Chapter 105: Fierceheart's Ferocity, Her Infamy Spreads! Exorcising Evil and Upholding the Dao? (Part 1)
Fierceheart?
What kind of name is that?
The two guards exchanged a glance, but the record-keeper could only write it down as such.
After all, in this era, there were no ID cards, no population census, and certainly no interconnected information systems. They couldn't possibly interrogate every individual who passed through.
Moreover, the gap between the common folk and the immortals was immense.
Ordinary people were like ants, while immortals towered above them.
The lives of ordinary people were as fragile as paper, and many lacked any form of education, unable to even recognize their own names. It was unrealistic to expect them to come up with decent names.
Names like Dog Egg, Donkey Ball, and Horse Manure were not uncommon.
And these were considered the better ones.
Some names were even more appalling, too indecent to mention.
Upon reflection, the name Fierceheart didn't seem so strange after all.
However, for such a beautiful young girl, an obvious beauty in the making, to be named Fierceheart felt rather incongruous.
"Fierceheart, pay the city entry fee."
"One silver coin."
"You want an entry fee?"
YaYa frowned.
"Of course! After entering the city, your safety is guaranteed. We, the city guards, risk our lives to protect you from the bandits and villains outside. It's only natural that you pay a fee."
A passerby mocked, "Where did this wild girl come from? She doesn't even know the basic rules."
"That dress of yours, did you steal it?"
YaYa ignored the mocker.
"I don't have any silver."
"No silver?"
The two guards immediately lost their temper, "What are you doing here if you don't have any silver?"
"Get lost!"
"Jinx!"
"Hold on," YaYa reached into her waist pouch and pulled out an object, placing it before the guards, "I don't have silver, but I have this."
"Please take a look, sirs."
"Don't play games with us..."
Their expressions changed instantly.
"Essence Stones?!"
They were shocked beyond words!
These were Essence Stones, the currency of the immortals!
One Essence Stone could be exchanged for at least a thousand taels of Snowflake Silver, and very few people would sell them.
Not only was she not paying the entry fee, but she could also afford to hire assassins to kill the two guards a hundred times over!
Greed consumed them in an instant.
But soon, they calmed down, their bodies trembling.
Essence Stones were undoubtedly valuable, and even if they split one between them, it would be enough for three generations to live comfortably.
But...
They dared not accept it!
Without silver, she could casually produce an Essence Stone, and she seemed unaware of the city entry fee...
Could she be an ordinary person?
Moreover, Fierceheart's clothing was extravagant, unlike anything from the mortal realm. Combined with other peculiar details, it was clear she wasn't some mountain girl.
She was more like an immortal descending upon the mortal world!
The guards recalled a legend.
Once, in a similar city, someone had tried to rob an outsider of their Essence Stones, but by the next day, the entire city had been reduced to ruins, with no survivors.
The reason? The victim was an immortal!
Although immortals and mortals were distinct, and immortals rarely appeared in mortal gatherings, accidents could happen.
Perhaps they were on a casual stroll.
Regardless, it wasn't impossible for an immortal to appear here!
"And..."
The record-keeper lowered his voice, his hands trembling, "That cloth bag on her waist, it looks soft and empty, but she can take out Essence Stones from it. It must be a treasure of the immortals."
"The legendary storage bag?"
Upon hearing this, the guards were even more astonished, "It must be an immortal!"
They quickly approached, holding the Essence Stone with reverence, bowing deeply as they returned it to the young girl. They didn't dare lift their heads or look directly at her.
Their hearts were filled with fear.
They worried that their earlier attitude might have offended the immortal, inviting disaster.
"You won't accept it?"
The young girl took back the Essence Stone, a little surprised.
"No, ah, I mean..."
"You're just joking, sirs. There's no need for an entry fee for me to enter the city."
"It's our honor to have you in our city."
"You, you're inviting us in?!"
The guards nodded and bowed, almost kneeling before her.
The young girl remained expressionless and entered the city.
The guards dared not breathe until she was out of sight, finally exhaling in relief. They had nearly suffocated themselves.
"My, oh my!"
"An immortal has descended!"
"Truly an immortal, with such composure at a young age, and she doesn't even understand our mortal customs..."
"You know nothing!" The record-keeper, a scholar, exclaimed, "She's an immortal, high above us. Why would she bother with mortal rules? If she's unhappy, a wave of her hand could destroy an entire city or even a country!"
"Besides, do you really think she's that young?"
"Immortals have ways to preserve their youth. With sufficient cultivation, even at a thousand or ten thousand years old, they can still appear youthful!"
"True, but living for ten thousand years is terrifying!"
"Enough, don't gossip about immortals behind their backs, or you might bring disaster upon yourselves!"
"Oh no!"
Suddenly, one of the guards paled, slapping his thigh, "I must inform the others who lack foresight, or they might bring destruction upon themselves."
"Yes, yes!"
The scholar also realized the gravity of the situation and cursed, "Those blind fools! If they want to die, that's their business, but don't drag us down with them!"
"My family is in the city!"
"Spread the news quickly!"
Anxious, they left the scholar to record while the other two rushed to spread the word.
Soon, the news spread throughout the city: an immortal had descended, a young girl of thirteen or fourteen, dressed extravagantly with a cold demeanor. Most people were shocked and found it hard to believe.
The city lord's mansion was bustling with guests, all gathered to celebrate the young master's return from his cultivation journey. The city lord, beaming with pride, proclaimed, "Thanks to all of you for gracing us with your presence. My son's successful cultivation will surely bring great fame to our city. With his rise, our Falling Leaf City will also flourish!"
"By investing now, you will reap a thousandfold return in the future!" he added.
Beside him stood a proud young man, silent but exuding an astonishing aura that left everyone in awe.
"A cultivator!" they exclaimed. It was rumored that over a decade ago, this young man had been chosen by a cultivator and taken away. Now, after more than ten years of cultivation, he had returned, having joined a prestigious sect.
At that moment, a city guard burst into the hall, "News has just arrived that a cultivator has entered the city!"
"A cultivator?" they asked, taken aback.
"Your information is outdated," someone laughed. "The young master has been back for three days, and you're only hearing about it now?"
But as soon as he spoke, he noticed the city lord and the proud cultivators turning pale. Realizing his mistake, he quickly covered his mouth.
"Interesting, very interesting," the proud cultivator said with a smile. "I've been away for so long, and just three days after my return, a cultivator arrives?"
"Indeed, it's intriguing!"
The city lord laughed heartily. "This proves that my son is blessed by heaven itself!"
"For many years, no cultivator has set foot in Falling Leaf City. My son's return and this cultivator's arrival are signs of his extraordinary fortune and destiny!"
The guests were impressed by the city lord's boasting.
"If other cultivators heard this," someone whispered, "they would be envious. Imagine having such a talented son. He's younger than us, yet he's aged decades in just a few nights, all because of the cultivator he met."
Rumors spread...
These past nights, he's been with countless women.
Damn, we wish we could do the same! But we're old, and our bodies can't keep up. We can only shed tears of longing.
Their envy grew as they traveled.
"Oh?"
Zhuo Bufan was surprised. "A young girl offering a whole essence stone without understanding its value?"
He suspected this girl was no ordinary being. Even if she were naive, he wouldn't have offered an essence stone so casually.
"Essence stones are hard to come by," he thought. "This girl must be of noble birth. We must befriend her, not antagonize her."
As he pondered, they soon found the young girl.
Her exceptional presence was undeniable.
Though not a true cultivator, her demeanor and attire exuded an extraordinary aura that commanded attention.
Zhuo Bufan immediately released his divine sense to gauge her cultivation level—a common practice to avoid misunderstandings.
But as he sensed her from a distance, something unexpected happened.
"This can't be!"
"She's not a cultivator!"
The guests were stunned.
"Not a cultivator?!"
"Just a rumor?"
"If so, this girl is extraordinary. She looks like a banished immortal, but she's not one!"
"If she's not a cultivator, may I have her?" an elder asked, his eyes gleaming with desire. "I find her demeanor captivating."
"Get lost, you old turtle! Do you want to take her to a brothel? Her quality is enviable. You'd waste her potential!"
"In my opinion..."
"Silence!"
Zhuo Bufan's cold hum silenced them instantly.
They stifled their protests, as if their hearts had been punched, their faces turning pale.
"Do you want to die?"
"I wasn't finished!"
"She's not a cultivator, but her entire body is adorned with treasures. From her clothing to her accessories and even her seemingly ordinary shoes..."
"An ordinary girl with so many treasures. How dare you lay a hand on her?!"
Zhuo Bufan smirked. "Not just her backer, but the treasures protecting her are enough to ensure your deaths. You know nothing about cultivators!"
The guests shivered, nearly scared out of their wits.
Cultivators were not to be trifled with. And to cultivate an ordinary person to such a level, adorning them with treasures, was even more awe-inspiring.
Seeing their fear, Zhuo Bufan narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
"Indeed, she's not a cultivator, but those treasures are enviable."
"If I'm not mistaken, they're..."
"Magic treasures!"
"And they're at least mid-grade!"
His master, a fourth-stage cultivator, only had one mid-grade magic treasure. When he saw it in action, it radiated a terrifying brilliance.
(Chapter End)
"The treasures on this little girl's body, each one of them, exudes a more astonishing aura than Master's middle-grade Magic Treasure. They must all be high-grade Magic Treasures!"
"A whole set of high-grade Magic Treasures!"
Greed swelled in his heart...
"If I can obtain them, my strength will instantly surge by more than tenfold!"
"Even fighting opponents beyond my level won't be a problem. Once I return to the sect, I might even be able to challenge for a Sequence position!"
"But if the powerful being behind her finds me..."
He hesitated.
Conflicted.
But in the end, greed took absolute control.
"No, I fear nothing!"
"Even though she has treasures protecting her, she's ultimately just a mortal, incapable of unleashing even half the power of those treasures. With my current strength, I can take her down in an instant!"
"As long as I'm discreet, I won't be discovered!"
"Even if I'm found out, so what?"
"After I get my hands on them, I'll immediately return to the Heavenly Wind Sect. There's a Fifth Firmament Realm Elder in the sect!"
"Even if the forces behind her are strong, with the sect's protection, I should be fine."
"If it's truly dangerous, I'll offer a couple of Magic Treasures..."
"That way, I can turn danger into safety!"
In an instant, he made up his mind.
"As for my parents and relatives..."
"Hmph, the immortal and mortal realms are separate. Since I've already stepped onto the Immortal Path, I must sever all mortal ties and extinguish the Seven Emotions and Six Desires!"
"This time, I've returned to cut off all relations with my family."
"If I succeed, even if someone comes to slaughter the city later, what does it have to do with me?"
He looked at his father, whose face was glowing red, and muttered, "Consider it your final contribution as parents to your immortal son."
"This is also your fortune."
At this thought, he burst into action. His cultivation at the first level of the Third Firmament Realm erupted in an instant as he rushed towards the little girl with murderous intent.
His speed was too fast.
At least for mortals, Zhuo Bufan's speed was no different from teleportation!
But...
The little girl kept up.
Although she had no cultivation, she had been nourished by Essence Spirit Qi all this time and had consumed high-quality pills like beans. Moreover, she had witnessed the power of Fifth and Sixth Firmament Realm cultivators more than once!
Not to mention, she wasn't entirely an ordinary mortal anymore.
"Hmm?"
Zhuo Bufan was slightly surprised to find the little girl's gaze locked onto him.
But that was all.
These high-grade Magic Treasures were his!
"Die!"
Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it gives its all!
He went all out, using his Divine Sense to attack the little girl's soul and unleashing his treasure techniques towards her body, intending to destroy both her physical form and soul!
However...
The ribbon tied around the little girl's head began to glow, and his Divine Sense attack seemed to sink into the abyss, with no response.
Then, a protective barrier automatically activated, and the treasure technique landed on the barrier, causing no ripples and dissipating instantly.
Subsequently, the barrier transformed on its own, giving birth to a terrifying offensive!
"Not good!!!"
"This isn't a high-grade Magic Treasure!"
"This???"
"Why does a mortal possess such treasures that can act on their own?"
Zhuo Bufan was dumbfounded.
With his knowledge, he couldn't comprehend any of this.
But he clearly felt the terror of the offensive, knowing that if it hit him, he would die!!!
Who exactly was this person???
At this moment, greed turned to relief, while Zhuo Bufan was filled with regret.
But it was already too late!
The offensive had taken form and was about to strike!
"Stop!"
Just then, the little girl spoke.
The offensive paused, holding back.
Zhuo Bufan's soul trembled.
A mortal, controlling treasures with words???
"Spirit Tool!"
Only Spirit Tools, with their innate spirits, could be so obedient and controllable with words, like an extension of one's arm!"
Fear spread in his heart.
Spirit Tools!!!
Such precious treasures were hard to find even within the entire Heavenly Wind Sect!
How could an ordinary mortal girl possess a Spirit Tool?!!!
The power behind her was likely countless times stronger than the Heavenly Wind Sect. Even if he succeeded, the sect couldn't protect him.
Regret.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
He must have been blinded by greed.
How dare he make a move against her?!!!
Thump!
He instantly knelt down, repeatedly kowtowing, "Spare me."
"Please, noble lady, spare me."
"I was blinded by greed, I deserve to die, but please, in the name of..."
Zhuo Bufan's father: "???"
The onlookers, still unaware of what had happened, wondered why Zhuo Bufan had suddenly attacked, the merchants and clan leaders: "???"
What???
What kind of development was this???
They couldn't understand.
Nor could they fathom it.
You kneel down and beg for mercy after a single glance? Then why did you take the initiative to attack?
But Zhuo Bufan had no mind to pay attention to their thoughts, only kowtowing and pleading.
The little girl approached without changing her expression, stepping in front of Zhuo Bufan.
Thud!
Zhuo Bufan kowtowed again, not daring to lift his head.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
The little girl's voice was crisp, carrying a chill.
"Blinded by greed, led astray by desire, I, a humble one, have now awakened. Please, noble lady, spare me."
"..."
"Should one kill because of greed?"
"Then you should die."
The little girl responded.
In fact, this was part of her plan, and a fish had taken the bait so quickly, a Third Firmament Realm cultivator at that.
Of course, she didn't know his realm, but it was definitely not above the Fourth Firmament Realm, or he wouldn't have knelt down so easily.
"This humble one deserves to die, but please, noble lady, consider the heavens' virtue of nurturing life, and that killing me will dirty your hands..."
"Indeed.
"The little girl whispered, "But even if the death penalty is waived, the living punishment is unavoidable."
"There must be a punishment."
"I accept the punishment!"
Zhuo Bufan shivered.
The little girl nodded, then reached into her storage bag and rummaged through it. Finally, she took out a talisman and was about to stick it on Zhuo Bufan's forehead.
Zhuo Bufan's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole.
He recognized this type of talisman.
Once it was affixed, he would be at her mercy!
"I'll take my chances!"
"At this distance, if I suddenly attack..
