"Well, there are seven contractors who have appeared so far, and there should be more hidden ones." Chi Yao looked around and scanned the contractors who joined the Biyou Village camp.
Ma Xianhong led the way in front and said.
"Brother Huiyao, my Biyou Village is pretty good, right?"
As a visiting guest, one should give the host some face, Chi Yao nodded and praised.
"Village Chief Ma, this is a nice place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It also has such complete protective facilities, and the village is also full of good fighters."
Ma Xianhong was very pleased to hear Chi Yao's praise.
"That's right. I personally arranged the defense of Biyou Village, and everyone in the village is also my companion who agrees with my philosophy."
"."Chi Yao did not reply. Ma Xianhong was not very good at judging people. Many people in Biyou Village had committed crimes and sneaked in, not to mention a group of contractors who specialized in causing trouble.
Ma Xianhong then took out his mobile phone and sent a gathering message to the top talents in the village.
"Brother Huiyao, please meet the top talents in the village first."
Chi Yao did not refuse and asked knowingly.
"Okay. As for the superior aptitude you mentioned, what do you mean?"
Ma Xianhong raised his hand and motioned Chi Yao to follow him.
"Well, I'll explain it to you when we get there, and you'll understand it more easily."
Chi Yao did not refute and followed Ma Xianhong to a red wooden building with three big characters "Xiu Shen Tang" on the doorplate.
In front of the Self-cultivation Hall, there were already four people standing, namely Qiu Rang, Zhao Guizhen, Liu Wukui, and Fu Rong. They were all people with superior aptitude selected by Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong walked forward, opened the door of the Self-cultivation Hall, revealing the device in the room that looked like an alchemy furnace, and explained.
"Brother Huiyao, I am a weapon refiner, and the skill I master is the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, one of the Eight Wonders."
"In my opinion, everything in the world is a tool refined by nature. Humans are also tools and can be refined!"
"This self-cultivation furnace can transform ordinary people into extraordinary people. The roots of those who enter the furnace are all of low quality. Their abilities and achievements depend entirely on the person holding the furnace."
"So the one who holds the furnace must be someone with excellent talent, and the best talent is the one who holds the furnace of self-cultivation."
"But the self-cultivation furnace is not perfect yet. In order to perfect it, I need enough and rich examples to analyze the shortcomings."
"So I would like to ask you to help me."
Chi Yao touched his chin and pointed at the four people standing in front of the house.
"Would you like to introduce these people?"
Ma Xianhong patted his head and said immediately.
"I almost forgot to introduce you! For those with higher aptitude, this is Hui Yao, a friend I just made."
"Hui Yao, this is Qiu Rang, my apprentice, and also a weapon refiner."
"This Taoist priest is Zhao Guizhen, a Taoist priest from Mount Mao."
"This little girl is Liu Wukui, born to be a boy."
"This beauty is Fu Rong, a master of sword energy."
"There are several top talents who are not in the village right now, so you won't be able to see them for the time being."
Chi Yao's eyes focused and he looked at the four people, finally staring at Zhao Guizhen.
Everyone present noticed the hostility emanating from Chi Yao, and Ma Xianhong immediately stepped forward and questioned him.
"Brother Huiyao, what do you mean by this? Are you dissatisfied?"
Chi Yao sneered and mocked.
"Haha! Village Chief Ma, I thought your Biyou Village was a pure land, but I didn't expect it to be a place of filth and dirt."
Then, Chi Yaomeng stretched out his hand and pressed down. Zhao Guizhen had no time to react and was directly sucked into the ground beneath his feet. The solidified earth element was several times harder than steel, and it directly controlled Zhao Guizhen and made him unable to move.
The remaining three were about to take action but were stopped by Ma Xianhong.
"Master!"
"village head!"
The three of them shouted in confusion.
Ma Xianhong activated the black battle armor on his body and stood in front of Chi Yao with a serious face.
"Gui Yao, although we have only met for a short time, I am willing to trust you. Please explain why you attacked Taoist Zhao Guizhen?"
"Master! Save me!" Zhao Guizhen's face turned red and he couldn't help but shout.
Chi Yao looked at Ma Xianhong and said in surprise.
"Ma Xianhong, it seems that you still have some ability to distinguish right from wrong."
"Zhao Guizhen, you may be able to hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. The resentment of the seven children's ghosts in you is very deep!"
"As a Taoist priest of Mount Mao, you actually practice the Seven Evils Summoning Body of Wild Mount Mao Magic?"
Chi Yao knew Zhao Guizhen's background through the original novel, and of course he was not just bluffing. After the Death Eyes were upgraded, Chi Yao could see the color of souls, and naturally he could also see the vengeful spirits entangled with Zhao Guizhen.
"Ghost of a child?!" Ma Xianhong's face suddenly changed. He looked at Zhao Guizhen and immediately asked, "Zhao Guizhen! Is what Hui Yao said true?!"
"Master! You can't believe his one-sided story! I was wronged!" Zhao Guizhen immediately acted as if he was wronged and squeezed out a few tears.
"Hui Yao, are you mistaken? Taoist Zhao Guizhen should not be the one," Ma Xianhong said hesitantly. For some reason he felt that what Chi Yao said was correct, but emotionally he still couldn't believe that Zhao Guizhen had done such a thing.
Chi Yao did not hesitate. Zhao Guizhen's wall lamp was a beast in human clothing, and he had done a lot of superficial work.
Chi Yao clenched his hands, and the soil around Zhao Guizhen squeezed towards him. Since Zhao Guizhen wanted to pretend, he would use the life-and-death crisis to tear his disguise apart!
"Ahhh!" Zhao Guizhen couldn't help but yelled, but in his heart he was wondering why Ma Xianhong and the others hadn't taken action yet!
"Master, we can't let him do this to Taoist Zhao, right? I can't bear it anymore!" Fu Rong took out a dagger from behind her back with her right hand, and slashed at Chi Yao with several sword energies, not aiming at the vital points, intending to force Chi Yao to stop.
As soon as Chi Yao thought about it, a wind wall took shape, blocking the sword attack. At the same time, the gravity of the earth and the restraint of the air directly imprisoned Fu Rong.
Chi Yao opened his mouth and a wave of air spread out from his body, pushing everyone away for a distance.
"Ma Xianhong, if you are willing to trust me, just watch carefully and tell others not to interfere."
"Master?" Qiu Rang asked. As a disciple of Ma Xianhong, Ma Xianhong's orders were the first thing he obeyed.
Ma Xianhong hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Chi Yao took advantage of Ma Xianhong's hesitation and slightly increased his strength, and the stone spikes in the sealed pit slowly pierced out.
Zhao Guizhen felt the increasingly urgent pressure and the looming sense of threat. He cursed angrily, thinking that the boy in front of him really wanted to crush him to death.
"CNMD! Ma Xianhong! Are you just going to watch your followers die without helping them?! I still have to rely on myself!"
If Zhao Guizhen keeps hiding his incompetence, he will be dead!
Zhao Guizhen is unwilling to hand his life over to others, let alone be squeezed to death by Chi Yao.
But if he revealed the evil arts he practiced, he would definitely become the enemy of everyone present.
I have seen Ma Xianhong's methods and I know he is definitely no match for him.
So Zhao Guizhen planned to use all his strength to escape. If he couldn't win, couldn't he just run away?
Besides, the young man in front of me looks like he is only in his early twenties, and his strength is not that strong. The magic just now was successful only because it attacked me by surprise!
Just break through him! Kill this kid directly!
"Seven evil spirits gathered together! Break them for me!"
Zhao Guizhen's entire body was covered in pitch-black energy. He suddenly rushed out of the pit, revealing seven hideous faces of evil spirits on his chest and back.
"You little brat! You forced me to do this!"
