Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Four ancient Unification stage warriors controlled the domain, preventing the residual waves of the battle from leaking out. Daoist Buyu unleashed his field of attack with fierce intensity.

“Damn, why did we have to meet the most difficult Sword Cultivator!” one of the Unification stage warriors complained. Historically, Sword Cultivators were always the toughest opponents. The first Unification stage warrior they encountered from the current era was a Sword Cultivator, whose luck seemed to have reached a complete low point.

Among them, four were in the late stage or peak of Unification. It was hard to deny the strength of their alliance; their seamless coordination was unmatched in the Unification stage. Yet, against Daoist Buyu, they gained no advantage. Even a slight miscalculation could lead to a fatal risk.

This was partly because they were upholding the rules of Buyi Town and had not fully awakened from their long slumber. Despite that, it was evidence of the terrifying power of Daoist Buyi.

“Even in our era, there were no such Unification stage Sword Cultivators!” Another Unification stage Great Power spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. His momentum had been fluctuating, having been wounded by a sword. He needed to concentrate on healing.

“Thankfully, we have the advantage of numbers. He is only one person. A prolonged battle is in our favor. If we drag this on for ten more days, I refuse to believe he can maintain such vigor and vitality!”

“Is Buyi Town okay? If someone exploits the rules and finds a legitimate way to leave, then we will face the backlash.”

The rule breaking method of Daoist Buyi using Sword Qi was clearly not “legitimate.”

“What’s there to fear? Old Five is the mayor. Even though he Possesses someone, those young ones can’t handle him.”

“True.” Thinking about Old Five in Buyi Town, the four of them put their worries aside and slowly battled Daoist Buyi.

Hearing this, Daoist Buyu was concerned for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“I told them to stay in Buyi Town. They should listen, right?”

Thinking about Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou in Buyi Town, Daoist Buyu believed they were good and obedient children. He continued his gradual battle with the four.

Xiao Yun would certainly be worried about Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou being taken away by him. If it took too long, she would come looking for him.

“One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand!” Daoist Buyu roared, as if intending to unleash his full power for swift decisiveness, which scared the four of them.

One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand was a famous move during ancient times. They naturally knew about it.

Daoist Buyu raised his hand, and golden Sword Qi shone like the sun. With a flicker of the sword, ten thousand swords appeared, all with tangible forms, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the false.

As the myriad of swords descended, it was like a storm, unfathomable in its power.

“Be careful. He’s making a last-ditch effort!” One of them reminded the others.

Daoist Buyu changed his sword technique again, “Unification of Man and Sword!”

His figure completely disappeared, merging with the sword.

With tens of thousands of swords present, the four of them had no idea which sword Daoist Buyu had unified with. They couldn’t even find him.

The four of them were so frustrated that they wanted to vomit blood. They had never heard of such a time-consuming method!

“You call yourself a Sword Cultivator!”

[Rule Seven: If you feel dizzy, have blurred vision, or grow black hair on your arms, and it doesn’t recover within an hour, you may ignore rule four and head to the Ancestral Hall immediately]

[Rule Nine: If you have broken the necks of too people, you can choose to stay or leave Buyi Town. After leaving, all memories of Buyi Town will be lost]

[Rule Ten: Without violating the above rules, you must comply with the mayor’s orders]

[Rule Eleven: In the center of the town, there is a 300-year-old pagoda tree. During 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., it transforms into the Ancestral Hall]

“We finally know the location of the Ancestral Hall.” Meng Jingzhou laughed. They were initially planning to stir up some trouble to find out the location of the Ancestral Hall. Now, it felt like they were lucky, an unexpected joy.

Lu Yang, on the other hand, paid attention to another matter. After all, they had gone through a lot of trouble to learn the rules related to Buyi Town’s government officials to discover the whereabouts of the mayor.

“It’s a bit tricky. The rules state, ‘you must stay in the government office between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.,’ and ‘you will not see the mayor during this time, if you do, believe it to be an illusion.’ which indicates that the mayor is not in the government office between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.”

If they are unaware of the whereabouts of the mayor, they may encounter the mayor while going to the Ancestral Hall.

“We shouldn’t face the mayor lightly. The mayor’s abilities should not be limited to one, and we’re also not sure how strong he is.”

“We should try to avoid him.”

All of a sudden, as if he had uncovered something, Lu Yang said, “Did you notice? Between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., the mayor is not in the government office. During this period, the thatched hut and the inn are safe. There is only danger left on the streets.”

“What is on the streets? Only monsters! It is highly possible that the mayor is the monster!”

Meng Jingzhou frowned, “But look, the rules also say ‘the mayor only has one head and two arms’ Does the monster look like that?”

Lu Yang nodded, “Do you remember the shadow outside our window on our first night? It was two stories high, and the upper body was like a human, which does not conflict with the description in the rule.”

“The rules don’t describe what the lower body looks like!”

Meng Jingzhou made a decision, “In the period from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., we won’t return to the inn. We will stand by the big pagoda tree, and as soon as it turns into the Ancestral Hall, we rush in, break the Buddha statue, throw the jade pendant in, and then split up to quickly return to the inn.”

If they split up, should one of them encounter the monster, the other would still be safe. This way, at least one of them would be safeguarded.

“The monster may not dare to attack us. Our lives are connected to the Soul Lamp. Once we die, the Soul Lamp extinguishes and members from our Sects will come. These Unification stage warriors will inevitably die!” Lu Yang seemed to be speaking to Meng Jingzhou, but in fact, he was addressing the all-knowing mayor.

Both of them headed to the big pagoda tree in the center of the town, as time ticked away.

As 9 p.m. approached, accompanied by the town crier’s shout and the gong’s sound, the space where the big pagoda tree was began to distort gradually, and it turned into an old, wooden Ancestral Hall. An inscription outside read, “Buyi Town Ancestral Hall Rules.”

Both were incredibly nervous and subconsciously reached for the jade pendant on their waists. Their expressions dramatically changed.

“The jade pendant is gone!” Both shouted in unison.

At this moment, a muffled voice came from inside the Ancestral Hall, “Hehe, you two ignorant children. If you can find the paper with ‘Buyi Town Government Official Rules’ while creating chaos, then why can’t I order the government officials to steal your jade pendants during the chaos?”

Rule Ten of the Buyi Town Government Official Rules: [Without violating the above rules, you must obey the mayor’s commands]
