I Don't Want To Defy The Heavens

Chapter 460: Senior, Take Me In

It wasn’t without reason that Xue Zhong was baffled.

To him, the village chief was an expert who was living in secret. He wanted to be a normal person and cut off from the world. But now, he said that they were protected by the gods. action

What was going on?

What was going on???

The village chief could tell how confused he was and he smiled gently. He pointed at the statue at the center of the village, “That is our god: the Darkness Chief God. Our village has been worshipping him for generations and it allowed us to prosper. No, the chief god said that this village is called the City of Darkness.”

Xue Zhong saw something off from his face.

But regretfully, the chief was a maniacal believer and one could tell them he was a true believer.

Xue Jinrou said, “Chief, last night we were being hunted down by some people. Where did those people go?”

The chief said, “These people have left because of the god’s decree and will never appear again. Although the City of Darkness won’t give us a luxurious life, we can ensure safety.”

“It is late and I need to get busy. All of you can go take a look, this land isn’t small and we don’t have many villagers but we are all very friendly.”

After saying all that, the village chief smiled as he walked into the distance.

After he left, Xue Jinrou said in shock, “This place is so weird. Is it safe for us to stay here?”

“Although this place is weird, at least it is safe. If they have bad intentions towards us, they wouldn’t have cured us. We can only just stay here first.” Xue Zhong said. He thought about something and said with a vicious look on his face, “That damn Alliance.”

He could only say such things.

He didn’t know what else to say.

There were some things that they couldn’t go up against.

The servant by his side said, “Old Master, the fact that we are able to face such an expert here means that we have a great opportunity. If he can take Little Miss as a disciple, we will be able to strengthen our family. Taking revenge for your wife won’t be a problem either.”

Talking about his wife, Xue Zhong felt pain in his heart. Only a few of them managed to escape from the Xue Family while the rest all died terrible deaths.

But he was right; this was indeed a chance.

“Daughter, this is a good chance. If you can make him your Master, then our future will be changed.” Xue Zhong said.

Xue Jinrou found this situation really tough, “Father, but senior said that he is the village chief. It will be hard for me to make him my master.”

“Even if it is hard you must try. We can take a look around, and when it is night, then I will deal with the matter.” Xue Zhong said.

He wouldn’t give up on this chance.

If they missed it, then it would really not exist anymore.

The Xue Family slave was strong but he was only at God Essence Realm. He couldn’t even block a single Alliance move and one of his arms had been sliced off.

Shortly after, they were walking around the village and sizing up the area. The villagers were all really humble and when they saw them, they all smiled.

Xue Jinrou looked into the distance. There were two kids playing innocently with no worries at all.

One had to say that this was indeed an otherworldly paradise and it was hard for people to notice it.

Suddenly, she saw a kite in the sky. The kid wanted to grab it but because it was too tall, he had no chance and could only jump around on the ground.

She wanted to help.

But she saw a woman carrying a basket. When she saw the kite, she floated up to grab it.

Xue Jinrou looked on in disbelief and rubbed her eyes. She thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her.

What was going on?

That woman looked normal, so why did it look like she had flown up?

That night, Xue Zhong and the rest came to the chief’s house and knocked on the door, “Senior, are you asleep?”

Very quickly, the door was open from the inside. The chief asked curiously, “Why are you all looking for me?”

He felt that these people were really weird.

They called him senior right away.

But he was just an ordinary civilian. Although he was the chief, he wasn’t a senior?

“Senior, if you are free can you let us enter?” Xue Zhong asked.

“I am free, I am free, all of you can come in.” The chief was really confused and really didn’t understand what they were doing.

The room was realyl simple and he didn’t look like an elegant expert. There were many farming tools on the walls.

There weren’t any chess boards, tea equipment, and books like what an expert should have had.

Xue Zhong didn’t care about that, and instead felt more certain that he was an expert because he didn’t see any of those things.

This guy had to be an expert.

Moreover, he had to be a supreme expert. It was obvious that he had given up everything in the past to live here. They were also really lucky to meet such a person.

If his daughter could be his disciple, then in the future, she would bring glory to their family.

Putong!

*　　*

*　　Putong!*

Right as he was about to pour tea for them, he heard a sound. He turned his head and saw them kneeling down. He was shocked and went over to help them up.

“What are you all doing? Come up, come up.”

He was just a village chief. He really was just a normal person.

Now that a bunch of guests were kneeling in front of him, the old man was terrified.

Xue Zhong insisted on kneeling, “Senior, can you listen to me.”

The chief felt that if he didn’t let him speak, he would continue kneeling for a long time, “Speak.”

Xue Zhong didn’t hide anything and told him about their background. For example, how the Alliance invaded them and many of his family members were dead. They were the only ones left alive. The rest of them risked their lives to protect them.

The village chief was kind and when he heard all this he was so touched that he cried.

They lived here with no problems with the world. Last time, when the village had the pandemic, if it weren’t for the protection of the god, their entire village would have been wiped out. This was why he understood what he was feeling.

Xue Zhong saw the senior’s tears and felt like this senior was a sympathetic person.

“Senior, this is my daughter. I just hope that you can sympathize with our Xue Family and take my daughter as your disciple and teach her martial arts to give her a chance to bring back glory to our family.” Xue Zhong said emotionally and kowtowed.

The village chief didn’t know what to do.

Disciple?

This… What was the meaning of this?

“I am really just a normal chief and not a senior. Come up quickly.” The village chief said.

Xue Zhong shook his head, “Senior, if you don’t agree, then I will just kneel here. Please save my Xue Family and give us our last hope.”

The village chief said, “It isn’t that I don’t want to agree, but I am really just a normal person and not a senior.”

“Even if you let this brat be my disciple, I don’t have anything I can teach her.”

The situation became really complicated.

The chief wasn’t lying as he really was a normal person.

Xue Zhong and the others weren’t wrong either as the village chief was a really strong expert.

“Senior, I know that a hermit expert like you won’t randomly take in disciples, so you can test her.” Xue Zhong knew that it was a tough thing for such an expert to become a master.

But he believed that sincerity was the most important thing. As long as they were determined, they would be able to touch him.

“Senior, it is not early anymore, so we won’t disturb your sleep.”

Xue Zhong knew his place. It was already late at night and even if they wanted him to be her master, they had to let him rest. If he made the senior unhappy, then that would be a disaster.

The village chief looked at Xue Zhong and the others with a stunned expression.

His words didn’t change.

He was just a normal person and wasn’t their senior. Even if he took her as a disciple, he didn’t know what to teach her.

Of course, he couldn’t tell them what the secret to farming was.

“Senior, please rest early. Sorry for disturbing you.” Xue Zhong said before he helped the senior close the door.

Outside, a cold wind blew.

Xue Zhong said, “Daughter, this matter is not simple, but you must hold on. It is tough to meet such an expert, if you meet one, then you need to seize the chance. If you miss it, then it will be a huge waste; you might never meet one ever again.”

Xue Jinrou nodded, “Daughter understands.”

She understood the weight of the responsibility on her shoulders.

She was the only young person from the Xue Family, so all the pressure was on her.

“It is tough on you. Today, you shall kneel here to prove your determination. If one day doesn’t work, then two. Otherwise, kneel till he accepts you. I believe that your determination can touch him.” Xue Zhong said firmly.

It was tough to get a master but it was even tougher to get such an expert to be your master.

Xue Jinrou nodded her head. She knew that this was her only chance, so she knew what to do even without her father saying anything.

As for Xue Zhong and the rest, naturally, they went back to sleep.

They were too practical and it made one feel helpless.

The next day, the chief woke up early and when he opened the door and realized that there was someone kneeling there, she was stunned.

Why was there someone kneeling there for no reason?

The chief tried to explain, but no matter what, they didn’t believe him. He didn’t know what to say.

Xue Jinrou was certain that this was his test on her.

If she couldn’t persist through this test, then how did she have the right to be his disciple?

Each morning, the chief would lead the villagers to kneel and pray to the statue.

If Lin Fan was here, he could see endless amounts of faith, like the milky way, surging towards the depths of space.

Xue Zhong knew that his daughter knelt there for a night but since the senior didn’t agree, he knew that things weren’t as simple as he thought.

They had to continue working hard.

But he was really confused.

Who was the statue that senior was kneeling to?

Did it mean something?

“Old Master, this will be a long battle for Little Miss. To touch him, we must be sincere.” Xue Family old slave said.

Xue Zhong obviously understood and nodded his head, “I believe my daughter.”

The outsiders in the village didn’t change anything to them and the villagers just acted like everything was normal.

After a long while, the prayer ended.

The village chief carried his shovel and went to the farmland.

Since the god arrived, the chief felt that he was much stronger. He could jump really high and could even fly. When he hacked down with his shovel, a piece of land would disappear.

He knew that this was strength given to him by the god, so he tried to be careful to not cause much commotion.

Farmland.

The chief was swinging his tools and working hard. He was already used to it such that he felt uneasy if he didn’t do this.

Xue Jinrou looked on. She hoped that she would comprehend some techniques from analyzing senior’s actions.

She had heard of many stories.

For example, when the senior wanted to teach skills, he wouldn’t say it; he would only try to pass it on to you from simple actions, but you wouldn’t know that such actions would contain such shocking techniques.

Xue Zhong didn’t disturb the senior and just looked on silently.

After a long while, there was a loud explosion.

It felt like there was an earthquake.

A black figure appeared. Xue Zhong and the rest were really wary and thought that it was someone from the Alliance.

But shortly after, there was a sound from far away.

“Hello, village chief.”

The giant figure was actually a villager who carried a giant stone and flew over.

“What is this?” The village chief asked.

“Chief, I am planning to use this stone to carve some statues.” The man laughed. He didn’t feel that the stone was heavy. It was as if he wasn’t carrying anything at all.

Xue Zhong looked on with his mouth open wide.

This man was really young but he actually had such strength.

He really wanted to shout.

“Senior, you said that you wouldn’t teach disciples, so how do you explain this?”

At this moment, the chief’s position in their hearts climbed much higher.

If they only thought that the village chief was an expert, now he was an expert among experts.

The slave said in shock, “Chief, this young guy should be at Five Element Realm.”

“What?”

Xue Zhong’s eyes opened wide and it was as if he had seen a ghost.

Five Element Realm?

What kind of high realm was that? How shocking was his cultivation?

The key was that he was still really young. To reach such cultivation at such a young age was just unheard of.

“Daughter, you have to hold on, the future of the Xue Family really depends on you.”

Xue Zhong only had one thought which was to have him as is daughter’s master.

The chance to fly up like a phoenix was right here.

Noon.

The chief carried his shovel and walked back towards the village. He looked at the guests and said, “I know what you mean. Forget it, let me tell all of you. I didn’t cultivate myself but the god gave it to me.”

“It is the same for the other people in the city.”

The village chief thought about it and finally understood.

They knelt in front of him because they wanted him to take her as his disciple and for them to gain strength like his.

Since that was the case, then why not promote his god?

Xue Zhong listened on like he was serious, but in his heart, he didn’t believe what he was saying.

The chief didn’t care and continued, “Follow me, let me introduce to all of you.”

Village.

“This is the god that our village worships, the Darkness Chief God. It has been a period of time since he appeared but we are all able to have such strength because we believe in him. The god gave us strength so that we can live well.”

Xue Zhong looked at the chief and at the statue and then said with a weird expression, “Senior, this…”

Even after the chief said that, he still didn’t believe it.

Who was he trying to lie to? He hadn’t heard of anyone else getting such terrifying strength from believing in such a so-called god. Fake, it had to be fake. That was just not possible.

The chief looked at the statue respectfully and said, “I know you don’t believe but you can ask everyone else and they will tell you the same thing. If you want to obtain strength you can choose to let go of everything and believe in the Darkness Chief God along with us. When your sincerity reaches a certain level, then the god will give you strength too.”

Xue Zhong, “???”

Xue Family slave, “???”

Xue Jinrou was stunned too. He was totally confused by the chief’s words.

But in the end, all of them still looked towards the statue.

They then looked towards the chief. It was as if their eyes were asking questions.

Is this real?

*　　*

*　　Definitely.*

*　　*

*　　Okay, I shall believe you. But don’t lie to us.*

Xue Zhong might have really believed him because he didn’t think that the chief was a liar.

Martial Path Mountain.

“I didn’t expect an outsider to come to the village, that’s interesting.” Lin Fan knew about what happened to the village chief.

As long as there was faith, there was nothing that he didn’t know about.

What made Lin Fan laugh to death was that these people actually treated the chief as a senior and wanted him to be their master. One had to say that these people really had some ideas.

“Haiz, life is really interesting.”

Lin Fan had raised the level at which young people could reach too much.

In the past, people who could reach Grandmaster at 20 would be geniuses.

Now, even Five Element Realm ones were normal. As for Dao Realm, it might have become really ordinary in the future.

To raise the level so much alone, how would those top sect geniuses even survive in the future?

They had no hope anymore.

They should have just shouted and cheered on from the side.

The chief god system was decent and the fastest way to create experts.

As long as he continued improving, then the strength of those who believed in him would rise to terrifying levels. That was strength that people might not have gotten even if they risked their lives.

Today, Lin Fan wasn’t in a rush to expand his territory. Instead, he was prepared to take a look at the four alliances.

Who knew what the war was like? Were they fighting with their lives? That made him really curious.

The key was that he needed rage points to raise his cultivation.

Dao Realm Stage Three was strong.

But he wanted to crush all of them and not fight toe to toe. To him, that was just really embarrassing.
