Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

Seeing Dong Xi leave, Qianqian and Yu Li looked at Li He and cupped their fists in farewell.

After Dong Xi left the Ningtian Sect encampment, she immediately went to the location of the first mission.

Was this a village near Fotai City? Every night, there would be laughter. Dong Xi’s mission was to find out what was going on and report it to the sect.

In her previous life, Dong Xi had been obsessed with all kinds of supernatural horror stories. When she had first seen this mission, Dong Xi had been overjoyed.

!!

Midnight laughter? Was there a ghost?

Dong Xi threw away the broken shoes on her feet, changed into a new pair, and walked towards the village.

Dong Xi could see a big willow tree at the village entrance from afar. The willow tree was very thick and needed two people to hug it. The dense crown of the tree covered the sky at the village entrance.

Dong Xi activated Earth Bending and arrived under the willow tree.

There were also a few large rocks under the tree. The surface was smooth, and it was obvious that many people used to sit here and chat in the cool.

There was a well beside the tree, where the villagers drew water. Dong Xi took a quick look and walked into the village.

The doors of every house were closed. Dong Xi glanced at the chimneys. They were all smoking, indicating that there were still people living there.

Dong Xi immediately knocked on the door of a house. Dong Xi said, “Is anyone there? I’m just passing by and want to drink some water.”

The person in the room looked around and realized that it was a little girl.

But how could her family be at ease when she came out alone? Thinking of the laughter at night, which seemed to be children, the people in the house did not dare to open the door!

Dong Xi knocked on the doors of a few houses, but none of them dared to open the door. Dong Xi peeked through the crack of the door and could see some children tied up by their family members.

Many families were the same. It was really strange.

Dong Xi felt that he should change his strategy. This time, he walked directly to the door of a house and removed the door.

The people in the house were all wrapped together. Dong Xi stood at the door and looked at the old couple in the house. Dong Xi said, “You’re all at home, why didn’t you open the door?”

The two old men immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, “Fairy, please spare me!”

Dong Xi casually put the door back in place. After circulating her wood spiritual energy, all the damaged parts were repaired.

Dong Xi sat at the side and looked at the two old men who were trembling in fear. Dong Xi said, “Get up! Can you tell me why you won’t open the door even though there are people in your house?”

The old lady looked at Dong Xi and asked in fear, “Y-y-y-you’re an Immortal?”

Dong Xi stretched out her hand, and a flame appeared in her palm. She said, “What do you think?”

The old lady immediately relaxed and said, “Fairy, save me!”

“Answer my question first,” said Dong Xi. “If you don’t say anything, how can anyone save you?”

The old lady said, “It’s like this…”

The two old men talked for a long time, and Dong Xi also understood.

From three months ago, this village had been filled with laughter every night.

At first, everyone was also afraid, but at most, they did not go out at night and worked normally during the day.

But one day, when they were ready to go out to work, they suddenly realized that everyone had gone out of the village, and they were even more afraid.

At this time, everyone also found that the children in the family always ran out in the middle of the night. The families with children were even more afraid, so they could only tie their children up.

“There’s only so much food in the village,” the old lady said. “We’ll run out of food one day. What will we do when we run out of food? And those children, I don’t know what’s attracting them, but they run out in the middle of the night. Don’t you think it’s scary?”

Dong Xi frowned. It was indeed a little scary. She had to investigate properly and report it to the sect.

At this moment, she finally understood why the mission description was not so detailed. It was because no one could get out of here!

“Then can I still go out?” Dong Xi asked.

The two old men looked at each other and shook their heads, “We don’t know,”

Dong Xi immediately stood up and used earth shrinking to walk towards the village entrance.

The two old men looked at Dong Xi’s actions and immediately became happy.

“Although this female Immortal is very young, she looks quite powerful!” the old man said.

The old lady also nodded excitedly, “Yup! It’s quite powerful!”

When Dong Xi arrived at the village entrance, she found that she was also blocked inside. There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of her blocking his way.

Dong Xi circulated her spiritual Qi and raised her hand to poke the barrier. She discovered that her finger had actually poked a hole in the barrier.
