The fat and thin cultivators looked at each other and the fat cultivator said wretchedly.
"I didn't expect the village chief of such a big village to be a woman. She's really not inferior to men!"
These fat and thin cultivators looked to be in their early forties. The two of them added up were only the same age as Ling Yao. In Ling Yao's eyes, these two people were her grandchildren.
Hence, Ling Yao could roughly guess what these two guys were thinking.
Either these two bastards had taken a fancy to his people, or they had spied on the spiritual energy in the village. In short, although they were from the Divine Martial Sect, they were not good people.
Ling Yao controlled her emotions and smiled at the two cultivators.
"So the two of you are cultivators from the Divine Martial Sect. I'm sorry for my disrespect. It's our Divine Tree Village's honor to have a cultivator from the Divine Martial Sect as a guest. I'll get someone to prepare a room for the two of you to rest in the Divine Tree Village."
The fat cultivator walked in front of Ling Yao with a lecherous smile.
"You have to prepare good food and accommodation for us. Of course, we're new here and have traveled thousands of miles. We've been holding it in for a long time. Village Chief, why don't you choose a few beauties for us?"
The skinny cultivator also came over.
"That's right, that's right. Village Chief, find us a few more women to accompany us. Of course, the two of us think you're not bad. If there's really no one, you can accompany us for a night!"
When the other villagers heard these two people's filthy words, they were instantly enraged. They were stopped by Ling Yao's gaze, telling them not to be rash and calm.
However, there were still villagers who were dissatisfied and could not help but curse softly.
"What big sect? I think these two are clearly bandits and hooligans!"
Although the two cultivators' cultivation realms were not high, they still had this level of hearing.
When the two of them heard that someone was unhappy, they immediately turned around and scolded angrily.
"Yo, you're quite bold. Don't you know that the two of us are from the Divine Martial Sect? You bunch of bumpkins dare to go against my Divine Martial Sect? Do you believe that I'll report to the Sect Master to exterminate your entire village when I get back!"
The villager who was cursing was not afraid when he saw that someone had heard him. He immediately stood up and rolled up his sleeves.
"Who cares about your Divine Martial Sect? How powerful can they be if they can even take in people like you? Today, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Just as the situation was about to get out of hand, Ling Yao shouted.
"Shut up! You, back off!"
Ling Yao had extremely high prestige in the village and had always been a man of her word. That villager's anger was immediately scolded back by Ling Yao and he did not dare to reply. He could only retreat resentfully.
Then, Ling Yao put on a smile and looked at the fat and thin cultivators.
"Cultivators, don't lower yourself to the level of the villagers. Don't you want me to drink with you? It's simple. Please follow me!"
As Ling Yao spoke, she left first and returned to her room.
The fat and thin cultivators looked at each other and were overjoyed. It seemed that this little girl was pretending to be innocent just now.
The two of them impatiently rushed into the house. In the end, the slightly thinner cultivator rushed into the house first because of his advantage in size. Then, he was greeted by a finger.
This finger attack was extremely pure. The thick and scorching spiritual power instantly fell on the gunpowder like sparks, instantly igniting the cultivator's entire body. It was like a short-lived flame that was instantly extinguished, leaving only black ashes on the ground.
The fat cultivator only felt his eyes light up. Then, he looked at his friend who was at the same realm as him. He actually died for no reason! He was so frightened that he cried out. Only then did he realize that the young village chief in front of him was actually an expert who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger.
The fatty turned around and wanted to run. He wanted to rush out and hold the two villagers hostage so that Ling Yao would hold back. Unfortunately, he lost his life the moment he turned around.
This fatty was pierced through by Ling Yao's sharpness and instantly turned into countless tiny pieces of minced meat, scattering all over the ground.
Ling Yao frowned in disgust. If she had known earlier, she would have burned this fatty to ashes just like how she killed that thin man.
"Pack up. Everyone, try not to leave the village as much as possible. Keep your mouths shut and don't leak it to the outside world."
The villagers in the village were very obedient to Ling Yao. Moreover, these two people were too much. They teased the village chief the moment they entered the village. Who could tolerate this?
The next day, Ling Yao went up the mountain and explained everything to Gu Xiao.
When Gu Xiao heard this, he was still very surprised. After all, Liu Yang had just stabilized his position in the Divine Martial Sect during this period of time, and the people from the Divine Martial Sect had already come looking for him. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
However, what surprised Gu Xiao even more was that the cultivators of the Divine Martial Sect were higher than ordinary disciples, but this was all they had?
"Well done. However, won't the Divine Martial Sect come looking for us now that two cultivators have died?"
Ling Yao said, "Lord Divine Tree, don't worry. Those two cultivators must have come here for the treasures that have recently appeared. If the two of them die, the Divine Martial Sect will only suspect that they either died in the ruins because they were inferior to others or died in the hands of other sects. They won't suspect us."
Hearing Ling Yao's words, Gu Xiao was relieved.
However, Gu Xiao also lamented that the cultivators outside had really hidden their strength well. It was a pity that they were pretending to be weak and would eventually fail.
Indeed, as Ling Yao had said, the Divine Martial Sect did not come looking for them in the next year even though two cultivators had disappeared.
It seemed that if these two people were gone, so be it. As for how lively the ruins were, because Ling Yao and Gu Xiao had both ordered to keep a low profile, the news was not that well-informed.
The peaceful days continued until the next spring. Ling Yao brought good news to Gu Xiao.
Another disciple had broken through to the Connate Realm!
To be able to break through to the Connate Realm before the age of twenty, this kind of talent could be said to be abnormally strong. In the entire village, before this, only Liu Yang had reached the Connate Realm.
And now, the village had welcomed a second Connate expert. If it was an ordinary sect at this age, they would treat him like a treasure. No matter what, he had to be the next sect master. The sect master had to be at least an elder candidate.
There were two such disciples in the Divine Tree Village now. Their future was definitely limitless.
Gu Xiao looked at this disciple who was determined to step into the Connate Realm and asked,
"Well done. What's your name?"
The child was obviously nervous and kept stuttering.
"Lord… Lord Divine Tree, my… my name is Liu Ergou!"
When Gu Xiao heard this, his body trembled. He had never thought that there would be someone in this world with the name Liu Ergou.
