This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

The sound of the bell spread quickly and covered a wide area.

Because the large bell was itself a Spiritual Artifact, though not of high quality, its only function was to amplify sound waves.

When the bell tolled, it signaled that something major had occurred, and all the villagers of White Flower Snake Village were to quickly gather.

The villagers of White Flower Snake Village did indeed do so, setting aside their current tasks and hurrying to the square with confusion and panic in their hearts.

In the bamboo building, the dozen or so cultivators from other villages had also heard the bell that echoed throughout the entire mountain stronghold.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on?" a cultivator from the Yinkui Faction asked.

"Seems like something big has happened?" a cultivator from the Golden Toad Faction said hesitantly, "When Wizard Wushao left just now, his expression was off, and he was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to explain anything else."

The other cultivators all nodded in agreement.

"Shall we go out and see what's happening too?" someone suggested.

Upon hearing this, the spirits of the cultivators in the room lifted.

After all, it wasn't their own business; they were quite willing to watch the excitement.

Soon, the suggestion won the approval of all the cultivators present.

.....

On the square.

The bell sounded, and the villagers acted swiftly. Besides, the entire population of White Flower Snake Village, including the elderly, women, and children, amounted to no more than nearly ten thousand people.

So in just a short while, nearly all the villagers had assembled.

Yet, looking at Lu Qingshan standing on the high platform, the villagers of White Flower Snake Village were somewhat perplexed.

It seemed they had never seen Lu Qingshan before, nor did they remember having such a young wizard in their village.

Whispers about Lu Qingshan's identity and origins had already started to spread among the people.

But out of respect and fear for the wizards, no one dared to voice their doubts, at least for the time being.

The dozen cultivators from other villages felt the same way.

They too did not recognize Lu Qingshan, but since they were not from White Flower Snake Village and only had a certain understanding of its cultivators, they couldn't guarantee that they knew everything.

Besides, if there was a problem with Lu Qingshan, Wizard Wushao would not have shown no reaction at all; it was better for them as outsiders to just enjoy the show.

So, because Lu Qingshan acted openly and everyone assumed as much, all the people, even though some had doubts about his identity on the platform, did not experience any conflict.

Seeing that the villagers of White Flower Snake Village had almost all arrived, Lu Qingshan finally called out, "Come out."

Two figures leaped onto the high platform from a corner.

One was the Great King of the Western Rats, and the other was Mimi, who was still very weak but could barely move.

The villagers had already started to grow restless.

They might not recognize the Great King of the Western Rats, but Mimi was their lifesaver, whom many knew well.

However, why was their lifesaver covered in wounds and emaciated?

Lu Qingshan, pointing at Mimi, raised his voice, "Today, I am here to settle an account. As for what account needs settling, some of you should already understand. Whether you come forward yourselves or require me to identify you one by one..."

Before Lu Qingshan could finish, someone in the crowd, growing impatient, called out, "Where is Wizard Wushao? You summon all the village's villagers claiming it's to settle accounts, but did Wizard Wushao agree to this?"

Lu Qingshan sighed to himself.

Why bother?

"Who are you?" Lu Qingshan asked in a gentle voice, his face showing no significant change in expression.

The person who spoke was one of the dozen or so cultivators from other tribes, short in stature and somewhat sleazy looking, but a cultivator in the Early Stage of Golden Core nonetheless.

Seeing Lu Qingshan ask, the man proudly stepped forward, "I am from Qing Chan Village, a Golden Core Great Witch Doctor, Lai Ci Wizard!"

It was very obvious that Lu Qingshan was not welcomed by the villagers, and the reason he chose to come forward was simple.

--- Although it was unclear where the Witch Doctor Wushao had gone or why he had not come out to stop Lu Qingshan's actions, there was no doubt that Lu Qingshan was just a cultivator in the Early Stage of Golden Core.

He himself was also at the Early Stage of Golden Core cultivation and was fully capable of stepping forward to stop Lu Qingshan's wrongful deeds. In doing so, he could seize the opportunity to curry favor with Witch Doctor Wushao and obtain more Rejuvenating Elixirs.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and said in a clear voice, "Very well."

As soon as the words were spoken, a burst of murderous intent suddenly rose from within.

Whoosh!

With a flash like lightning, accompanied by a thunderous sonic boom, the Dragon Sparrow Sword slashed horizontally towards Lai Ci Wizard.

Clearly, Lai Ci Wizard had not expected that the young cultivator with a handsome face on the platform would be so decisive and ruthless—his smile still lingering in the previous moment, but the next, he had struck out in front of everyone.

Lai Ci Wizard was caught off guard, and Lu Qingshan, intending to kill one to warn the others, had even imbued the flying sword with a thread of Slaughter Sword Intent.

The crimson sword light directly penetrated Lai Ci Wizard's abdomen, and within his body, the raging Sword Qi wreaked havoc, indiscriminately destroying every inch of his flesh.

Instantly, Lai Ci Wizard's entire body was torn apart into countless pieces of flesh and splattered blood.

"A mere toad dares to posture before me?" Lu Qingshan said coldly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, "I am here to settle accounts, does anyone object?"

Most of the people in the crowd were mere mortals who saw wizards as lofty beings.

Who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, a Great Witch Doctor would die so effortlessly before them, and the scene was so bloody.

These villagers could not help but step back in unison, screams erupting, sweat breaking out on their backs, not to mention standing up to object.

As for the dozen or so cultivators from the other tribes, they dared not speak anymore.

Being cultivators themselves, it was precisely for this reason that they understood all too well how terrifying it was for the young cultivator on the platform to have slain Lai Ci Wizard with a single sword strike.

Seeing that no one else dared to come forward, Lu Qingshan continued, "I will give you all ten breaths of time. Those who initially stepped forward to deceive Mimi back to the village, come forward and confess your guilt. Let each matter be returned to its rightful place.

If you make me seek out each one of you, wasting my time, don't blame me for involving your families."

Lu Qingshan's voice was very cold, chilling to the bone.

Looking at the little deer on the platform, commotion had already started below.

When Mimi saved their entire village, most of the villagers had a good impression of her because of such a great kindness.

However, they were all confused about why the little deer, who was originally extraordinary and full of spiritual nature, had turned into such a sorry state now.

Now, Lu Qingshan had revealed the truth.

Someone in the village actually deliberately framed the deer demon.

And Lu Qingshan's motive for accounting was to seek revenge for the deer demon!

"Ten, nine, eight..." Lu Qingshan began to count calmly.

With his counting, the noise among the villagers grew even louder.

Having witnessed Lu Qingshan's violent methods just now, they all saw with their own eyes how ruthless he was, and no one doubted that he would indeed do as he said.
