Villain Cultivator

Chapter 435: Winter Chaos – Part 4

Du Hui was knocked back five meters and collapsed on his back. His parents rushed to the stage to check their child while the other relatives pointed their fingers and scolded Miaomiao.

"You, how dare you!? Don't you know who we are!? How dare you attack our child!?"

"Kneel and kowtow to us! Compensate us for harming our child!"

Miaomiao and other staff from Siren City rolled their eyes. Even frequent visitors like Xun Yu, Xun You, and Sima Fang raised their eyebrows, wondering whether this family was mentally ill.

They wanted to ask them where they had been living since they didn't know Miaomiao's strength and the backers of Siren City.

Miaomiao sighed, "You there. Are you really ignorant, or are you just simply stupid. Don't you know what kind of place this is?"

The parents of Du Hui came from the southern region, and they had no idea about the war game. They thought that Siren City was just a den of vile cultivators and demon worshipers.

As such, they showed no respect to the local people, even if Miaomiao's cultivation base was higher than theirs, they were not afraid of him.

"This place is just a den of monsters and demons! How dare you insult us!?" The parents turned around and shouted, "People, look at this bastard! He doesn't even show respect to us, a family of righteous cultivators! How can you trust this man and this bogus sect that he made!?"

The local beastmen, merchants, and rogue cultivators who had seen the war game sneered at the group of family.

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, the family was confused.

Miaomiao faintly smiled at the family as he unleashed his killing intent. Without touching them, he glared at them, giving them the pressure of a 5th-stage cultivator with a compound element continent inside his dantian.

He had the urge to kill them on the spot, but he chose not to.

After all, many people from the dryad forest and a glutton spider were eager to abduct these fools. Miaomiao could simply let them handle underhanded tasks while his hands remained clean.

The aura of Miaomiao changed. From the perspectives of Du Hui's parents, Miaomiao suddenly looked like a domineering war god, who could easily kill them with just a punch.

"Leave."

Miaomiao simply waved his hand, gesturing them to leave the platform.

The family was scared of the sinister aura from Miaomiao. With trembling legs, they slowly descended the stage and walked away from Siren City.

While they were leaving, the crowd laughed and gossiped.

"What were they thinking, provoking Lord Mao like that?"

"Lord Mao Miaomiao used to repel multiple 8th-stage cultivators at once! He could have killed those idiots, but he didn't! What a kind man!"

"Lord Mao is different from those arrogant cultivators from noble clans. He doesn't care about our background or our origins. He simply accepts everyone as long as they show respect to him first."

"That's why morons like Du Family failed! It's obvious as days that the first test is a test of manner and respect. Any child that touched the boulder passed the test instantly while arrogant pricks always failed!"

Du Family members lowered their heads in shame. They didn't dare to meet the eyes of the spectating cultivators or merchants as they didn't know anything about Miaomiao.

The test went on without a hitch after the commotion. No one dared to show disrespect toward Miaomiao anymore.

…

The Du Family members left the perimeter of Siren City, traveling on the southern road, heading back to the Zither Tongue City of Zhang Ren.

On the way, Du Hui's father complained as he held grudge against Miaomiao.

"Just you wait. Once we're home, we'll report this to Lord Zhang Ren. We'll request Lord Zhang to mobilize his soldiers and attack Siren City! I want to see that bogus sect burnt to the ground!"

Everyone in the family nodded. Even Du Hui cursed Miaomiao as well.

But as they were traveling on the southern main road, they didn't pay attention to the surroundings.

They were unaware – This main road was the nest of man-eating termites.

RUMBLE

Suddenly, one of the giant termites got out of the burrows and bit Du Hui's legs. Then, it dragged him underground.

Five more termites emerged and caught the legs of Du Hui's parents and family members.

"Monsters!!"

It was too late for them to react. Each termite had the similar strength of an average 5th-stage cultivator with three types of elemental Qi. They easily disabled the family before they could even fight back.

One of the family members, Du Hui's father, managed to cut his right leg and break free from the termites. He activated his fan treasure to fly.

Du Hui's father stared at the termite army, which had swamped his family and devoured them alive.

While Du Hui's father was horrified and shocked by the sudden attack, another cloaked being slowly appeared behind him. The shadow of an arachne overlapped with the man's shadow.

"Ah, another fast-food [3"

"…"

Dian Wei's happy smile was the last thing that the man could remember before his consciousness disappeared forever.

…

The security of Siren City was designed by Wei Yuan and Ma Moxi – Wei Yuan coordinated with sub-divisions, task forces, patrol guards, dryads, and the bugs. Meanwhile, Ma Moxi handled intelligence, espionage, and assassination missions.

After Du Hui's family left, Wei Yuan relayed her order to Liu Guang and Qiongqi, who managed insect troops. She ordered them to kill everyone right away.

Liu Guang and Qiongqi immediately coordinated with Ma Moxi to get their target's whereabouts. Then, they deployed man-eating termites to hunt down Du Hui's family around their nest.

The hunt was efficient as the termites did best what they could do.

However, the uninvited guest, Dian Wei, had a sensitive nose. She found out about the prey and joined the hunt without Wei Yuan's consent.

This wasn't the first time that Dian Wei proactively chased after Wei Yuan's preys or Hopea's preys. She always ran around, searching for a human to eat.

There was nothing Wei Yuan and others could do. They let the spider girl roam around since she never discriminatingly slaughtered innocent beastmen or humans for food.

She only killed wanted men.

The cleanup teams continued to hunt down Miaomiao's hidden enemies while the man himself maintained his benevolent reputation as a kind city lord.

…

Miaomiao stayed around for a week to welcome new disciple candidates and good children. The parents of the candidates were overjoyed as their children were qualified, and they told their friends about their success.

They told everyone that the Ten Path of Nirvana Sect was kind and generous as they were willing to hire the parents of the disciple candidates as deacons!

Because of the words of mouth and rumor, commoners from nearby provinces brought their children to take their chances.

Meanwhile, adult cultivators protested as they also wanted to join the sect. They wanted to be a part of the newly established cult so that they could have a better status.

Miaomiao had to come out and made another announcement.

[We only accept young candidates for now. We will inform you when the sect is open for other positions, such as elders, deacon captains, or senior disciples.]

The announcement worked like magic. All impatient cultivators stopped making a fuss and waited for their opportunity. Some of them settled down at the border between Siren City and the nearby provinces.

While Miaomiao and others minded their own businesses, trouble came for them.

= Days Passed =

As so many children and families had come here, Siren City's population increased once more. Now, over 200,000 commoners and cultivators founded multiple villages at the southeast of Siren City, south of World Tree Forest, and east of Man-Eating Termite Plain.

A portion of migrated people managed to gain their "Green Cards" and got to live inside the city. They were relatives of monks from Huangjin Monastery and the family members of qualified disciple candidates.

Commoners were assigned to Ma Moxi and Sun Wentai as they were in charge of turning them into 1st-stage cultivators. Even if their children were to fail the next assessment tests, they would still be hired nonetheless, and the children would join the Ma Clan or the Sun Clan as a part of their agreements with Miaomiao.

Everything was smooth. Although troublemakers showed up once in a while, Wei Yuan, Dian Wei, Hopea, and Liu Guang took care of them behind Miaomiao's back.

Unfortunately, a big trouble finally escalated on the last day of the assessment test.

A thousand 5th-stage cultivators flew toward Siren City, bringing 5,000 children under the age of 12 here.

The leader of this group was none other than Huang Zu and Huang Hansheng!

Moreover, the children were from the families of Liu Clan's servants, soldiers, and cultivators!

When the 9th-stage archer showed up at the platform, the fighting forces of Siren City were stationed on top of the east wall. Miaomiao and Dian Wei rushed to the platform and confronted the uninvited guests.

Sun Wentai still had a grudge against Yuan Shu's men and Liu Biao, who sheltered his enemies. When he saw the children of Liu Biao's Clan, he defied Wei Yuan's order and joined Miaomiao and Dian Wei, confronting the two Huangs together.
