Chapter 2107: Who’s to Be Expelled?
Nanhai Qing was pressed against the ground and couldn’t move. His breathing was rapid, and the aura upon his body was erratic, but it was so disorganized that he could not gather them into any usable form.
His face was flushed red because of the stifling. His eyes fixed on the muscular body in front of him as he was firmly held in place.
As an existence of Middle Renhuang and a genius talent belonging to the Nanhai family, his position was lofty in the outside world. However, at the moment, he was suffering the worst humiliation of his life. No one could imagine his current state of mind.
However, those around him had a different take. More than the shock of Nanhai Qing’s humiliation, they were more astonished by Blind Tie’s show of strength.
Especially for those cultivators from the outside, Four Corner Village had always been a mysterious place. The village did not produce many powerful people, but each one of them was strong beyond terrifying. Back then, this Blind Tie was also a well-known figure.
But then, the man became blind and returned to the village. Over time, he was forgotten by the world, and his existence was only a faint memory.
However, the person that Blind Tie humiliated was Nanhai Qing, a Renhuang cultivator of the Sixth Realm with perfect Great Path. Blind Tie was able to render him completely without resistance. So much so that Nanhai Qing’s power of the Great Path was unable to condense and take form. The power possessed by Blind Tie was not inconsiderable. Perhaps this genius talent of the Naihai family had never suffered such humiliation like this before. Those from the outside had their concerns and wouldn’t act so boldly.
But the people inside Four Corner Village was another story.
The villagers themselves were stunned as well. Blind Tie had been striking iron in the shop all these years and no longer displayed any of his powers anymore. When he returned to the village, he was blind and on the verge of death. The teacher saved him and gave him his life back, but many speculated that he might have lost his cultivation in the process. They never expected that he was still so powerful.
The teacher was truly amazing to have saved Blind Tie and restore his strength to the same level as it was before.
“Blind Tie, you’ve gone mad.”
When Nanhai Qing was taken down, Muyun Long took a step forward, and the aura of the Great Path exploded fiercely from him. He rushed towards Blind Tie, rousing a great gust of wind around them so that everyone in the distance retreated quickly.
Muyun Long, the head of the Muyun family, was a mighty man himself.
Blind Tie raised his head and faced Muyun Long, saying coldly, “Muyun Long, you tout yourself as one of the people in charge of Four Corner Village, but you are condoning an outsider to violate the rules of the village, allowing him to raise a hand against people inside our village?”
Muyun Long’s face was austere. The ironclad rule for the village had always been that outsiders were not allowed to fight inside the village, let alone take action against the people inside the village.
“The village has changed, and the relics have merged with Four Corner Village. The teacher has agreed to the changes and allowed Four Corner Village to have contact with the outside world. Naturally, some of those staled rules will need to be revised as well. Under these circumstances, it is hard not to have some conflict.” Muyun Long continued coldly, “Don’t forget that the people behind you had also tried to move against my son, Muyun Shu. I wanted to chase him out of the village, but remember how I was stopped?”
“Muyun Long, who was the one who raised his hand first?” At this time, Old Ma came over and said, “Your son instructed outsiders to move against Tie Tou, and not only did you not chastise Muyun Shu, but aided him in expelling the others. Once again, it’s a guest of the Muyun family who wants to break the rules. I know Muyun Lan’s name rang throughout the world outside, and he’s also the son-in-law of the Nanhai family. Therefore, the Muyun family is no longer focused on the welfare of Four Corner Village. How could us villagers be as valuable in your eyes as the people from the Nanhai family?”
Muyun Long stared at the Old Ma, and so did everyone else in the village.
There were conflicts between the two parties again, and it’s Muyun Long and Old Ma’s family. This time, no one expected that Little Ling would be the one to inherit the divine techniques. Perhaps Muyun Long was a tad too anxious when he saw what had happened, causing the Nanhai family to take part in the action. However, no one expected Blind Tie to be such a powerful interceptor.
“In my opinion, Muyun Long, you are too selfish. You only care about the interests of outsiders and not the welfare of the village. You and Muyun Shu should be expelled from Four Corner Village.” Old Ma said nonchalantly. This immediately made the heartbeats of everyone inside the village skip a beat.
Exile Muyun Long from Four Corner Village?
“Do you know what you are talking about?” Muyun Long stared at Old Ma. Expel his family from Four Corner Village?
The Muyun family enjoyed great status in Four Corner Village, and he was now the unofficial head of the four great families inside the village. How dared Old Ma talk about expelling him.
“This time on the day of the sacrifice, Tie Tou and Little Ling had received the opportunity to awaken, thus inheriting the technique of their ancestors and honoring our village. This should have been a great joy in the village, but Muyun Long was envious of their fortune and tried to intervene twice to stop Tie Tou and Little Ling, directly undercutting the interests of this village. The Muyun family is no longer worthy of staying in the village. Teacher, please decide,” Old Ma said as he put his hands together. It appeared that he was quite serious and was not just venting. He really wanted to drive out the Muyun family.
Those foreign principalities were disturbed by these allegations. Four Corner Village had long been isolated from the world, and the people inside the village must have accumulated some deep-seated grievances. It seemed that the conflict this time had brought out this dissatisfaction, and the two sides were now completely at an impasse.
“I agree.” Blind Tie let go of Nanhai Qing as he seconded the suggestion, facing the teacher.
People from the Muyun family had tried to move against his son before. This time, they aimed Little Ling, and he and Old Ma were completely fed up. He couldn’t fault Old Ma for being so angry.
The seven great divine techniques belonged to Four Corner Village. Anyone, as long as they were villagers, all had the opportunity to inherit the divine techniques. Tie Tou and Little Ling to inheriting the divine techniques ought to be the pride of the Four Corner Village, but what did the Muyun family do?
Instantly, many people inside Four Corner Village were whispering, talking and pointing at Muyun Long. If It weren’t for Muyun Long’s attempt to drive Ye Futian away, they still wouldn’t know what happened on the day of the sacrifice when Muyun Shu wanted to do something to Tie Tou.
But this time, many had seen it with their own eyes, and it was indeed the guests of the Muyun family who wanted to sabotage Little Ling’s awakening. This, indeed, upset many in the village. A closer look at Muyun Long’s behavior and thinking carefully back over the years, he had always considered the interests of his family first, not the interest of the village.
They had not thought much about it before, but Old Ma’s words had awakened many people. After all, they were simple villagers who would never think much about matters like this.
Aware of the talking and pointing behind him, Muyun Long’s expression was not so good. This was the first time he was scolded by so many villagers. Those whispers began to express dissatisfaction with him.
He didn’t expect the situation to end up like this.
“I have said before that Four Corner Village must solve the problems in the village on its own. Since it can’t be decided, we must wait until after the seven great divine techniques have been revealed so the heirs of the seven families may decide together. This way, the will of the Four Corner Village would be properly represented.” Far into the distance, an elusive voice was heard by everyone.
Now that Tie Tou and Little Ling had both awakened, the Tie family would become one of them. Together with Little Ling and the Fang family, that was already three families. Previously, the Shi family also supported Ye Futian, which meant that the balance inside the village had already begun to shift. If the Shi family were also dissatisfied with the Muyun family, the possibility to expel Muyun Long would become very real.
Of course, the teacher said that all seven great divine techniques would have to be revealed, so there was a possibility that the Fang family may be replaced, but no one knew who would be the replacement.
However, judging from the teacher’s words, it was not hard to fathom that the ending must not be far off. Especially after Little Ling’s awakening, this school of thought was even stronger. All the other divine techniques would be revealed and find their heirs.
“It seems that Old Ma was correct this time in finding Ye Futian, who must be a man of great luck. It seems that it was he who brought Little Ling along.” Many people looked at Ye Futian and made the connections secretly in their hearts.
“As for the outsiders, since Four Corner Village is in an unusual time now, they won’t interfere. But there is only one thing: I won’t tolerate outsiders attacking the villagers of Four Corner Village.” As the voice fell, terrifying coercion dropped from the sky. The hearts of many skipped a beat as they felt that majestic coercion of the Great Path.
“Furthermore, as to what to what directions to take towards the outside world in the future, the seven will decide after the seven great divine techniques have been revealed,” the teacher continued. Still, he didn’t get involved. Everything would follow the will of the Four Corner Village!
