A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Little girl: And...

KP: When pointing at Romeo, the little girl suddenly fell silent for a moment, as if she was choosing her words.

Little girl: You look the strangest. You seem to care about everything, yet you seem to care about nothing. Hmm...it's very interesting.

Romeo: Hey, this is my philanthropic heart, right?

KP: After giving some sharp comments, the little girl looked at you all dumbfounded and revealed a cute and smug expression.

Little girl: Well, I was right, wasn't I? You look just like me, except you're a little darker, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Han Buli: Putting aside the sharp comments about me, other people’s comments are still relatively objective.

Xiao Huohuo: (half annoyed) +1. Also, why am I the one who is being criticized? It's my stinky sister who is being criticized!

Joan of Arc: Shut up, Nige!

Xiao Huohuo:???

Han Buli: Damn it, Ni Ge!

Romeo: So, does this little girl have any super powers?

Joan of Arc: Maybe it’s the innate psychology saint. Anyway, let me ask what the little girl’s name is?

KP: Hearing this, the little girl blinked.

Little girl: Sha, everyone calls me Sha.

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, okay, you are still getting to the point, right?

Han Buli: As we all know, sand → time precipitation → pearls. So according to the description above, this pearl-like little girl = the sands of time.

Xiao Huohuo: Genius!

KP: Well, it's a pun.

Romeo: Hehe, it turns out to be Little Sha, what a cute name. Why are you here alone? Why don’t I take you home and meet my future father-in-law by the way.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn, Lao Luo, you are such a beast! (Pointing and gesturing)

Romeo: Relationships have to be cultivated from childhood. Even though there is a ten-year age difference between us now, we will be just right in ten years.

Xiao Huohuo:?

Han Buli: ...seems like nothing's wrong. (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: Get out! I kicked Romeo away and walked over to Sha, saying, "Ignore that pervert from outside the domain. I'm here to take you home!"

KP: So, the little girl named Sand looked at Jeanne, looking a little confused.

Sha: Why should I call you sister? You’re not even as tall as me. You should be the one calling me sister.

Joan of Arc:?

Xiao Huohuo:holding back laughter.jpg.

Han Buli:holding back laughter.jpg.

Romeo:holding back laughter.jpg.

Joan of Arc: I, Joan of Arc, am really a little angry!

KP: Okay, don't get angry for now. Just as you were chatting, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps not far away, mixed with the sound of metal clashing. Sha let out a startled "Ah!" and then, like a frightened rabbit, scurried across the square and hid in the alley behind you.

Sha: Shh, someone is here to catch me, don’t tell anyone you’ve seen me!

Xiao Huohuo: Arrest you? Did you do something wrong?

Sha: Um... I stole their things and I don't want to return them just yet.

Han Buli: Why should I return something I stole with my own ability?

sand:?

Joan of Arc: Damn, don’t teach my little sister Sha bad things!

Han Buli: (shrugs) Just telling the truth.

KP: Then, not long after Sha hid in the alley, several figures appeared in your field of vision. They were a team of six soldiers, wearing armor, with swords on their waists and spears on their shoulders. They looked well-trained and had good combat capabilities.

KP: At this time, they had already noticed the four of you in the center of the square. Looking at the white robes on your bodies and your "dark" skin color that was obviously different from that of the city residents, they immediately put their hands on the swords at their waists and entered a state of alert.

Lead Soldier: Who are you?!

Xiao Huohuo: Are there any cultivators? Or are they just ordinary mortals?

KP: Just mortal.

Xiao Huohuo: Humph, a mere mortal dares to act so rashly in front of cultivators like us! Let me teach you a lesson with my Flame Fist!

KP: By the way, perhaps because we are deep underground, the spiritual energy here is very thin. After your spiritual power is consumed, it cannot be restored naturally during rest. You need to use pills or other items to recover.

Xiao Huohuo: The level suppression is still there, right?

KP: Yes.

Xiao Huohuo: That’s okay, watch me teach them a lesson with my Xuanzhong Ruler!

Joan of Arc: (pulling out the Red Sun Sword) Get out of the way, you stinky brother. Don’t embarrass yourself with your low output.

Romeo: Hehe, I haven’t had any physical combat in a long time.

Han Buli: Then I will hide for now, you guys keep doing it.

……

KP: Then, the battle begins. Due to the large number of players, we'll proceed directly to a free-for-all.

KP: Due to level suppression, all enemy judgments in battle are -70%. You three can take the lead.

Xiao Huohuo: To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. I will just smack the leading soldier in the face with a ruler.

Xiao Huohuo: Fighting, 89/50, failed.

Xiao Huohuo:?

KP: Then, Xiao Huohuo attacked first, his giant ruler transforming into a dark shadow, striking directly at the leading soldier. The soldier was horrified, clearly unprepared for your agility. He was about to scream, "My life is over," when Xiao Huohuo suddenly stumbled, and the black ruler spun and fell half a meter in front of him, leaving behind a gust of wind.

Xiao Huohuo:...Well, it's quite hot today, let me fan everyone to cool down.

Lead Soldier: ...

Han Buli: It’s hard to hold back.

Joan of Arc: Oh, stop showing off when you have a defensive magic weapon. You are not ashamed of being my stinky little brother.

Xiao Huohuo: (half annoyed)

Joan of Arc: I'll give that leading soldier a sword and show my stinky brother what fighting is like.

Joan of Arc: Swordsmanship, 12/70, success.

Fire spiritual root bonus, 40/60, success.

剑术伤害:（【1d3:3】＋【2d6:4，5】）X1.3=15。

Leading soldier's HP: 15-15=0.

Lead Soldier: Humahhhhhhhhhhh——

KP: Joan of Arc's swordsmanship was so sharp, and her height served as a deception. The leading soldier was not on guard and was hit directly in the chest by the Red Sun Sword. The half-inch thick armor shattered instantly. With a scream, he fell on his back, and his life or death was unknown.

KP: (Dark Dice)

KP: After just one encounter, the strongest leading soldier was "killed" by a single sword strike from the seemingly weakest person on the opposite side. Such a strong contrast made the remaining soldiers instantly lose their will to fight.

Soldier 1: So, what's that burning sword?!

Soldier B: It's witchcraft! It must be witchcraft!

Soldier C: Quack! Everyone, retreat!

KP: In the blink of an eye, the originally aggressive squad of soldiers fell apart, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts, and soon disappeared, leaving only the seriously injured leading soldier on the ground.

KP: The battle is over.

Chapter 156: First Retrospection (Sand of Time Part 4)

Joan of Arc: No, buddy, why are you running away? You are such a weak soldier.

Xiao Huohuo: Probably water army.

Joan of Arc: Grass.

Han Buli: Actually, it makes sense. It is an isolated underground mortal city with no pressure of invasion from foreign enemies. In addition, there is a national master who is suspected to be a cultivator sitting in the center. It is not easy for them to have a few soldiers pretending to be good at it.

Xiao Huohuo: Indeed.

Jeanne: It's so frustrating! I was trying to catch someone to get some information, but they all ran away faster than anyone could stand. I seriously suspect that the jerk KP let them go on purpose because he didn't want to reveal the information. (Half-annoyed)

Han Buli:?

KP: So, seeing that you dealt with the attacking guards in the blink of an eye, Sha jumped out of the alley in surprise. Then he looked at the guard leader with a broken breastplate on the ground, and fear appeared on his little face.

Sha: Is he... is he dead?

Joan of Arc: I shouldn’t be dead. I remember KP once said that it’s not considered death when HP drops to 0.

KP: That's right, as long as you don't take more than twice your maximum HP in damage all at once. If your HP drops to 0 during combat, you'll just go into a coma. You can survive if you save them, but if you leave them alone, they're doomed.

Sha: Phew, that’s good.

KP: Sha heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that the leading guard was not dead. It seemed that for a girl of her age, witnessing a murder was still too terrifying.

Joan of Arc: That’s right, Xiaosha, don’t be afraid, we will rescue him right away.

Romeo: Right, so KP can I give him CPR?

KP:?

Sha: (blinks) What is artificial respiration?

Romeo: Hehe, it's a magical remedy! It cures all diseases!

Joan of Arc: Damn Lao Luo, stop going crazy here!

Han Buli: You actually want to do something so gay here?! Romeo's negative influence on children... is immeasurable!

Xiao Huohuo: Alas, Lao Luo's ideas are still too advanced for the current version. Anyway, I'd better use the First Aid Fist on the leading guard first!

Xiao Huohuo: First aid, 15/40, success.

Joan of Arc: Damn, you little brother, you even ordered first aid.

Xiao Huohuo: Indeed, I almost forgot about it myself. (Suppressing laughter)

Han Buli: Was it you who protected our eyes with the first aid punch... Lao Xiao, you are so gentle!

KP: So, with your professional first aid, Xiao Huohuo, after two bangs, the leading guard coughed violently twice and slowly woke up.

Romeo: Oh, you're awake.

Lead Guard: ...?!

KP: So, when he opened his eyes, he saw the four of you facing each other—especially Romeo, who was licking his lips. The leading guard immediately showed a look of horror.

Lead Guard: You, who are you?! What are you going to do to me?

Xiao Huohuo: Humph, sir, please recognize your situation. You are just a prisoner now. You have no right to ask questions, you only have the choice to answer.

Leading Guard: ...Bah! You evil demons from outside the domain, the Imperial Master will deal with you. You can't escape now!

Xiao Huohuo: Hey, you're still being stubborn. KP, can my threats be suppressed by level?

KP: Yes.

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, then I'll scare him. Just tell him we're evil monks from outside the city, and we love to torture our captives. You'll have to answer whatever we ask you, or I'll show you what it's like to be stuck between wanting to live but not being able to, and wanting to die but not being able to. (Pat Lao Luo)

Romeo: (Giving a lewd smile while touching his abs) Oh Darling~ You're all muscled~?

Xiao Huohuo: Intimidation, 11/70, extremely difficult to succeed.

Joan of Arc: It’s so awkward. Why is Lao Luo involved in this threat?

Han Buli: Who can withstand this? (wipes sweat)
