The bishop continued to beg for the strange phenomenon to stop. “Please be magnanimous, oh Great One, and let us go. We just came here by chance from Martial Soul Continent and took a rest at Sand Eagle Tribe.
“It was there that I heard people talk about how Stone Village slaughtered the residents of other villages just to have the entire share of Suan Ni’s blood essence.”
He paused to swallow nervously. “They told us to come here but we didn’t know the whole story. Now, I think it’s just a farce. If you let us go, we will capture and hand over the people who slandered you and Stone Village!”
“And what about you wanting to kill us?” asked the village chief.
He had already sensed their purpose when the Outsiders first arrived at their doorstep. “We had just arrived at the desolate mountain forest a few days ago when we happened to meet someone from Wolf Village meeting Sand Eagle Tribe. They must have manipulated us to act in this way.”
“Wolf Village?” The chief frowned.
“Yes, the man from Wolf Village said so. But if you forgive us, we will head over to Wolf Village to capture them right now.” The bishop spoke quickly, hoping to make up for this matter.
Although the dark clouds were dense, they were not raging with as much thunder and lightning as before. Something must be working.
“Tell me everything and do not leave out a single detail. Who are you? How did you come here? What is your purpose? And please be honest or you can give up thinking about leaving this place alive.” It was Huang Feijiao that spoke instead of the village chief.
Shi Hao also nodded in agreement.
The strange phenomenon gradually faded away – the vegetation that had grown wantonly gradually returned to normal; the fierce wind blew weaker before dissipating; the torrential downpour suddenly stopped, turning into wisps of dense mist that hung in the air; and the terrifying Qi flow that surrounded Stone Village gradually faded away. Everyone could finally breathe easy.
Rays of sunlight finally broke through the dark clouds and the blue sky finally appeared in patches.
Even so, the bishop and the others were still afraid, if not even more so. This was the first time they had ‘met’ such a powerful expert.
And because of this, the bishop respected him even more.
“Thank you for your forgiveness. Martial Soul Hall will kneel to you in thanks. If we are lucky enough to return to Martial Soul Continent, we will be able to help you make a name for yourself there.”
And then, Ye Yun woke up from his meditative state.
It felt like he had just woken up from a big dream that had been deeply imprinted in his mind and couldn’t be erased.
He only remembered what happened before he entered his meditative state. So he was a little dumbfounded when he heard the bishop speak.
“What’s going on? Martial Soul Hall? Did I hear wrongly?” But wasn’t Martial Soul Hall from Douluo Continent?
Before he could think about it any further, the system came about.
[Beep, beep. There has been a change in your check-in location. Do you wish to check in?]
[Beep, beep. There has been a change in your check-in location. Do you wish to check in?]
[Beep, beep. There has been a change in your check-in location. Do you wish to check in?]
…
“Enough! You can stop prompting me now. I’ll check the messages myself. You’re making my head hurt.” Ye Yun was about to go crazy from the persistent beeps.
He did not expect that he would be able to pass the Three Thousand Conscience tribulations just by thinking for a moment during the rainy night.
Even though it had only been a few days since he closed his eyes, the Three Thousand Conscience tribulations during the meditation period made him feel like it more time than that had passed.
It was not easy for him to wake up from his meditation. But before he could stretch and relax, he heard a group of people mention Martial Soul Hall. And before his brain could react, the system popped up the string of notifications annoyingly.
“Wait, what happened during my meditation? Who are these unfamiliar people at Stone Village? Did I hear wrongly before? Are they from Martial Soul Hall? They can’t be from Douluo Continent, right? But why did they mention Martial Soul Continent?”
Ye Yun looked at his surroundings in confusion and immediately used his Divine Sense to explore further. The Stone Village that he saw was no longer as clean and peaceful as it once was. It now looked like a mess, as if it had been robbed.
The stone-piled houses were on the verge of collapse. Things were scattered on the ground in a mess. The vegetation was so lush that it almost seemed like the village had been abandoned for years.
Upon a closer look at the ground, there was a thick layer of dust.
“Gosh, what happened?” Ye Yun then looked at the empty land outside Stone Village.
His confusion grew more and more, but no one could respond to him.
After a while, Ye Yun suddenly had thought. Still confused, he asked, “System, could it be that this was all caused by me?”
The system did not reply.
Ye Yun helplessly called out to the system, “Hey, you should at least respond when spoken to. I don’t know what happened.”
[Beep beep, system malfunction.]
The system noted its mistake to itself and Ye Yun could not help but laugh. “I didn’t expect you to have such a bad temper like a child. Tell me about the situation.”
The system still didn’t reply.
Ye Yun gave up and didn’t bother to continue asking the system anymore. He decided to figure it out himself.
The bishop and the rest of the Outsiders started to explain themselves to the residents of Stone Village.
Ye Yun looked on with great interest, currently disinterested in his recent rewards.
“This group of people has been kneeling on the ground. Could it be that the people of Stone Village defeated them by force?” Ye Yun couldn’t help but mutter.
Little did he know that neither party had made any moves on each other, and had been at a standstill the entire time because of the strange phenomenon caused by his meditative state.
Eventually, he started to imagine what had happened based on what he had seen – the impact of the battle was what had caused the mess in the village.
But had the people of Stone Village always been so powerful?
He could not help but think about it.
[Beep beep, please do not belittle yourself, dear host! ] The system seemed to have heard Ye Yun’s thoughts and suddenly interrupted him.
He sneered back. “Just a second ago, you told me that the system had malfunctioned. So now you’re better already? All of a sudden?”
The system did not reply, seemingly still angry.
But Ye Yun knew what the system was trying to say.
It was his meditative state that had caused all of this. This made him speechless.
However, why were the people of Martial Soul Hall kneeling? Could it be that the abilities of the people of Stone Village were off the charts? If that was true, then the Outsiders were real trash..
