Light Cultivation
Eps. 232 — Village Tradition
"What are you doing! Killing snakes is our job?!" One of the dozens of people shouted furiously at Jian Chen's entourage.
Jian Chen frowned, "Ah, so I see, you guys are the small organization that the citizens are talking about, don't you think?"
"Hmph! Because because of you we lost this job, now give me what you have and..." One of them then looked at the two girls who were with Jian Chen, his eyes round looking at the beauty of the two. "Kneel down, or we'll kill you!"
"Your strength is only in the Life Realm, not enough to rob us let alone make us surrender. Why should I obey?"
"We didn't beat you enough but if we tell our superiors, you'll be fugitives for the Night Bats organization!"
Jian Chen chuckled lightly then took a few steps forward, Jian Chen also gave instructions to Ziyun and Meily to be behind him as he realized the situation would not end simply.
"So? What do you want to do after this, report to your superiors?"
"As long as you don't fight back and obey your will, we won't do anything to you."
"Oh, but why are you staring at my two women like you want to do something?" Jian Chen smiled widely.
Ziyun and Meily were surprised but they were happy to hear it, both of them had not expected Jian Chen to have already considered them so, something they had hoped for long ago.
"No need to negotiate anymore, I will use the swordsman's way to deal with you?"
The dozens of people in uniform were shocked, they had not expected Jian Chen to act like this.
"You! If you kill us then my entire organization will chase and kill you?"
"No," Jian Chen shook his head slowly. "I just want to destroy you all, not have to kill to eliminate you. Do you understand what methods make people like you stop being criminals?"
The dozens of people took two steps back with pale faces, without even answering they already knew.
Jian Chen turned his head towards Ziyun and Meily for a moment, "You guys wait here, don't go anywhere."
Ziyun and Meily nodded, their minds still thinking about Jian Chen's words earlier.
Jian Chen instantly disappeared from their sight before suddenly appearing before one of them. Jian Chen unleashed a powerful punch making him instantly vomit blood and be unconscious.
Jian Chen turned to the others, the dozens of people immediately dispersed in various directions and fled after seeing one of his comrades lose in a single strike.
In fact even though they scattered Jian Chen could still catch up to them one by one, any punch or kick of Jian Chen instantly made them injured and obliterated his cultivation, right, obliterating their cultivation.
Jian Chen did not plan to kill the dozens of people, precisely he gave them a chance to live but by crippling his cultivation.
Simply put, to the warriors, eliminating his cultivation was not much different from death though.
Jian Chen then spared one of them, he choked him upwards making him thrash in pain and difficulty breathing, Jian Chen then introgated the place and headquarters of the organization called the Night Bats.
It was not difficult to get what he was looking for, Jian Chen did not plan to let organizations like them continue to exist.
Jian Chen believed that bringing the snake to the countryside was the organization of the Night Bats for them to take the opportunity to blackmail the villagers.
They did not commit murder, but it was no more cruel than murder itself. Jian Chen was sure that there were already many villages that they were doing like this because such a way was not foreign to evil organizations like them.
After finding out, Jian Chen did not go directly to the headquarters of the organization but instead first reported to the villagers about the snake they had managed to kill.
"I killed the snake, and now the village will be safe again..."
Jian Chen took out the head of the snake that had been cut off earlier in the crowd making the nearby residents shocked.
"This rider..." The village head became a dilemma, he was on the other hand happy because Jian Chen was addressing the problem of his village yet he did not have enough money to pay Jian Chen.
Jian Chen who understood the Village Chief's mind shook his head slowly. "No need, I didn't kill him for the money. We should help others in need."
"You two are here first, I have business with the organization before..." Jian Chen stroked Ziyun and Meily's head in turn.
The villagers who saw him felt awkward, they did not need to understand to see there was a bond of romance from the three.
"Be careful..." Meily looked at Jian Chen deeply while Ziyun nodded slowly but the look in her eyes said the same thing.
Jian Chen smiled gently before then floating flying into the air and darting off in one direction.
Ziyun and Meily were surprised to see it, they only found out Jian Chen could float which in another sense was already at the cultivation of the high realm while the citizens of the expression were more shocked.
Jian Chen left in just a few hours until the sky darkened before he finally returned to the village. The arrival of Jian Chen was immediately welcomed by the villagers.
"A party? Is this your village's celebration?" Jian Chen frowned as the villagers made a huge bonfire as well as there was some food made.
"Brokers, this is just our tradition when it comes to successfully solving village problems, such as a long drought or in the present case the snake you killed."
Jian Chen scratched his itchy head, choosing not to ask any further.
The Village Chief then asked Jian Chen to stay for a while in this village because in addition to celebrating the death of the snake that had plagued their village for half a year, they did this party to entertain Jian Chen.
Jian Chen was actually about to refuse but his gaze fell on the two girls he knew but now had different appearances.
Ziyun and Meily had been wearing the village's distinctive dress, or rather the villagers forced the two to put on their dresses.
Jian Chen stared at the two from top to bottom, to be honest their faces remained beautiful yet due to their strange impressed appearance Jian Chen almost laughed at his making.
"Brother Jian..." Meily lowered her head in embarrassment at Jian Chen's reaction, she hoped Jian Chen was interested in his appearance but it turned out to be far from her expectations.
On the other hand Ziyun did not mind Jian Chen's reaction any further, instead she laughed because indeed the appearance of the dress she was wearing looked strange.
The people laughed, they didn't take it personally because that's how it is. According to their belief, anyone who wears the dress will be good in romance, it is what makes Meily and Ziyun follow the will of the residents despite having to look strange.
