When Wutan walked out of the gate, the villagers surrounded him hurriedly. The previous ridicule had disappeared at this moment, and their attitude had completely changed.
"Xiaotian, now that you have opened up your physical strength, you must contribute to the village in the future!"
"Yes, everyone has taken good care of you and Old Man Long over the years. You must repay them well."
"Xiaotian, now that you have become a disciple of the Huoyun Sect, don't bother with Grandpa Longquan. In fact, Grandpa scolded you in the past because it was for your own good. He hoped that you would become a talent."
Wutan did not show much emotion towards the villagers' compliments and Longquan's change of expression. He responded lightly with a few words and walked straight towards the two people from Huoyun Sect who had been waiting for a long time.
“Senior brothers and sisters, you can go now.” Wu Tian said.
The young man in fancy clothes nodded, expressionless, and jumped onto the flamingo, followed closely by the girl.
Wutan took a deep look at the wooden house where his grandfather was, and jumped up without saying a word.
"Get up!" the man shouted.
The flamingo chirped sharply, rushed into the sky, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"You little beast, don't think that everything will be fine if you go to Huoyun Sect. Hehe, the best is yet to come." Long He looked at the sky and sneered.
The wind was freezing cold. Wutan lay on the bird's back, not daring to move. This was his first time riding a flying monster and also his first time flying high in the air. He felt quite nervous and felt dizzy. His face turned pale.
"Quack!" Xiaotian lay on his head, his narrow eyes always staring at the man and woman with vigilance.
"Ah, magic frog, so disgusting." A scream rang out, and the girl instinctively stepped back, hiding behind the man, looking at him with disgust, including Wutan.
The magic frog is a low-level monster, it can't even be considered a monster, and it looks disgusting. Any woman who sees it will be disgusted and stay away from it.
"Junior sister, don't be rude!" The young man in fancy clothes scolded, but there was also contempt in his eyes. He looked down on people who could associate with the magic frog. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was also a cultivator after all, and had a relationship with Lin Shan, he would not have bothered to pay attention to her.
Wu Tian gradually began to adapt to the height and sat up, but his legs were still trembling slightly. He grabbed Xiao Tian in his hands and apologized, "Senior Sister, I'm sorry, I scared you."
The woman did not answer, and the disgust on her face became even stronger.
Wu Tian smiled indifferently and said nothing more. Xiao Tian's appearance was indeed not satisfactory, but after spending some time with him, he became his second relative besides his grandfather. And after what happened a month ago, he understood the truth that it is a crime to possess a treasure. If the two knew Xiao Tian's true identity, they would probably kill people for the treasure like Long He did.
At this moment, Wu Tiancai noticed that the two men had extraordinary looks, both of them were about thirteen or fourteen years old, and their strength was like the ocean, impossible to see through and impossible to fathom.
After looking for a few seconds, Wutan shifted his gaze to the earth.
The flamingo was covered with scales, the size of a palm, as if cast from magma, and as red as fire, giving off a hint of warmth. The shadows of the mountains below were stacked and majestic. Wutan held a piece of scales tightly and looked at it curiously.
The Chiyang Mountains are vast, stretching for thousands of miles, with countless strange objects and sights. When Wutan walked out of Long Village for the first time and saw this magnificent scene, the shock in his heart became more and more uncontrollable.
"Wutian, I'm Huo Shi, the son of the Huoyun Sect's leader. This is Junior Sister Liu Yan. Although Junior Sister Liu is a woman, she is the direct disciple of the Great Elder and possesses a fire spirit body. Among all the disciples of the Huoyun Sect, her strength ranks among the top ten." At this time, the young man in gorgeous clothes opened the topic.
Wu Tian was surprised and said, "So strong!"
"Don't listen to Senior Brother's nonsense. If we talk about strength, Senior Brother is the real strongest. Not only does he possess the dual spirits of fire and wood, but he is only fourteen years old and has already reached the stage of perfection in his cultivation. This is rare among the young generation in the entire Qinglong Continent."
"Dual elemental spirit!"
Wutan was shocked. It was already quite rare for a dragon and a tiger to have fire spirit bodies. But he didn't expect that the boy in front of him, who was only two years younger than him, would possess dual spirit bodies. It was true that there are always people better than you.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Huo, Senior Sister Liu. I'm new here, so please take care of me in the future." Wutan bowed. He understood that seniority in the sect was measured by strength.
Huo Shi said calmly: "I can take care of you, but it requires a price. I just don't know if Junior Brother Wu Tian is willing to pay for it."
"Senior Brother Huo, you are joking. I am just a country boy with nothing. How could I have anything that could catch the eyes of you, senior brothers and sisters?" Wutan was very humble.
"Not necessarily!" the man said lightly, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
"Quack!"
At this time, Xiaotian cried. To Huoshi and the others, it was just an ordinary cry, but Wutan could clearly feel that there was a hint of anxiety in the voice.
And it was Huo Shi’s smile that caused this phenomenon.
After a month of getting along, Wutan got to know Xiaotian quite well. His premonition of crisis was beyond that of ordinary people. After more than 20 days of training in the back mountain, if it were not for his unique premonition, he would have died long ago and been buried in the belly of the monster.
At this moment, he was in the air and there was nothing else around him, so it was impossible for any monster to attack. The only explanation was the two people from Huo Shi.
"Could it be that Xiaotian has seen through something?" Wutan thought to himself, comforting Xiaotian while also becoming secretly alert.
Two hours later, the flamingo arrived above a river.
"Junior sister, why don't you go down and rest for a while?" Huo Shidao said.
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Junior Brother Wu Tian is riding a flamingo for the first time, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to adapt. Anyway, there is no rush, so we can rest for a while before setting off again."
Huo Shi heard this and gave an order, and the flamingo swooped down and landed on the shore.
This is a river with no end. It is ten feet wide. The water is fast-flowing but very clean. The river bank is covered with lush vegetation and jagged rocks, which look like petrified monsters, hideous and terrifying.
"Junior Brother Wutan, go get some water." Huo Shi took out a kettle from his arms and threw it to Wutan. Then he and Liu Yan walked to a big tree not far away and sat on the ground.
Wutan took the kettle, glanced at the backs of the two people, walked towards the river thoughtfully, and calculated secretly with his fingers. Although he could not calculate his own fortune and misfortune, he could figure out some clues through the two people in Huo Shi.
Suddenly, Wutan's body trembled, his hair stood up, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped him. The source came from the two people in Huo Shi.
"Senior Brother, does he really have that thing on him?" Liu Yan asked doubtfully.
"I think it's true. Long He doesn't dare to lie in front of me."
"Then this matter is too serious. We should not act rashly. When we return to the sect, it will not be up to him whether to hand it over or not."
Huo Shidao said, "Junior sister, this is inappropriate. If we ask him to hand it over after we return to the sect, the credit will not belong to us. Just think about it, the preciousness of that thing is shocking, and everyone in Qinglongzhou is jealous. If we hand it over to the sect, we will get a huge reward."
“But if we forcefully seize it and he refuses to give in and leaks the news, wouldn’t that put our sect in crisis, or even lead to its destruction?” Liu Yan said worriedly.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Huo Shi's eyes. Liu Yan knew what he was thinking without him saying anything, so she killed him to silence him.
Huo Shi rolled up his sleeves, revealing a black bracelet. A foot-long brocade box appeared as the light flickered. "Junior sister, there is a blood-sucking insect king inside. I have refined it into a corpse. When he gets water, I will release the insect king. Then he will be dead."
"Isn't this too cruel? Besides, he is one of Elder Lin's better friends." Liu Yan is a woman after all, and she finds this vicious act of destroying the body and leaving no trace unacceptable.
Huo Shi said in a deep voice: "Junior sister, I know you are kind-hearted and can't bear it, but you can't be soft-hearted when doing big things, otherwise there will be endless troubles. As for Lin Shan, he is just a deacon elder. If you just make an excuse to get away with it, I don't think he will dare to pursue it further."
"For the safety of the sect, it seems this is the only way." Liu Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Wutan squatted on the shore, closely watching the two people whispering with his peripheral vision. From the murderous intent flashing between their brows, he realized that the previous calculation was accurate.
But the only thing he couldn't figure out was why the two people wanted to harm him.
All the items in his mind emerged, and finally Wutan discovered that except Xiaotian, he had nothing on him that could be coveted by Huo Shi and the other two.
"Did they discover Xiaotian's identity? Or is it - the token? Yes, it must be the token!"
No one knew the identity of the Yuan-Swallowing Frog except himself. Moreover, the attitudes of the two people towards the Yuan-Swallowing Frog in the air before were clear at a glance. The only explanation was the token.
"Could it be that Long He informed on him?" Thinking of this, Wutan naturally thought of Long He. He was the only one who knew that he had the token.
He scooped up some river water to wash the sweat off his face. It was a cold winter and he was sweating all over. It was obvious that Wutan was extremely nervous.
Looking at the rushing river, a thought flashed through Wutan's mind, and finally he wanted to confirm it, because he still couldn't believe that Long He would betray himself and the villagers he had lived with for many years for the token.
Wu Tian secretly took out the token from his arms, placed it in the soil, and then said loudly: "Brother Huo, Sister Liu, look, there is a token here."
"Token?"
The two people who were plotting looked up when they heard this, and saw Wutan picking up a black token from the ground. There was a look of surprise on their faces, and then it turned into joy.
“Junior Brother Wutan, bring it to me quickly.” Huo Shi said hurriedly.
Seeing this, the glimmer of hope in Wutan's heart was finally shattered. If he still couldn't see through the expressions on the two men's faces, he would be a complete idiot.
"Long He, you are so cruel!" Wutan cried in his heart.
Wutan has lived in a small mountain village for many years, and with the help of Longshan's teaching, he has a simple and kind heart. Even though Longhe killed people for treasures at that time, he was still unwilling to believe that the other party would be so conscienceless.
But how could Wu Tian know that human greed is endless. In the past, Long He did not hesitate to push him off the cliff for this token. So it is not surprising that he tells this secret to others now.
"Junior Brother Wutan, what are you doing standing there? Hurry and bring it here." Seeing Wutan motionless and silent, Huo Shi urged.
After looking at the two people and looking back at the river, Wutan gritted his teeth and jumped directly into it. The surging river water instantly submerged him and he disappeared without a trace.
Huo Shi and the other man were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses in an instant, realizing that Wutan had seen through their conspiracy.
