Chapter 608 - 338: Eight-Armed Demon Monk!
Su Que was called by Tai Sui’s two henchmen, and he turned around.
The two approached Su Que.
One was named Zhao Hu, the other Zhang Long.
Zhao Hu was a slightly overweight and robust fellow, standing nine feet tall.
His somewhat dark face bore a bristling beard, each strand standing out, reminding Su Que of Zhang Fei and Zhong Kui from his past life.
Zhang Long, on the other hand, was a slim and middle-aged man with a stern face.
The lines beside his nose were deep, and his face bore a look of deep resentment, as if everyone owed him something.
Zhao Hu gave Su Que a salute: "Friend, is it your first time in Holy Immortal Village?"
Su Que nodded: "I wonder what guidance you could offer?"
Zhao Hu asked: "May I know what level of cultivation my friend has reached?"
Zhao Hu and Zhang Long tried to sense Su Que’s level of cultivation, but to no avail.
Typically, being unable to sense another’s cultivation indicates that their level is much higher than one’s own.
Alternatively, the other person might have cultivated methods to conceal their cultivation.
In the Upper Realm, methods to hide one’s cultivation are not uncommon.
However, not every cultivator is willing to train in them.
After all, cultivating such methods also requires time.
Many cultivators, especially those already within a faction, don’t often need to hide their cultivation.
They believe that instead of spending time on such methods, it’s more practical to enhance their strength.
Zhao Hu and Zhang Long were cultivators long attached to Holy Immortal Village and intended to remain under Tai Sui’s command.
They, and the people around them, wouldn’t spend time cultivating such methods.
Upon hearing Zhao Hu’s question, Su Que slightly frowned: "Friend, this question I will not answer to you."
Any normal cultivator wouldn’t easily reveal their level to others.
It seemed Zhao Hu had anticipated Su Que’s response, then added: "Our village leader invites you up."
Su Que replied: "Why?"
Zhao Hu said: "Just to make friends, nothing more."
Su Que shook his head: "Not interested."
With that, he intended to walk away.
Zhao Hu immediately glanced at Zhang Long, then moved to engage Su Que.
They wanted to test Su Que’s strength.
Zhao Hu was a master of martial arts.
As soon as he attacked, a tiger’s roar erupted from his body.
Two large hands like palm fans suddenly curved, transforming into tiger claws, reaching toward Su Que.
Zhang Long, who was skilled in techniques, formed a spell with his fingers.
As mana flowed, white energy emerged from his fingers, stretching toward Su Que like a rope.
These two had cultivation at the Fourth-Layer of the Realm of Merging.
Far too weak.
Su Que only needed to use his spirit to kill them on the spot.
However, if he displayed too strong a power, it would make the Sect Saint Demon Monk wary.
Perhaps, upon hearing of his strength, the Sect Saint Demon Monk wouldn’t even dare meet him and would flee directly.
Thus, Su Que controlled his strength.
He used the "Five-Thunder Annihilation Hand" slightly.
The hum of the Five Viscera arose, and electric threads crawled onto his hands.
His hands traced silhouettes in the air.
First, against Zhao Hu’s tiger claws as if a fierce tiger were descending the mountain.
Bam, bam, bam!
The thunder palm collided with the tiger claws several times. Su Que took a step back, while Zhao Hu retreated five steps, electric threads crawling over his body, with several parts of his clothing already charred.
Immediately after, Su Que used the "Five-Thunder Annihilation Hand" again, grabbing at Zhang Long’s white energy.
Threads of lightning struck the white energy.
With a puff, the white energy dissipated into smoke.
Zhang Long’s technique was broken, and his slim frame shuddered.
After a few exchanges with Su Que, Zhao Hu estimated Su Que’s strength.
’Fifteenth-Layer of the Realm of Merging...’
’Could hold a seat at the mountain village.’
With this thought, Zhao Hu saluted Su Que.
"Friend, our leader Tai Sui sincerely wishes to meet you."
"With your strength, you could easily hold a seat in our Holy Immortal Village."
"It seems you are also a loose cultivator. Why not stay in our Holy Immortal Village and follow our leader Tai Sui?"
"Our Holy Immortal Village is rich in spiritual qi and is a contested power between Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court."
"It’s precisely because of the competition between these two forces that our Holy Immortal Village has developed."
Zhao Hu spoke at length.
Su Que then feigned a look of serious consideration.
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, Su Que, with a deep gaze, thought for a while and then said:
"Alright, I will go with you to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu and Zhang Long exchanged glances, their eyes brightening.
Successfully bringing a master up to the village meant they would receive more cultivation resources from Tai Sui.
"Friend, this way please!"
Zhao Hu gestured to Su Que, then stepped aside to lead the way.
Su Que followed Zhao Hu toward the center of the village.
The center of the village was also a small fortified city.
Intricately carved patterns on the city walls shimmered with mana.
From Zhao Hu’s and Zhang Long’s memories, Su Que learned that, in case of incidents, the patterns could be activated to release a protective barrier.
The city walls were also guarded by cultivators.
Reporting to Zhao Hu and Zhang Long, Su Que was able to enter the city without obstruction.
Su Que, from memory, knew.
The people living within these walls were those who occupied a seat in the village, along with their families.
Su Que walked inside.
The inside of the walls was quieter than outside.
Because outside there were markets, gambling dens, brothels, etc., inside the walls were entirely residences.
The gates of the residences were closed, and occasionally someone would come out.
