Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 297 - 126: Heading South to Settle New Lands, Cutting Through the Chaos with a Fast Blade

Chapter 297: Chapter 126: Heading South to Settle New Lands, Cutting Through the Chaos with a Fast Blade

December,

Light Snow,

In Baihua Manor, the maidservants were making dumplings.

The steam rising from the boiling pot mingled with the warmth of daily life;

A dumpling filled with broth also hid the charm of human life. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Although Xiao Ping’an didn’t understand what "Innate Shadow Blood" meant, he knew it was a powerful talent.

Every day he would ask, "Sister, when is Sister coming back?"

Li Yuan didn’t immediately bring Tang Nian and Xiaozhao back, because he feared the Vice Hall Master might launch a surprise attack.

He manipulated the gray Ninth Grade Demon Sparrow hidden among the misty reeds at the Long Sleep River, cautiously watching the departing boat. Suddenly... a chilling light flew from afar, directly exploding his Ninth Grade Demon Sparrow.

His two black birds on the outer layer witnessed the tragedy, and then discovered that the one that shot down the Ninth Grade Demon Sparrow was a chopstick...

Clearly, that chopstick was shot by Lady Hall Master.

The chopstick should be the utensil the boatman used for meals on the little boat...

This truly gave Li Yuan quite a fright.

However, the boat continued to sail away without turning back.

Lady Hall Master merely eliminated a spy.

She had reached an extremely sensitive level to the "area being watched" around her, which served as a lesson and a reminder to Li Yuan:

Perhaps, one should not easily let their perception go loose, especially in places teeming with experts.

Ordinary people rely mainly on vision, and when someone is being watched, they naturally feel it.

But High Grade Martial Artists don’t rely solely on sight; their perception has reached an astonishing level.

Li Yuan, being Sixth Grade, could already see things miles away with great clarity, so if someone looked at him from miles away, he could sense it too.

In busy streets, it was manageable as the crowd diluted it;

But in this deserted ferry, such perception became particularly keen...

Li Yuan dared not let the birds look in the direction the boat went, only allowing them to circle around.

Meanwhile, he promptly supplemented with a Ninth Grade Demon Sparrow, as his undercover agent.

However, "Color-changing Demon Sparrow" was quite rare, so the Ninth Grade Demon Sparrow replenished was much more ordinary.

...

Two days later...

After confirming Gu Xuejian was completely gone, Li Yuan went to the Black Market Ghost Realm and brought back the two daughters.

To Li Yuan’s surprise, the two daughters, who had varying degrees of introversion, unexpectedly took to each other.

If not for this period of independent time, the two girls might still be doing their own thing even living in the same big courtyard.

But in the Black Market Ghost Realm, something inexplicably happened that made their relationship very good, whispering together, being secretive about something unknown.

Upon returning to Baihua Manor, the two girls ran towards Tang Nian’s big house.

One tall, one short, one a young lady, one a little girl, trailed by a large, expressionless man "Tang Chou".

"Tang Chou" carried a heavy iron box larger than a person, clunking sounds emanating from it, evidently filled with various puppet equipment.

Subsequently, they entered the large house.

Before the door shut, a hand reached out to hang a sign reading "In Seclusion, Do Not Disturb".

Immediately after, the door was shut tight and locked.

Xiao Ping’an, having heard that his sister was back, was very happy, hands behind his back, head held high, with a wooden blade on his back, he happily went to find his sister.

Xiaojie was chasing closely behind, calling, "Young master, young master, don’t run so fast."

Xiao Ping’an didn’t listen.

Xiaojie called again, "Young master, why are you running so fast?"

But with a change in phrasing, Xiao Ping’an stopped in his tracks, as he liked solving other’s puzzles, then said, "Some things, it’s about time sister knows."

Xiaojie was momentarily stunned, wanting to laugh but holding it in seriously.

She hadn’t been with the young master for just a day or two and naturally knew the young master’s temperament, so mimicked his phrasing, "The young lady will surely be very happy."

Xiao Ping’an continued running with his hands behind his back, he had to let sister know.

He, Li Ping’an, possessed the terrifying "Innate Shadow Blood."

But when Xiao Ping’an reached that big house and saw the wooden token hanging on the door.

He recognized the four big characters on the wooden token "In Seclusion, Do Not Disturb" since he learned to read early.

Xiao Ping’an felt troubled, he thought about it but still went to knock on the door.

However, the two girls inside might have been too focused and completely didn’t hear his knocking.

And Xiaojie didn’t dare to call...

So, Xiao Ping’an came full of joy, but left disappointed,

He wanted to show off, but failed.

The little child felt the great malice.

Then, Xiao Ping’an began looking forward to his sister coming out for meals.

But the food was actually brought in by others.

Having no choice, Xiao Ping’an would check every day between practicing the blade.

Among family, there should be no secrets.

He must let the woman who once mocked him as a crybaby know,

He, Li Ping’an, is the greatest blade in the world, possessing "Innate Shadow Blood."

That day, after practicing the "Nameless Blade Skill" with a terrifying name but no lethal power at all, he ran to the big house again, looking at that door with hopeful eyes.

He hoped the door would open, and his sister would walk out.

Today was somewhat different from the past.

A little while later, strange, mixed sounds came from the big house.

The sound was like the friction of a dull knife cutting meat, like the grating twist of steel that set one’s teeth on edge, like a heavy object being repeatedly lifted and smashed down...

Different sounds mixed together.

Suddenly, the big house began to shudder, the tiles on the roof started to "rustle" with vibrations.

Xiao Ping’an was stunned, his small face showing a look of fright, his mouth slowly opening wide.
