"Mr. Wu Liang... what do you plan to do with the other villagers once those [Promised Land] people inside the Utopian Village are discovered?"

On the peak of the Bogda Peak, which should have been desolate, two figures emerged from the eerie cave entrance.

The former wore a black trench coat that flapped in the howling wind at the summit, while the latter was bundled up in thick cotton clothing and a scarf, timidly asking.

All those Utopian Villages were personally created by her, and Ah Yimu knew very well how protective the villagers within Utopia were of their own.

Should the intentions of Wu Liang be discovered by those [Promised Land] people hiding among them, they might incite and manipulate other unaware members of Utopia to attack them.

Even as the Saintess, she wasn't certain if she could entirely prevent such an event from occurring.

If it truly came to a confrontation, she didn't know what actions the unfathomable young man before her would take.

Hearing this, Wu Liang surveyed the mountains, now devoid of ice and snow because of him, then gazed into the distant direction they came from, saying, "Remember, you are alive and walking out of this mountain range to atone for your sins, you are the Saintess of Utopia, not the Holy Mother."

"In chaotic times, the first blade kills the Holy Mother-bitch. Let's hope my blade doesn't have to rest on your neck first."

"Also, outside, don't call me by name. My official code name is Reporter or Shadow."

With that, he waved his hand, and several Fierce Ghost Minions appeared, carrying packs of supplies down the mountain.

Ah Yimu followed them in a daze, walking downwards.

She was well aware that Wu Liang's words were not mere verbal threats because there was already a vast grave field outside Taohua Village that proved it.

Just last night, Sealed Yao Qingxue restored the memories of all the villagers in Taohua Village.

Fortunately, most people, under the guidance of the exploration team and Commoner Yao Qingxue, accepted this fact.

Back then, those who entered here were unconsciously guided by Sealed Yao Qingxue, who was in a cursed slumber, and they ended up dying within the Tianshan Mountain Range while their bodies remained intact.

It naturally couldn't discern whether the entrants were good or evil, and they didn't expect many fugitives from Di Wu City, fleeing official pursuit, to risk entering Celestial Pool of Tianshan, ultimately meeting their demise at Taohua Village.

Predictably, this group, akin to fugitives, chose not to trust Yao Qingxue.

Originally, they only intended to try escaping the Peach Blossom Spring.

However, perhaps Commoner Yao Qingxue's gentle and kind demeanor made them think she was easy to bully.

Someone even suggested capturing Yao Qingxue or even seizing Peach Blossom Spring as their own base.

As a result, when people came to bid farewell to Wu Liang the next day, a vast expanse of grave mounds appeared next to Taohua Village.

Wu Liang donned a new black trench coat, explaining, "Once black clothing is stained with blood, it doesn't appear different, and I hate doing laundry; it's too troublesome."

Watching his figure filled with murderous intent, preparing to descend to the Utopian Village, Ah Yimu muttered to herself, "Utopia is about to welcome the black-robed Death God cleansing sins..."

She dared not ask much about those helping Wu Liang with the packages, for each shadow instilled an inexplicable fear in Ah Yimu.

This is a biological fear of death.

Under Wu Liang's extraordinary physical capabilities, he led Ah Yimu with ease on what should have been a treacherous climb up Bogda Peak.

In about half a day, they arrived at a leveled clearing.

Here, there should have been an endless Primitive Forest, but some unethical individual had cleared it with fire, and now that same individual had returned to retrieve their hidden treasure.

"How... how is there a vehicle buried in this soil!?" Ah Yimu exclaimed, speechless, when she saw the steel monster of a Hummer being lifted from the ground by Wu Liang.

She truly hadn't expected anyone to hide a car underground! Even more surprising was that Wu Liang could lift the vehicle with just his physical strength!? Was this guy even human?

In a daze, she got into the vehicle, and the two quickly headed toward the outside of the Tianshan Mountain Range.

This time, it was much faster than when they arrived.

Firstly, because Wu Liang had almost cleared the way of Fierce Ghosts upon his arrival. Secondly, with the absence of the Queen Mother of the West and the white-haired Fierce Ghost, the vehicle emanated the aura of several City-annihilating Fierce Ghosts, so no other Fierce Ghosts dared to approach.

The journey was unimpeded, and they quickly reached the entrance to Celestial Pool of Tianshan, the place where Wu Liang had first arrived.

Half an hour after departing from here, Ah Yimu saw the familiar walls.

That was Utopia No. 2 Village, from where she had escaped.

Having lived here for a long time, Ah Yimu's prestige as the Saintess was highest here!

She hoped to use her prestige to quietly draw out the members of the [Promised Land].

This way, it wouldn't lead to a large number of people confronting Wu Liang, ultimately sparking a massacre.

"Halt! Unauthorized entry into Utopian territory is forbidden, violators will be executed on sight!"

Before the off-road vehicle reached the gate of Utopia No. 2 Village, someone from a distant watchtower issued a warning through a loudspeaker.

This action struck Wu Liang with a sense of nostalgia, as if the last time he came, he hadn't even reached the entrance before being shot at.

They're quite gentle this time, at least they didn't shoot immediately.

However, he did the same as last time, ignoring everything, driving up to the gate.

The villagers in the Utopian watchtower were incensed, not expecting the vehicle to have the audacity to ignore the warning entirely.

They grabbed a rifle nearby, aiming it at the driver's seat.

As soon as anyone stepped out of the vehicle, they'd ensure a headshot!

Bam—

Suddenly, a companion slapped him on the head and scolded, "Are you stupid? Didn't you recognize this vehicle? That's the car of Saintess Ayimu's friend!"

The sentry looked pitifully at his companion, who hurriedly ran down the watchtower to open the gate without saying much more.

Seeing the arriving figure, Wu Liang couldn't help but smile.

It was none other than Hazati, who had once sniped him on the grassland and got beaten up the first time!

No wonder he recognized the vehicle immediately; that experience was probably unforgettable for him.

"Mr. Wu! Welcome, welcome... Ah! Saintess Ayimu! Why are you in the car!?"

Hazati, approaching the vehicle, was surprised upon seeing Ah Yimu in the passenger seat.

When Ah Yimu established Utopia, she hadn't yet been visibly influenced by Obsidian, and after Utopia fully formed, she moved into the cave, so no one knew that she had taken on Yao Qingxue's appearance.

Thus, the image of Saintess Ayimu passed down in all the Utopian Villages still resembled her own face.

No Utopian member wouldn't recognize this face, so even the sentry who looked pitiful on the watchtower quickly ran down to confess.

He almost shot at Saintess Ayimu! That would have been a grave offense!

"Hazati, is everything alright in the village?"

Ah Yimu asked with a gentle smile capable of melting glaciers, her tone exceptionally kind.

"Of course! Everything is as usual in the village... umm... ah..."

Just as Hazati was patting his chest, he realized he couldn't speak anymore.

The intense pain made him look down to see a gray-white sword piercing his throat, from which only hoarse whimpers escaped.

His eyes filled with despair, looking incredulously towards the driver's seat.

At this moment, Wu Liang, just stepping out of the vehicle, gently withdrew the Sharp Sword, formed from mist, from his body.

As the sword was pulled out, a fountain-like jet of blood gushed from Hazati's throat, dyeing everything before him scarlet red...
