Chapter 39 - Fighting

The residents of North Mountain Village clenched their teeth and glared fiercely at the folks from South Mountain Village.

“Nonsense! We were the ones who killed the Cloud Pigeon. You're the ones trying to steal our catch!” Tie Ta bellowed in anger, though a hint of uncertainty flickered in his eyes.

At that moment, all the men of North Mountain Village shared Tie Ta's sentiment, feeling somewhat sheepish.

“Perhaps the Cloud Pigeon was indeed hunted by someone from South Mountain Village. After all, no matter how powerful the Immortal Master is, it seems improbable for him to accurately strike and kill a fleeing Cloud Pigeon from such a distance and amidst so many obstacles, especially using stones as his weapon!”

Such were the thoughts running through the minds of the North Mountain Village men.

Their looks towards Jiaang Lin were now tinged with complexity. They had believed in Jiaang Lin's strength, but they hadn't anticipated that he would lead them into such a grand misunderstanding. What's more, because of Jiaang Lin, they had managed to antagonize South Mountain Village, a formidable community second only to the largest in the region.

Among the five villages near Green Mountain, North Mountain Village was barely a blip. Indeed, its population didn't even match that of a minor family from South Mountain Village!

If North Mountain Village truly angered South Mountain Village, with its notorious reputation, they would be in for some serious trouble.

Furthermore, there were rumors of South Mountain Village's ties with the Green Mountain Sect. Cultivators from the sect were said to be stationed in the village year-round, and each year, exceptionally gifted youths from the village were recruited directly into the Green Mountain Sect. They recalled their last hunting expedition into the mountains when they encountered Zhang Wu from South Mountain Village. He had warned them against venturing into the mountain's inner reaches. Had it not been for Jiaang Lin's encouragement, they would never have dared to tread so far.

“Big Brother Tie Ta…” Shen Danian subtly nudged Tie Ta from behind and called out softly.

Shen Danian was hinting at Tie Ta to back down, but Tie Ta, understanding Shen Danian's intent, chose to ignore it and kept his defiant gaze locked on Zhang Wu, convinced that the Cloud Pigeon was Jiaang Lin's quarry.

“Hmph! Tie Ta, it seems you've grown weary of life!”

Zhang Wu's expression chilled as he sneered, “Since you don't believe me, prepare to be disappointed!”

With that, Zhang Wu directed everyone's attention to Zou Lieh, who was observing the scene with a detached air, casually flicking his folding fan with an air of serene confidence.

“Take a good look! This is Young Master Zou Lieh of our South Mountain Village, a prodigious disciple of the Green Mountain Sect. He has even been taken as a direct disciple by an elder of the sect, and his potential is boundless!”

Zhang Wu let out another cold laugh and added, “Young Master Zou Lieh employed an immortal technique to hunt down this Cloud Pigeon. Are you still going to insist that it was your North Mountain Village that made the kill?”

“This…”

Zhang Wu's challenge left all the men from North Mountain Village speechless.

Just then, a crisp, disdainful voice cut through the tension.

“Hmph, as if any of you South Mountain Village louts have any real talent,” Qiu Xiya said, casting a contemptuous glance at Zou Lieh. “Hehe, South Mountain Village must be so proud to have finally produced a sissy. Congratulations indeed!”

“What did you say?”

Zhang Wu and Shen Danian roared in response to Qiu Xiya's taunt.

But as they caught sight of Qiu Xiya's enchantingly beautiful face, they were momentarily transfixed, their minds seemingly ensnared by a swirling vortex.
