Li Si got up and went out to greet A Mao.

"What on earth happened? Why are people coming to cause trouble in our remote mountain village?"

"What do you mean by 'crashing the party'?" A Mao asked, puzzled.

"Uh, it means causing trouble!"

Li Sisui explained somewhat awkwardly that although he had been here for more than two months and was gradually getting used to life here, he still occasionally uttered words that the villagers couldn't understand. This made the villagers think that Li Sisui liked to talk nonsense and was silly. Fortunately, the village was collectively owned, and all the villagers' earnings were managed by the village. Everyone was equal and got along well, so they didn't mind Li Sisui's incomprehensible words.

"I'm not entirely sure why, but I saw more and more people gathering and thought there would be some excitement, so I sneaked over to call you. I didn't call you for free, you have to tell me a new story!"

"no problem!"

Li Sisui chuckled and agreed. In exchange for information about this world, Li Sisui would tell Amao stories about his previous world. Most of his knowledge about this world came from Amao's narration.

Li Si followed Amao to the village entrance. From a distance, they saw an old man in shabby clothes standing there, wearing a worn-out hat, talking to the village elder. Some villagers were watching. In their eyes, they rarely saw the village elder, let alone the village elder coming forward to resolve something.

As Li Si approached, he heard the disheveled old man say:

"It's been many years since we last met, and you're still as stubborn as ever. What's wrong with the Nine Dragons Sect? It's the head of the three sects, governing thousands of miles. As long as you join, you'll be appointed as the sect leader. What an honor that is! Under the Nine Dragons Sect, the sect leader will command thousands of disciples and dominate a region. Isn't that better than guarding this dilapidated village for the sake of a dead man's vow?"

"Old Toad, you betrayed Hidden Dragon Village for your own selfish desires. Our previous friendship is now completely wiped away. The senior has shown me great kindness, and I will repay even the smallest kindness with boundless gratitude. How could a greedy scoundrel like you understand? I don't know why you've come today, but I will absolutely not let you succeed!"

The village elder's expression was indifferent, but he could not hide the anger in his heart.

"Hmph! If I hadn't reported Hidden Dragon Village to the Nine Dragons Sect, how would you have received their protection? Now, you are the ones who don't know how to repay kindness! Don't stop me. Wait until I go to that person's cave to meditate for a while, and you'll know why I'm here today!"

The old toad didn't say much to the village elder. Suddenly, a pair of light wings appeared on his back. The light wings moved without wind, and various patterns were drawn on them. They were indescribably exquisite. There were also some starlight flashing around the light wings. The light wings stretched out and were about three meters long. However, such an exquisite pair of light wings was growing on the back of such a lewd old man, which made Li Sisui feel that it was a waste of nature's resources.

The old toad didn't even glance at the village elder. With a flash of its wings, it prepared to soar into the sky and head straight for the back mountain.

Without any visible movement from the village elder, his white robe suddenly billowed without wind. Li Sisui suddenly felt the sky darken, as if day had turned into night. Then, he saw the old toad's previously swift speed slow down, and finally it flew backwards towards the village elder. The village elder raised an arm, his five fingers slightly spread, and a surge of powerful light energy flowed from his palm, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while simultaneously drawing the old toad closer and closer.

The old toad struggled desperately, but still couldn't escape the village elder's grasp. His pockmarked face turned bright red, and he roared:

"I respect you and call you Village Elder out of consideration for our brotherhood, but don't push your luck! I'm only going to that ruined place today to meditate for a while and seek a chance for a breakthrough. I have no other intentions. Don't try to stop me, or don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

While struggling to control his body, the old toad hovered in mid-air, maintaining a certain distance from the village elder. After saying those words, he seemed to have gained more confidence and actually took the initiative to approach the village elder.

The village elder didn't seem to intend to kill him, but merely restricted his movements. After hearing the old toad's words, the village elder's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said:

"Do you think I don't know your own limitations? Although you've broken through to the second level of the Origin Movement, you're still no match for me. You'd better leave quickly; I don't want to see you again. Otherwise, I'll be the one who turns on you without hesitation!"

The old toad groaned inwardly. He had hoped to regain his lost face by relying on the banner of the Nine Dragons Sect, but he did not expect that the village elder's cultivation was still above his own. Although he had cultivated in the Nine Dragons Sect for several years and made great progress in his cultivation, he still could not shake the village elder. The old toad couldn't help but feel powerless. Was everything I did before wrong?

A moment later, a shadow crossed the old toad's face, and his eyes suddenly became frighteningly gloomy.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The village elder was bewildered by the old toad's unusual behavior, uttering three "good"s in a row. Now, the two stood facing each other, the old toad's wings of light still vibrating, as if it could soar into the sky at any moment. The villagers who had initially gathered to watch had long since dispersed, peeking out from distant corners. Only Li Sisui remained a short distance away, his face flushed with excitement.

"This is like a real-life 3D movie! It's so exciting! Where on earth did I transmigrate to? These people are so awesome, flying through the air with wings of light on their backs! Is this a movie shoot?" Li Sisui thought excitedly.

What he saw today lessened Li Sisui's attachment to his original world, and the new things also showed Li Sisui the wonder of this world.

After a moment of silence, seeing that the village elder remained unmoved, the old toad suddenly raised its head and let out a long croak:

"Since things have come to this, I'll destroy this village first, then I can go and study it. I'll show you the power of the Nine Dragons Sect. Come out, Earth Dragon!"
