Chapter 251: Chapter 250: Return After Graduation

Translator: 549690339

“Is it time reverting?” Li Nian’er murmured to herself, quickly rejecting the speculation. If time had reverted five hundred years, she wouldn’t be here, and Uncle Jiang couldn’t possibly appear so idle.

“Haunted?” Li Nian’er came up with this absurd idea, shivering. As the daughter of Li Er, she naturally knew there were no ghosts in Jiuzhou.

However, knowing was one thing; when faced with unexplainable phenomena, she couldn’t help but feel the existence of ghosts in the world.

“No, no, no. I can’t think like this. I am a cultivator. I must face facts and be logical. There are no ghosts in Jiuzhou.” Li Nian’er tried to convince herself, though her persuasion seemed unconvincing.

“Did Uncle Jiang and I cross over to another world? Or is the village elder playing a trick on me?” Li Nian’er brainstormed, reminded of novels she had read, such as ‘Time-Travelling Lovers’ and ‘Back to the Past to Say I Love You’, written by Lust Teacher. Though these thoughts brought her to no useful conclusions.

“The two of you are likely unable to leave this place. Ever since my grandson ran away, the evil Jiao has intensified its surveillance of the village. Anyone who passes here cannot escape.” The old village chief looked at the uncle and niece pair with pity.

“This place is nearly ten miles away from the Han Pool. Can the Evil Jiao’s divine sense reach here? Could it have reached the Divinity Transformation Stage?” Li Nian’er was amazed. It was difficult to imagine that such a talented monster could reside in this remote, poor location.

Progressing from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Divinity Transformation Stage in just sixty years was a remarkable talent.

As Li Nian’er knew, even Uncle Jiang at her side took a full six years to move from the Nascent Soul Stage to Divinity Transformation.

This evil Jiao possesses one- tenth the talent of Uncle Jiang!

Jiang Li thought that the girl’s appearance took after her mother, and her intelligence took after her father.

“Whether it’s a divinity transformation or not, I don’t know. All I know is that the evil Jiao has forced several young people from the village to monitor us. The evil Jiao has given them some advantages, allowing them to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. They are domineering in the village, and no

one can stop them.”Re𝒂𝒂d the latest stories 𝒐n nov𝒆lbin(.)com

“There are such cruel and unscrupulous people?” Li Nian’er frowned.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, filled with the sounds of gongs, drums, and arguing.

“Give our children back!”

“The evil Jiao had already eaten two people three months ago, how can it still want to eat people?”

“Why does Lord Jiao need your permission to act? Back off and scram!” “You few beasts who assist in evil deeds, do you have any humanity left?” “Humanity? I hope that thing can save your child from Lord Jiao’s mouth.”

The village elder was all too familiar with this scene, and he stormed out of the house in a rage.

“What the hell do you bastards want!”

Outside the door, several young men were dragging two children out of the village amid the sound of gongs and drums. The children’s parents and villagers tried to stop them, but they were no match for those at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, so they had to watch helplessly as the children were taken away.

The two children cried fearfully. It broke their parents’ hearts to hear.

“Lord Jiao sent us a message saying that it had just finished its cultivation session and wanted to eat something delicious. It wanted to have tender, young children as snacks.”

“You!”

“Old village chief, I’d advise you not to meddle, lest Lord Jiao’s next meal be you. Maybe it wants to try some tough meat for a change?”

The young men laughed heartily, showing no respect for the village elder at all.

As they were all at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and the old village chief was alone and facing the end of his life span, he posed no threat to them.

“You bunch of beasts!” Li Nian’er’s brows furrowed slightly.

“You wretch! We have been watching you outsiders for some time now. We planned to wait until Lord Jiao had finished these two children and then send you two over in the next round. But since you’re looking for death, you can’t blame anyone else!” The young men were outraged, preparing to tie up Li Nian’er and Jiang Li together.

But how could they be a match for Li Nian’er? She subdued them all with one move.

“Here, take your children home.” Li Nian’er untied the children and handed them back to their parents.

“Your actions will provoke the wrath of the Jiaolong and bring a total disaster to the entire village!” The youth leading the group was frightened by Li Nian’er’s actions.

If the Jiaolong becomes upset, their entire village, along with his underlings, will perish.

Suddenly, thick clouds gathered, and thunder echoed menacingly. A suffocating sensation pressed upon them as though a huge stone was weighing down on their chests, leaving them gasping for breath.

From a distance, a dark shadow leaped out of the Han Pool, its appearance utterly terrifying.

The dark shadow swiftly approached, moving as fast as lightning, and within a few breaths, reached the entrance of the village.

The shadow resembled a snake, its body deep green, its scales more undulating than any snake’s. At the front were two talons, powerful and strong like that of an eagle’s.

True dragons possess the majestic power to command the weather, and this Jiaolong had been fortunate enough to inherit a fraction of a true dragon’s ability.

The menacing Jiaolong opened its gaping jaws, ready to devour all the villagers.

“The villagers pamcKec1, tailing on their Knees begging tor mercy.

“A wild poisonous Jiaolong at the Nascent Soul Stage, without even a dragon’s horn.” Li Nian’er sneered, detached her pendant, and revealed a dragon’s horn.

Li Nian’er, carrying half of the true dragon’s blood, naturally suppressed the Jiaolong. Moreover, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Body-incorporating Sect, she didn’t think there would be a match for her at this stage.

The only challenging part about the Jiaolong in front of her was its poisonous core. However, with a little caution, she wouldn’t run into trouble.

Although Li Nian’er had hoped to slay the Jiaolong, someone else beat her to it.

“Jiaolong, put an end to your madness!” an energetic young man descended from the sky, engaging in a fierce battle with the Jiaolong.

This unexpected young man turned out to be another Nascent Soul Cultivator!

“Tha-that’s my grandchild, Tong!” The village chief was overjoyed, unable to believe his grandson, now a successful Cultivator, had returned at such a critical moment.

Tong demonstrated impressive fighting skills, gradually overpowering the Jiaolong. In the end, Tong tore open the Jiaolong, extracted its poisonous core, victorious in his return.

Upon Tong’s intervention, the heads of the restless youths fell to the ground.

“Tong, is it really you?” The village chief’s hands trembled, tears streaming down his face. He thought he was dreaming.

“Grandfather, I’ve come back.” Tong chuckled, scratching his head bashfully.

“Good boy, you’re not late, not late at all.” The village chief could not stop his tears.

Tong then turned to thank Li Nian’er and Jiang Li.

Seeing the Jiaolong defeated and Tong returned, the village threw a large banquet. Today, with Tong at the center of attention, the celebratory activities were endless.

Li Nian’er and Jiang Li, having received an invitation, sat at the table with the village chief.

Li Nian’er frowned. She had a feeling something was wrong but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

“Tong, quickly tell us where you’ve been since you left the village!” The village chief cheerfully patted Tong’s head. Tong was enjoying the attention, showing no signs he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator who had just engaged in a bloody battle.

“After leaving the village, I traveled far and wide, searching for a solution to help our village, but I couldn’t find any good leads.”

“One day, I stumbled upon a secret realm. In there, I acquired the Cultivation Technique called ‘One Thought Changes Heaven and Earth.’ It’s a powerful technique that can lead to immortality and is associated with illusion.”

“Unfortunately, the rules of the secret realm were quite unique; one could only leave if they reached the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“So, I honed my skills within the secret realm, studying the way of illusion, practicing ‘One Thought Changes Heaven and Earth.’ Eventually, I reached the

Nascent Soul Stage and was allowed to leave the secret realm.”

“Fearing the Jiaolong continuing to harm people, I rushed back to the village.

Thankfully, I wasn’t late, and no significant disaster occurred.” Having recounted his experiences, Tong let out a sigh of relief..
