this time——
The crowd in the Grey Wolf Vige divided into a path, and a white-haired but sturdy old man walked past.
The vige chief was named Lui Bu and he held the absolute prestige in the Grey Wolf Vige
"Vige chief," Shouted the crowd in unison. Though the vige chief was old, he was the strongest person in the vige with ate-stage Master realm cultivation base.
"Ha-ha, Vige chief. Long time no see, you already know the deal. Hurry and pay up, we still have five more viges to visit." Said the leader with a loud vulgarugh.
"It''s actually the second leader of the ck eagle bandits group." Answer the chief with an amiable smile on his face. It was as though the two of them were best friends." We were expecting you guys. Our vige now has 752, so it''s 752 copper coins. Am I right?"
" Haha, Old man Lui, you''re right! It''s indeed 752 copper coins." The second leader said whileughing.
The poption of the vige was obviously not 752 people, it was a little more than that. It was 812 in total. Nheless, the second leader also didn''t seem to mind.
Not to mention he didn''t have the time to count every single person in the vige, there''s more vige waiting for him to collect the annual tax.
Furthermore, they didn''t want to attract the attention of the authorities by massacring the entire vige just for a few dozens of bronze coins nor killing their goose.
"Open the gate," The chief shouted.
"Creak…" The main gate of the Vige was opened with a loud bang. Simultaneously, a man holding arge bag went directly to the gate, then threw it out in front of the bandits and quickly went back.
"Please count, Second Leader. There are 752 copper coins in that bag," Shouted the vige chief.
"Go count," The leader ordered two of his subordinates.
Two men jumped off their horses immediately and ran to open the bag. The two bandits apparently did this often, as they were very skillful. After just a moment, they had finished counting the money in the bag. They then turned back to the second leader and nodded.
" Hahaha, Chief Lui is indeed trustworthy. Boys, what do we say to our benefactor."
" Thank you for your patronage Chief Lui." shouted out the 300 hundred bandits in unison. Also, there was a hint of sarcasm in their voice.
"Chief Lui, you can go back and have your dinner. See you again next year. Haha, let''s go, boys!"
Ah...ah.....ah...ah.....ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
However, right before they were about to leave, the loud cry of a baby suddenly rang out somewhere within the vige.
"How dare you wake up my child, you bastards."
Right after that, a powerful, angry, and childish voice rushed out from somewhere within the Vige as well. The voice struck out like thunder from the sky, everyone heard the resonating outrage. Just these words alone startled everyone here.
Swoosh!
At the same time, a powerful spiritual pressure spread out throughout the whole vige, pressuring both the bandits and the vigers, rendering them immobile.
Bang!
After that, an explosive sound could be heard. Everyone could see the roof of one of the abandoned and dpidated houses within the vige exploded as a person flew out of it.
