The Devil King? No, Please Call Me The Immortal King Xiaoyao.

It was March, the days were short and the nights were long. As soon as Yi Xin settled his mother down, the sun was already hanging low in the west. He looked up, his gaze deep.

Gu Yue Qingyao, however, was quick-witted and seemed to know that her child had something on his mind, so she went to rest early, telling him to return early.

Yi Xin understood and, without much explanation, agreed and went out.

He walked quickly and soon arrived at the shop where he bought medicine after school. Across from the shop was a tavern, with two or three tables set up outside.

Yi Xin paused and stared for a moment, then walked away, but the direction he took was neither towards home nor towards the school, but a path he had never taken before.

"Xiao Lan, come quickly and see what this is!" A Niu excitedly pushed open the bamboo door and called into the house.

"What is it, brother?" A voice like a silver bell rang out, inquiringly.

She was dressed in rough hemp, but her face was delicate and pretty. Although there was some dirt on her face, it made her sunny and cheerful smile even more innocent, and her eyes were especially lively, like a starry sky in motion, shining even in the night. She was A Niu's younger sister, A Lan.

A Niu was even happier to see his sister. He quickly ran to her, held out something, and immediately elicited a cry of surprise.

"Did you catch it, brother?" The starlight in A Lan's eyes shone even brighter, reflecting a large rabbit.

A Niu affectionately patted her head. "Of course not. These things run so fast, they're hard to catch. I actually found this one. How about that for luck?

A Lan nodded her head rapidly. "Brother, you're a lucky star today!

A Niu also grinned. "We're having meat today!

"Yay!"

"Old Kuang, I saw that kid go in. Can we make our move?" Gou Da listlessly chewed on a piece of grass, looking impatiently at Kuang Ao.

Kuang Ao ignored him, staring intently at the dilapidated bamboo house. Then he looked at Leng She and asked again, "Are you sure there's no one else around here?

Leng She looked calm. "Don't worry, Kuang-ge. I had people check. There's no one here, and I've already had the brothers surround the area. With more than 20 people, we'll know immediately if anything happens.

Hearing this, Kuang Ao's deep expression gradually relaxed. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and the light of joy in his eyes grew stronger.

He unceremoniously ordered Gou Da, "Gou Da, go in and take a look."

Gou Da yawned and complained, "People say the four dogs are sick, but I think you, the mastiff, are just as sick. Coming to bother two kids late at night instead of sleeping. Remember to pay extra."

He spoke as he walked forward, glancing at Kuang Ao out of the corner of his eye, wondering what he was thinking.

"Okay, you'll be satisfied."

Gou Er fiddled with the Yuan stone fragments in his hand, grinning lewdly at Gou San, showing the tacit understanding between men. "Lao San, I didn't realize you were so well-stocked."

"Hehe, Second Brother, I've long wanted to spend a night with Wan'er. So I've been saving up like crazy," Gou San said shyly, but still sincerely pleaded with Gou Er, "Second Brother, you have a good relationship with the madam of Drunken Fragrance Tower, please help your little brother out.

"Okay, didn't I just say you'll be satisfied?" Gou Er shook his head helplessly, then glanced to the left and sighed even more helplessly. "Lao Si, why are you asleep again?

"Ah!" Gou Si woke up with a start. "Oh, Second Brother, I don't even know what we're doing here. Why can't we sleep at night?

"Sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep!" Gou Er went up and gave him a knock on the head, then pulled the two of them closer and whispered, "Let me tell you, this Kuang Ao usually doesn't bother with us, but he called us over today. What do you think he wants to do?

"I don't know. Didn't he say he was going to mess with people? We're just here to watch the scene," Gou Si said absentmindedly, yawning.

Gou San knew a little more. "I heard Kuang Ao's men talking about robbing some treasure."

Gou Er scoffed. "What treasure is worth him being so serious? I bet it's probably a Gu worm!

"Gu worm!" The two exclaimed.

"Don't shout. Anyway, the boss has gone over there. We'll find out sooner or later whether it's true or not."

While the three were chattering, they didn't notice a slender figure hiding in the bushes ten steps away.

"Why is it them?" Yi Xin wondered. He had seen these three before, the four people who came to cause trouble at his house that day.

After driving them away that day, Yi Xin inquired about them from the neighbors. These people were quite famous in the mortal circle of Gu Yue Mountain Village, nicknamed the "Four Mad Dogs," doing nothing all day and engaging in petty theft, typical social problem people.

"Hearing them say that Kuang Ao is going to cause trouble for A Niu again, probably because of the Gu worm," Yi Xin couldn't help but sigh, thinking he had made the right choice in coming. "Heh, a bunch of hooligans who are scared to death of Gu Masters would actually take the initiative to provoke this kind of trouble, and even make such a big show of it. Interesting."

The night grew deeper, and Gu Yue Mountain Village entered a slumber, with only the clear wind blowing through the green thatch bamboo and the crisp chirping of cicadas in the silence, breathing in and out.

A wisp of thin smoke mixed with fragrance drifted out of the bamboo house, about to float out of the bamboo door.

Bang!

The bamboo door shattered, and a pair of big feet thrust straight into the house.

"Yo, roasting a rabbit, huh? You two little brats know how to eat well," Gou Da said, shaking his head and looking around the house.

A Niu and A Lan were startled by this unannounced intrusion. A Lan quickly protected her brother, looking at Gou Da warily. "Who are you? Please leave my house!

"Boy, you say it's your house and it's your house? I say it's my house," Gou Da said, touching the scar on his face and revealing a hideous smile.

Seeing Gou Da's appearance, A Niu and A Lan felt a sense of foreboding. "What do you want!

"What do I want? Hehe, boy, I heard you have a treasure. Why don't you let me take a look? If I'm happy, I might reward you two with some money."

"We don't have any treasure! Can't you see we're very poor!" A Niu protected A Lan and retreated.

"I don't care if you're poor or not. Hand it over! I want to... Oh, there's a little girl too," Gou Da had sharp eyes from years of petty theft and discovered A Lan hiding behind A Niu with just the faint candlelight in the house.

"Let me see, yo yo yo, she's really cute," Gou Da said, craning his neck, his eyes scanning from the gaps behind A Niu like radar.

Suddenly, he laughed loudly. "Hehehe, boy, if you don't want anything to happen to the little girl behind you, hand over the thing quickly, or else..."

Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, A Niu made up his mind and suddenly stepped forward, blocking him. Soon, the two were wrestling together.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so strong."

A Niu was slender, but he had a strange brute strength that Gou Da couldn't break free from for a while. However, what kind of person was Gou Da? He was a hooligan among hooligans, a beast among beasts.

Seeing that he couldn't break free from A Niu, he took out something from his pocket, immediately shocking A Lan to shout loudly, "Brother, be careful!

It was a knife, a blade flashing with a cold light.

By the time A Niu reacted, it was too late to dodge.

"Tear!"

The knife cut into his body as easily as cutting tofu, firmly nailed into his back, the intense pain agitating his mind.

Gou Da snorted, pulled out the blade, and wanted to strike again, when suddenly, a strange pressure came from A Niu's body. Gou Da didn't see anything clearly and was sent flying out of the door.

"As expected!"

Gou Da came back to his senses, got up, and found Kuang Ao and Leng She standing beside him.

"What was that just now?

Kuang Ao didn't answer, just stared coldly at A Niu.

A Niu's entire abdomen was covered in blood red. He knelt painfully on the ground, a jade pendant around his neck emitting a faint white light.

Leng She frowned suddenly, sniffed, and said with a puzzled look, "Did you guys smell something?

"Smelled it, the smell of blood, flowing out of this kid," Gou Da said nonchalantly, shaking the knife in his hand. He twisted his neck, wanting to stand up.

Kuang Ao, however, was clear about his goal. "Boy, long time no see. Why are you in such a mess? Aren't you going to find that Gu Master?

"It's you!" A Niu, supported by his sister, saw the person clearly.

"What do you want to do again? You bastard!"

Hearing A Niu's scolding, Kuang Ao didn't get angry, but instead said to him with a smile, "Oh, don't be like that. Okay, okay, how about this? Seeing how pitiful you two are, how about working for me?

A Niu didn't answer, still staring at him intently.

"Hehe, I know, you're afraid that guy will cause you trouble, right? It's okay, I'll help you solve it," he finally gave Leng She a look.

Gou Da had just gotten up at this time. Before he could react, a vicious whip kick struck his neck hard, knocking him to the ground, silent for a long time.

He was dead.

"One down," Kuang Ao sneered in his heart, not looking back, still wearing a fake smile as he looked at A Niu and A Lan.

A Niu and A Lan were stunned by this sudden move. "Aren't they a team? What's going on?!"

While they were in shock, a large hand suddenly grabbed the jade pendant around A Niu's neck, and with a strong pull, the jade pendant was in Kuang Ao's hand.

"Give it back!" A Niu ignored his injuries and rushed forward again, but before he could touch Kuang Ao, he was knocked to the ground by a heavy punch.

"Finally got it, Gu worm, hahaha," Kuang Ao laughed ecstatically, no longer caring about the situation of the siblings, but turned and walked towards Gou Da's body.

"Where are his other three brothers?" Kuang Ao asked Leng She.

"I've instructed the brothers to drag them over later." Then he blew a loud whistle.

Kuang Ao looked at Gou Da's body with disdain. "Why do you think I called you four over? What are you? You even dared to bargain with me."

Then he took out a blood-red stone from his pocket. "However, you are still somewhat useful. This Blood Refining Gu can allow people to open the empty acupoints, but it needs blood that is connected by bloodlines to activate it. You quadruplets are really a gift from God, delivered to my doorstep."

"Congratulations, Kuang-ge, on becoming a Gu Master," Leng She flattered, bowing.

"Lao She, not yet. I'll refine it together with this Gu worm after the three guys are brought over," Kuang Ao said, holding the jade pendant in his left hand and the Blood Refining Gu in his right, looking at the A Niu and A Lan siblings again.

"You two tell me, what kind of Gu worm is this?" Kuang Ao asked, holding up the jade pendant.

"We don't know. We found it," A Lan pressed down on A Niu, who wanted to rush up again, and directly denied that the jade pendant belonged to them.

"Really don't know?

"Don't know!"

Kuang Ao was a little angry at not hearing a satisfactory answer. His eyes wandered over the two siblings, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, his eyes becoming more and more malicious.

"Leng She, throw the body next to them. People with connected bloodlines, haha, you two are also connected by bloodlines.

Hearing this, A Niu and A Lan were so frightened that they turned pale. "Is this madman trying to refine us together?

Kuang Ao, who was about to realize his dream of becoming a Gu Master, imagined the scene of himself avenging Xiong Jiazhai, his smile becoming more and more crazy. "Hahaha, Leng She, why haven't those three been dragged over yet!

"Soon, soon," Leng She said, dragging Gou Da's body with one hand, and respectfully echoing this crazy boss with the other.

Just as he was about to smash the body onto A Niu and his sister, his steps suddenly stopped, and then he stopped moving.

Kuang Ao also looked at him with a puzzled look. "Leng She, what are you doing? Daydreaming?

Leng She didn't answer, still not moving. Kuang Ao was furious and twisted Leng She's body around.

With this twist, Leng She's head instantly fell to the ground, and blood splattered out!

!

The three were shocked. Kuang Ao was so frightened that he retreated and roared madly around, "Who is it, who is it, come out! Someone, come quickly!

There was no response, the night was as quiet as a deep pool.

The siblings were even more frightened by this terrifying scene and trembled.

A gust of wind, from who knows where, gently blew from Kuang Ao's left side, the icy touch making his hair stand on end.

He suddenly turned his head, and a slender figure covered in blood suddenly came into view.

"It's you!"

Before he could say anything, he saw his head lift up gently, looking towards the sky.

Tonight, there were no stars. Of course, he couldn't see them much either, because when he landed, he could only see the A Niu siblings trembling.
