Upon entering the village, Wang Han found it peaceful and serene. Even though this was the border between the Han Kingdom and the Baiyue Kingdom, a relatively chaotic place, this village was an exception. The atmosphere in the village was peaceful, and the people's faces were unusually filled with smiles. Clearly, they were living quite well in this chaotic area.
In the center of the village, a young man in plain clothes with a sword at his waist was directing the able-bodied men and children in the village to practice swordsmanship.
Under the command of the young man in plain clothes, the able-bodied men and children stood in neat rows, their wooden swords rising and falling repeatedly. Their formation even resembled a three-part military formation. The village's peace and tranquility, untouched by the surrounding bandits, was likely due to this young man in grey.
However, while this young man could deceive others, he couldn't deceive Wang Han. Upon closer inspection, Wang Han noticed two pieces of information appearing around the young man.
Li Wei, male, 24 years old, is possessed and being controlled.
'Parasite Soul, an unnatural energy entity, one of its split forms, age two. Abilities: Dormancy, concealment.' (The identification feature requires the target to use their abilities and skills to be identified. This setting avoids providing too much information.)
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with? Would you like to join our family?" The young man in gray asked Wang Han politely, his refined manner setting a good example in this chaotic world. If Wang Han didn't know the true nature of the parasitic soul, he would have suspected it had changed its nature.
“I’m here for two things. First, what is your purpose in doing this? Didn’t you become stronger through killing? Given your nature, I don’t think you’ve changed your ways,” Wang Han asked.
Upon hearing this, the gray-clad youth's pupils immediately contracted, and the sword in his hand, covered with powerful sword energy, thrust towards Wang Han without hesitation.
"Clang." A hand covered in jet-black Armament Haki easily grasped the gray-clad youth's sword.
"It seems you're not going to tell me, and I didn't have much hope anyway. But based on your actions, I can roughly guess some things. Now, the second thing is to kill you," Wang Han said, his Miao sword instantly appearing in his hand. Before the parasitic soul could react, he killed it with a single strike.
"Master!" Seeing the gray-clad youth suddenly cleaved in two by Wang Han's sword, the able-bodied men and children practicing swords cried out in grief, all grabbing their wooden swords and surrounding Wang Han. Villagers who witnessed the scene also picked up their farm tools and gathered around. To them, what others did was irrelevant, what the young man had done was none of their concern; all they knew was that this young man had protected their village.
"Are you courting death?" Wang Han's murderous intent gleamed as he looked at the people surrounding him. "Do you want me to grant your wish?"
The murderous aura, as cold as winter, immediately calmed the bloodshot-eyed people. Now that they were calm, they felt Wang Han's terrifying killing intent and were filled with fear; none of them dared to step forward.
"Hmph!" Wang Han snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Suddenly, rockets shot towards Wang Han from a distance, and behind the frightened villagers, several figures rushed out.
"The Baiyue Heavenly Group." Looking at the figures rushing towards him, especially the familiar big guy Wushuang, Wang Han's lips curled into a smile, and his figure disappeared instantly.
