Chapter 43: Hiding From the Rain in the Village

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As they watched the blood constantly wriggling and changing in the air, the people around finally realized what was happening. They trembled and knelt down one after another.

“G-greetings, Immortal!”

This town was one of the closest mortal towns to the Blood God Sect, about four hundred miles away.

Although the disciples of the Blood God Sect rarely came here, there was still some information.

Legend had it that there were immortals who could control blood.

“Don’t get in my way if you don’t want to die.”

After saying this, Zhang Chen mounted his horse and galloped out of the city.

It was only after the sound of the horse’s hooves faded away that the people dared to stand up and discuss with lingering fear.

“I didn’t expect him to be an immortal!”

“The son of a county magistrate actually dared to snatch an immortal’s horse.

He really deserved it.”

“The constable also wanted to arrest the immortal. He also deserved to die.” “By the way, shopkeeper, what’s your relationship with the immortal?”

Zhang Chen rode his horse and galloped towards the direction where Xu Yixian assigned the city.

With the saddle, it was indeed much more comfortable, and he didn’t have to clamp his legs tightly for fear of falling off.

The road ahead, between two mountains, was a good ambush spot.

At this moment, a group of bandits were ambushing on both sides of the road, waiting for a fat sheep to pass by.

“Clatter, clatter, clatter…”

“There’s the sound of horse hooves, get ready!”

The bandits sharpened their senses and watched the direction where the sound came from.

At first glance, it was just a black dot in the distance.

However, when they took a second look, they could already see the person’s clothes clearly.

At the third glance, the person was only 200 feet away from them.

Before they could react, Zhang Chen had already whizzed past, leaving only dust in his wake.

“So fast!” When the bandits regained their senses, all they could hear was the sound of the horse’s hooves disappearing into the distance.

At the same time, they had a thought that the speed was so fast, it must be a divine horse, and worth a lot.

“We let a divine horse run away!” The leader of the bandits looked regretful.

If he knew who he was going to rob, he would probably be grateful for his good luck.

As Zhang Chen went deeper into the mortal world, more and more people saw his figure.

The name of the lightning-fast divine horse also began to spread.

Many horse lovers, upon hearing this, offered high rewards to buy it.

There were also many people prepared to intercept and snatch the divine horse, but they could not keep up with the speed of the demonic horse’s gallop.

If these people really caught up, Zhang Chen would not mind going on a killing spree.

In the evening, Zhang Chen looked up at the dark sky and knew that it was going to rain heavily.

Although he wouldn’t catch a cold, he didn’t like getting wet either.

“Let’s find a place to take shelter from the rain.”

Not long after, Zhang Chen arrived at a village.

There was another group of people seeking shelter from the rain

A young lady and her maidservants, an old butler-like man, and four guards.

Zhang Chen just casually glanced at them and didn’t pay much attention, dismounted, and walked into the village.

“What a handsome horse!” The four guards were mesmerized by the demonic horse and couldn’t take their eyes off it.

“Miss, that man looks so good!” The young lady and her maidservant stared at Zhang Chen.

The butler’s expression was solemn as he said softly to Miss, “Miss, stay away from that man. He has a strong scent of blood and is very dangerous.”

The young lady blushed as if her secret had been discovered, lowered her head, but still stole glances at Zhang Chen from time to time.

The maidservant, on the other hand, was a bit rebellious and pouted, “Uncle

Wu, how could such a good-looking young man be a bad person?”

“You don’t understand. Appearances can be deceiving.” The butler shook his head and sighed.

The maidservant pouted even more aggrievedly.

The four guards also conversed with each other like modern people seeing a sports car. “This is the first time I’ve seen such a handsome horse.”

“I once saw a fine horse that was worth a thousand taels, but it wasn’t as handsome as this one. Look at the horse’s legs. They’re sturdy and powerful. It must run very quickly.”

When the young lady heard this, she couldn’t help but be a little curious and asked the butler, “Uncle Wu, is that horse worth a thousand taels?”

The butler nodded. “If you meet someone who loves horses, someone will buy it even if it’s a thousand taels of gold.”

The young lady covered her mouth in shock. Her family was considered rich, but she might not be able to take out a thousand taels of gold.

The maidservant seemed to have thought of something and whispered something in the young lady’s ear.

The maid whispered something in the young lady’s ear, making her blush with anger, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

In the village, Zhang Chen saw an old man and asked him, “Excuse me, old man, it’s going to rain soon. I would like to stay in your village overnight to avoid the rain. Do you have any vacant rooms? I can pay.”

“No need for money. Many people in the village have moved away, and there are plenty of empty houses. If you don’t mind, I can show you one,” the old man said warmly.

“Thank you, sir,” Zhang Chen replied gratefully.

Just then, the butler and his companions approached the old man and asked, “Sir, we are also here to seek shelter from the rain. Can you help us find an empty room?”

“It’s really lively today!” the old man smiled. “Follow me, I’ll show you to a vacant house. ”

During this process, Zhang Chen frowned slightly. He could sense that many villagers were hiding and watching him.

However, he didn’t think too much of it. It was normal for strangers to be curious about him.

Soon, the old man found them an uninhabited house to stay in.

Zhang Chen and the butler’s group were staying in houses on opposite sides of the road.

The house they were staying in had been vacant for a long time, covered in dust and cobwebs, and some of the furniture had rotted and grown mushrooms.

Zhang Chen did not mind and casually found a place to sit down. He took out a blood storage bottle and prepared to ingest the demon blood to refine it.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhang Chen put away the bottle, stood up, opened the door, and asked calmly,

“What’s the matter?”

“Master, our young lady saw that you didn’t bring any food, so she sent me to bring you some.” It was the maid who came.

“Thank you for your Miss’s kind intentions. I’m not hungry. Miss, It’s going to rain soon, so if there’s nothing else, please go back to avoid getting wet.” Zhang Chen calmly refused.

“Sorry to bother you, Young Master.” The maidservant turned around and left in disappointment.

Zhang Chen closed the door and took out the blood storage bottle again. He swallowed the demon blood to refine it.

With the modifier, immortality was within reach, but women would only bring him trouble. “Pa, pa, pa, pa…”

Raindrops hit the roof, making a pitter-patter sound.

Although the rain was heavy, the villagers braved it and gathered together.

This was a temple. On the plaque was written ‘Goddess’, consecrating a statue of a woman inside.

However, the statue was very strange. Its body was twisted, as if it was struggling and resisting, and its eyes were full of resentment.

The old man who led the way for Zhang Chen said, “A few outsiders came to seek shelter from the rain today. One group had four guards. It was not easy to deal with them, so I could only bring them to an empty room to stay.”

“Then send them some wedding candles and a wedding blanket.” A villager grinned.

The old man looked at the statue with a pained expression. “If we hadn’t done that thing back then, perhaps so many people wouldn’t have died.”

Hearing this, all the villagers fell silent.

Twenty years ago, they encountered a severe drought, and their crops failed.

Just as they were about to leave their homes and seek a new life, a Daoist priest came to their village and offered a solution.

As long as they made a statue out of a woman born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour on the day of a yin year, yin month, and yin hour wedding, and then worshipped it every year, they would have rain every year..
