A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 171 Evil Fire

The village chief and the others did not leave Shouzheng Hall. Their faces were solemn, but they also had a sense of anticipation in their hearts. The entire Shouzheng Hall was quiet.

After a moment, the village chief asked uncertainly, "Elder, do you think... he can break the seal here?"

The elder chuckled, and with that chuckle, wrinkles appeared on his face. "If he is truly the destined one in the prophecy, then I think he will."

"What if he isn't?"

“If not, then we can only leave it to fate. Last night, I observed the stars and found that all the stars in the night sky were dim and without light, except for one extremely bright star in the south. This star illuminated most of the night sky, and the surrounding stars seemed to be surrounding the moon, as if they were bowing down to it. Therefore, I am certain that this child is undoubtedly the savior of Sun Village.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. The village chief said, "The elder has always been quite knowledgeable about astrology. If that's the case, then it's probably pretty close to the truth."

The elder stroked his white beard and said seriously, "Village Chief, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it."

The village chief said, "Elder, please speak freely."

The elder nodded and said, "I am certain that this young man is no ordinary person and will surely achieve great things in the future. Why don't we follow him? Perhaps we can get what we want from him."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started whispering among themselves. Some agreed with the elder's statement, while others disagreed.

"Elder, I feel that this is not appropriate. I really cannot make us submit to him."

“That’s right. Whether it’s age, seniority, or anything else, we are above him. There’s absolutely no need for us to do this.”

“I agree with the elder’s opinion. Since this young man is the one with the destiny, he must have his own unique qualities. If we follow him, we will only be lowering our own status and we will not lose anything. Once we get what we want from him, I think that face will be insignificant.”

The First Elder nodded and said, "The Fifth Elder is absolutely right. All the elders should think carefully about which is more important."

Upon hearing this, Shouzheng Hall fell silent again. After a moment, the village chief said, "I also agree with the elder's statement. Everyone should think about this carefully. Our Sun Village has been sealed here for millions of years. Who could break this indestructible seal? We must not disobey the teachings of our ancestors. We must be grateful and repay kindness. We must not forget our roots. Now that someone has come to rescue us, we should listen to what he does."

The Second Elder said, "That may be true, but I still feel it's a bit inappropriate for us to submit to a junior like him."

The village chief laughed and said, "Second Elder, I'm afraid that after the seal is broken, we won't have any control over anything anymore?"

……

S City, Dilong Bar.

In the past few days, a group of unfamiliar security guards have appeared in the bar, and it seems that the number of delivery vehicles to the hotel has also increased significantly.

As the hotel owner, Su Haijun actually took charge of counting the goods himself, and disappeared after each count. One day, after Su Haijun finished counting, he returned to his office, just as Liao Kongjun called. After the two finished their call, Su Haijun suddenly smiled and thought to himself, "That's right, how could I forget about them! I can ask Haijun and Mengjuan to help me."

Immediately, he went out to find Liao Kongjun and the other two.

In the chairman's office of Keyong Group, Cheng Tianhai was discussing the details of a project with a client when Cheng Xue suddenly barged in uninvited and grumbled, "Dad, you broke your promise! You're untrustworthy!"

Those who know Cheng Tianhai know that he has a spoiled daughter. The two immediately stopped talking, and Cheng Tianhai smiled slightly and said, "How can Dad go back on his word?"

Cheng Xue pouted and said, "You still dare to say that! It's been several days already, and tell me, have you tried to find out anything about him for me?"

Cheng Tianhai smiled and said, "Hasn't Dad been very busy these past few days?"

"No matter how busy you are, it's just a matter of saying a word, Dad. You just don't keep your word."

"Alright, alright, I'll start investigating this matter once I've finished what I'm doing, okay?"

"Hmph, if I wait for you to investigate, it'll be too late by then. Dad, you don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it myself. You go ahead and do your thing!"

Cheng Tianhai chuckled and said, "Alright, Dad won't interfere. Xue'er, Dad has something to do right now, can you go out first?"

Cheng Xue said "Oh," turned around and left, but after a few steps she turned back and said, "Dad, give me some money, I'm penniless right now."

Without saying a word, Cheng Tianhai took out a bounced check from the drawer and said, "Fill it in yourself!"

Cheng Xue took it without hesitation, chuckled, and said, "Dad, remember to tell my brother that I went with my sister-in-law to pick out a wedding dress, and let him go about his business!"

This was the first time Cheng Tianhai had heard his daughter talk about serious matters, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. He chuckled and said, "Xue'er, why don't you go with your sister-in-law and buy everything we need for the wedding? Tell your sister-in-law to buy whatever she likes."

Cheng Xue giggled and said, "I know!"

As Cheng Xue walked out of the Keyong Group building, she suddenly muttered to herself, "Damn it, you took such a big advantage of me last time, and now I can't even find a trace of you. It's infuriating! Humph, I don't believe I can't find you."

Sun Village, on the Arctic ice sheet.

On this day, Chao Bufan was meditating and cultivating in the library when suddenly, a mysterious curse mark appeared on his forehead, and restless Yin fire surged from his dantian, rushing upwards and pouring into his Yihai.

As the saying goes, there is always a trade-off between gain and loss, and this applies to cultivators as well. When a cultivator reaches the level of understanding the Dharma and comprehends the source, they are bound to lose something. This is an extraordinary path, capable of seizing the creation of heaven and earth and encroaching upon the mysteries of the sun and moon.

The sudden surge of malevolent fire raged wildly, lawless and bizarre, causing the figure to groan in agony. A faint mist of blood settled over his bronze skin. The surrounding air was heavy with moisture. Despite being a malevolent fire, his body temperature plummeted. A strange, uncontrollable aura of blood lingered on his face. He was slowly losing consciousness, his hands and feet growing cold. Gradually, his entire body began to freeze, with glistening ice crystals appearing. Several cracks appeared on his face, from which condensed blood beads trickled. Most perplexing was the fire itself; even the concentrated chill couldn't neutralize it, seemingly resisting it, which only made it more uncontrollable.
