Chapter 265 The Debt-Collecting Brat (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)

Perfect World, Wilderness.

Located in a remote corner on the border of the Kingdom of Stone, this place is home to several villages and a town of considerable size, standing out conspicuously in the vast and sparsely populated western frontier region.

In fact, this situation was not accidental, but rather deliberately arranged by someone.

Because this is an ancestral home of the Stone Clan, although it has been in ruins for a long time, it has a very special symbolic meaning. Therefore, the Stone Clan's high-ranking officials established these towns and villages to form a relatively complete settlement and provide for them.

However, as time passed, this ancestral land was gradually forgotten by the Stone Clan. Later, they simply used it as a place of exile, sending some people who had high status in the Stone Clan but had committed serious offenses to this place, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Of course, those who know, know. Those who have committed serious offenses are merely losers in a power struggle. They are forcibly labeled as sinners by the victors, but only a few people know the actual situation.

"Sigh, this place is getting more and more lifeless. Now even the last old man is about to die. I wonder who will be able to protect that poor child in the future."

Just as dawn was breaking, an old man drove a cart carrying wild animals toward the ancestral land, bringing fruit, game, and other food.

The old man's surname was Hai, and he was called Uncle Hai by acquaintances. He appeared unremarkable on the surface, but his cultivation was quite remarkable. He had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which would make him a master among rogue cultivators.

Unfortunately, in the face of such a behemoth as the Stone Clan, Old Man Hai was merely a slightly larger ant and dared not interfere openly in their affairs. Therefore, he could only sigh and continue driving the beast-drawn cart forward.

However, Old Man Hai secretly made up his mind that if the old man in the village really couldn't hold on any longer, he would sneak into the village and take the poor child away to prevent him from falling into the hands of those beasts.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

Although the old manor was dilapidated, there were still some servants gossiping inside, and with his cultivation, he could always hear them from afar.

But today, the village was unusually quiet; apart from the sounds of birds and beasts, there was not a sound to be heard.

"The smell of blood?!"

Old Hai sniffed, his expression changed drastically, and he threw down the whip, dashing towards the village ahead. His agility was unlike that of an elderly man over sixty.

However, upon seeing the scene in the village, Old Hai immediately stopped in his tracks, frozen in place.

The dilapidated manor looked as if it had been trampled by some ferocious beast, with signs of destruction and vandalism everywhere. Among the ruins were blood and severed limbs, all belonging to the manor's servants.

Most of them were relatively young, having only started working at the estate a few years ago. But the old man knew that these servants had been specially sent to monitor the child and had been secretly plotting to kill him over the years.

But now, they are all dead, and their deaths are so gruesome that it is almost impossible to find a single intact body.

Old Hai felt a chill in his heart. He didn't care about the life or death of these unruly servants, but he was very concerned about the safety of the only old man and the child left in the manor. So he hurriedly went into the manor to look for the two of them.

But soon, the old man spotted several familiar figures deep within the inner courtyard of the manor.

They were servants who had been banished here decades ago along with several old Stone Clan members. They were extremely loyal and among the few who would take care of the child.

Upon seeing them, Old Man Hai was both surprised and delighted, and immediately asked what had happened and how Little Stone... also known as Wu Xian, who was considered "Shi Hao," was doing.

"Uh, the young master..."

When an old servant heard Hai Laobo's question, he blinked and then said in a somewhat evasive tone, "You might not believe it, but all those things outside were done by the young master."

"What?!"

Old Hai was taken aback when he heard this, then scratched his ear and asked again, "I don't think I heard you clearly just now, could you say it again?" "You heard me right, those were all done by the young master."

The old servant smiled wryly and explained the whole story in detail.

It turned out that around 4 a.m. this morning, Wu Xian woke up, and the old servant who had been living in the same room with him and taking care of his daily life also woke up. He thought that the child was hungry and was going to the kitchen to find food, so he followed him.

But who would have thought that after leaving his room, the young master did not go to the kitchen, but instead walked to the outer courtyard of the manor. Then, under the dumbfounded gaze of the old servant, he dismantled a huge pillar that required two people to hug with his bare hands and began smashing it against the surrounding Xia Ji.

Before long, the entire outer courtyard was reduced to ruins, and the wicked servants who were responsible for monitoring them were smashed into mincemeat amidst their cries of agony and pleas for mercy; not a single one was left alive.

"hiss--!!"

Old Hai gasped, imagining a five- or six-year-old child wielding a giant pillar, sweeping across the land. His old face twitched slightly.

“Those unruly servants in the outer courtyard are not ordinary people without cultivation. Although the strongest among them is only at the Blood Transformation Realm, they shouldn’t be so weak…”

Could it be that Little Stone's cultivation has reached the Cave Heaven Realm? But I clearly didn't sense any trace of cultivation from him before!"

Thinking of this, Old Man Hai looked towards the depths of the inner courtyard and asked, "Where is your ancestor? And Little Stone? Is he in the courtyard now?"

"The old ancestor had already woken up, but the young master came over earlier and said he wanted to treat the old ancestor's illness, so he fell asleep again, but his complexion did improve a lot."

The old servant shook his head and said with a wry smile, "As for the young master, he said he was going out to find someone to collect debts, and he left the manor half an hour ago."

"Debt collection?"

As Old Hai muttered those two words, for some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

……

Chongyun Town, or it could also be called a city, has a population of 80,000. Its geographical location is very important. It is an important town on the border of the Shi Kingdom and a dangerous pass under the central city of this region.

For the past hundred years or so, powerful alien races have occasionally invaded, but each time they have been stopped by the experts and spirits of Chongyun Town, and have never succeeded.

On this day, outside the town gate of Chongyun Town, a child who looked no more than five or six years old walked briskly toward the city gate.

Perhaps it was his striking presence that caught the eye of the guards at the gate. When he reached the town entrance, they stopped him and, as was customary, asked, "Little boy, where are you from, and what brings you to Chongyun Town?"

"I am a citizen of the Stone Kingdom, just like you. I came to Chongyun Town to collect a debt."

Wu Xian looked up at the guard, a strange blue light flashing in his eyes, his smile innocent and naive.

"Debt collection..."

The guard repeated the two words, his eyes also lighting up with the same blue light.

"Yes, it's a debt that's been owed for a very, very long time."

As she said this, her innocent smile gradually turned cold.

"It's time to get our principal back with interest..."
