The sky resembled a damp curtain, with the newly risen morning sun obscured and shrouded in gray mist, as gradually the surrounding gray clouds began to converge toward the Great Wilderness Border Village.

King Mountain walked at the forefront, his steps slow and steady. With each step, a trail of dust was stirred up from the ground, and the people behind him, like soldiers, followed his pace, their eyes filled with anticipation and joy.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

As they halted their steps, the dim sky grew darker, and a light drizzle began to fall.

"This Xu Family courtyard is truly large!" King Mountain paused, gazing enviously at the massive house and the nearly ten-meter-high building before him, murmuring with admiration.

At the same time, he made no effort to conceal the greed in his eyes, as if the house was about to become his own.

"Brother Wang, let me help you knock on the door." Skinny Monkey was about to step forward when King Mountain stopped him.

"Knock on the door?" King Mountain said matter-of-factly, "Am I supposed to knock when I’m returning to my own home?"

Skinny Monkey quickly echoed, "Brother Wang is right, this is Brother Wang’s house. Why knock when coming home?"

King Mountain walked up to the door, placing both hands on it, shaking his head, "I don’t like this door."

With that, a surge of gravity burst forth from his massive hands.

"Boom—"

The wooden door of the Xu Family instantly shattered into splinters, scattering into the air, as the fine rain fell onto the wood chips, dispersing them across the ground.

"Husband, is it my husband returning?!" Hearing the noise outside the door, Lian Ji rushed out from the room, even Xu Ran and Little White couldn’t hold her back.

Upon coming out, she saw dozens of people staring greedily at their house. Especially after she ran out, it seemed as if time froze, and their eyes were filled with even greater greed. Just as she was about to speak, King Mountain took a step forward.

"Are you the wife of Xu Binghu?" King Mountain pinched his chin, examining Lian Ji’s body with interest, unabashed greed in his eyes.

When Lian Ji saw it wasn’t her husband and that these people had destroyed their house’s door, her expression changed instantly.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our home?"

Lian Ji had been waiting at home for Xu Binghu’s return, extremely sensitive to everything. Now, with strangers damaging her door, how could she not be angry?

As she spoke, Xu Ran and Little White also heard the noise outside. Seeing a group of people at their door, with greedy eyes, it was evident they came with ill intentions.

Standing at the door, King Mountain immediately spotted the Peregrine Falcon, directly ignoring Xu Ran, letting the raindrops hit his face.

"This raptor looks quite mystical!" King Mountain exclaimed, "I never expected this family of Xu Binghu to have such a Spirit Pet, but it all belongs to me now!"

Skinny Monkey emerged to agree, "Brother Wang, this Xu Family, even if they haven’t earned merit, they’ve certainly labored for it. Not only do they have such a lovely wife, but also such a mystical raptor."

"I heard this raptor, known as the Peregrine Falcon, is a coveted Spirit Pet among all hunters, with keen eyes that can fly at high altitudes for thousands of meters, extremely fast, easily spotting prey on the ground!"

"With such a raptor assisting Brother Wang, he could quickly become the foremost hunter of the Great Mountain, with the entire mountain as his backyard!"

Those lackeys behind Skinny Monkey also chimed in agreement.

"Congratulations Brother Wang, felicitations Brother Wang, on becoming the mightiest hunter of the Great Mountain!"

"I heard that when the Peregrine Falcon matures, it can carry people to the sky to behold the scenery of the Great Mountain!"

"Following Brother Wang, the entire Great Wilderness Border Village will be our playground!"

"Brother Wang is magnificent!"

...

The incessant flattery rose amidst the sound of falling rain, making it all seem particularly cold, blatantly ignoring Lian Ji, Xu Ran, and Little White, standing at the doorway.

It seemed like everything was already in their grasp.

At this point, the severely injured Elder Qi and the others covered their wounds, painfully hobbling to the Xu Family’s door. Seeing the wooden door reduced to splinters, just as they intended to speak, they suddenly remembered the gravity-enhancing Divine Technique. The pain of their internal organs being crushed like a mountain surged again, instantly quelling the thought.

They had done all they could; collectively, none could withstand King Mountain’s Divine Technique. Frankly, even if Xu Binghu returned, they couldn’t believe he could stop King Mountain, unless he too had awakened a Divine Technique.

Elder Qi, his face wrought with suffering and conflict, thought for a moment before walking out slowly.

"King Mountain, if you leave now, we’ll let bygones be bygones. If you wait for Xu Binghu’s return, you’ll only be heading for death!"

Elder Qi tried to persuade, his face pale, but his weak breath made it unconvincing.

"Old man." King Mountain remained silent, but Skinny Monkey spoke first, "My Brother Wang didn’t kill you all out of mercy, and now you dare to interrupt Brother Wang’s thoughts? It seems you’ve truly lived long enough!"

"Is it your place to speak? Someone who hasn’t even undergone a single Body Refining?" Elder Qi retorted to Skinny Monkey’s words.

Though he couldn’t contend against King Mountain, he still had the upper hand against someone who hadn’t gone through a single Body Refining at all.

"You..." Skinny Monkey was left speechless by Elder Qi’s words.

Indeed, he hadn’t gone through Body Refining even once; right now, he was only this arrogant because he was King Mountain’s sidekick before, the second bully in the village. It wasn’t unfounded when they said that when one person attains enlightenment, their dogs and chickens ascend to heaven with them.

As a result.

Just as Elder Qi finished admonishing Skinny Monkey, an invisible pressure suddenly appeared on him. With his injuries, he collapsed to the ground, his aged face meeting the damp earth, a taste of yellow soil entering his mouth.
