What is meant by "words spoken in haste," this is it now.
[Ding! Lightning strike preparation 3, 2, 1!]
"Crack!"
The lightning, as thick as a bowl, struck Zhang Pingfan.
Zhang Pingfan's eyes went starry as he collapsed.
In the small courtyard, Hei Huang, standing at a distance, watched the sky with a cautious expression.
Ri Tian unhurriedly shifted its position and then returned to the pond to lie down again, distancing itself from Zhang Pingfan, the source of all trouble.
Zhang Pingfan, spewing black smoke, raised his middle finger.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
"Crack!"
Another bolt of lightning struck.
Zhang Pingfan was crackling and sizzling under the electric shock.
Ri Tian, in the distance, shook its head.
"Brother, do you think our master is looking for death?"
The koi in the pond actually spoke human words.
"Doggy, you don't understand. This is called loving and hating each other. Is this how single dogs come about!"
"Get lost, I just haven't found the right one."
"Tch! Those few little bugs outside the gate, why don't you let that old fellow deal with them?"
"Just a few little bugs, no harm done. Who cares!"
Soon, the small courtyard returned to peace. Zhang Pingfan no longer dared to speak rashly.
This hot-tempered system miss was truly unfeeling.
"You damn dog, don't let me catch you!"
Zhang Pingfan grumbled as he got up.
Although the lightning strike hurt, it didn't kill him. That was the most annoying part.
Zhang Pingfan stretched his muscles. Since the system said so, why shouldn't he give it a try?
Zhang Pingfan ran a hand over his hair, which had stood on end from the electric shock.
He dragged his numb body out of the small courtyard.
As soon as Zhang Pingfan left the small courtyard, he was spotted. However, this time they didn't follow him; instead, they quickly left Pingjiang City.
The six burly men in black who had entered last night had still not come out, which they found very strange.
But now, it seemed they were all dead.
The scouts from the City Lord's Mansions of Haibin City and Qixing City had returned.
"City Lord, this fellow is very suspicious!"
The City Lord of Qixing City frowned.
"What do you mean? I told you to report back last night, and you waited until today. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'll hold you accountable!"
"Yes, after the town mayor left Pingjiang City Lord's Mansion last night, six burly men followed him to the mayor's small courtyard!"
"I suspect these were people sent by Pingjiang City Lord's Mansion, and each of them was a sixth-tier martial artist!"
"Mmm, continue. Then what? Was this town mayor beaten to death?"
"No. He left the small courtyard this morning, but those six martial artists have not been seen. I suspect they are dead!"
The City Lord of Qixing City frowned. If that were the case, then this town mayor must have at least the strength of a seventh-tier martial artist, or even higher.
"No wonder he could grow so quickly. It seems his own strength is not to be underestimated. Anything else?"
"I also saw an old farmer who went in and out of the small courtyard last night. He saw a blurry figure being held in his hand, but I couldn't see who it was clearly. However, I already know he went to Pingjiang City, probably someone from the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Old farmer? A peasant?"
"Yes, his strength is very formidable. We cannot discern it!"
The City Lord of Qixing City frowned deeply this time. This means he has at least an eighth-tier strength.
When did such powerful figures appear around the three main cities? It's strange!
"City Lord, what should we do next?"
"We watch the show. That hot-tempered fellow from Haibin City probably can't stand it anymore! Their geographical environment is already poor, and he's the most anxious one!"
"Understood. I will make arrangements immediately!"
On the side of Haibin City, the hot-tempered City Lord of Haibin City was displeased upon hearing the news.
"A bunch of useless people, especially those two good-for-nothings. They do everything sneakily. Since you don't want to solve this with force, and you want to reap the benefits without doing anything, I won't let you have your way. You wait here, I'll go personally!"
"City Lord, allow us to accompany you. After all, there are unknown dangers around him!"
"Danger? Heh, that's just an excuse for the weak. I'll take care of him myself. A swift and decisive move. You prepare to accept Pingfan Town here!"
"Yes, City Lord!"
They had no doubt about the strength of the City Lord of Haibin City.
After all, a ninth-tier War God was considered invincible to them.
Zhang Pingfan left the small courtyard, humming a tune, and arrived at the sect registration point in Pingfan Town.
The NPC at the registration point was very respectful upon seeing Zhang Pingfan's arrival.
"Village Chief, why have you come?"
Zhang Pingfan said, "Of course, I'm here to establish a sect!"
The NPC was a little surprised.
"Why would Village Chief establish a sect?"
"Why do you care so much? Quickly register a sect for me. I've already thought of a name: Pingfan Sect!"
The NPC at the registration point had a distressed look on his face.
Zhang Pingfan frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"Village Chief, it's not impossible to establish a sect, but there's a level requirement. You need to reach level 60 to establish a sect. But you're currently level 0, so I can't process it for you. The higher authorities definitely won't approve it!"
"Ah!" Zhang Pingfan was dumbfounded. There was actually a level restriction.
"Uh, I am the town mayor of Pingfan Town. I'm an important person. Doesn't that count for anything?"
"No, these are rules. Neither you nor I can break them!"
Zhang Pingfan sighed, realizing it wasn't that simple.
But how could he level up?
He was still level 0, and he had asked the system before, which said it wasn't time yet.
It seemed that establishing a sect was impossible for now.
Zhang Pingfan sat dejectedly in front of the sect establishment gate.
To think that I, the dignified town mayor of Pingfan Town, who even established a small town, cannot establish a sect. Alas! Truly, heaven envies exceptional talent.
"Oh, Master, why are you sitting here? I thought you were at home, as I didn't see you."
Dou Youyou appeared before Zhang Pingfan, her smile making Zhang Pingfan's dejected mood much better.
"Mm, I wanted to establish a sect, but they wouldn't let me. They said my level wasn't high enough!"
"Oh, Master, you're only level zero, so of course, it's not enough!"
Zhang Pingfan felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest. It was enough that his level wasn't high enough, but she had to mention that he was level zero. What did that mean?
"You brat, are you happy that I'm level zero?"
"Hehe, I..."
Suddenly, Zhang Pingfan's expression changed drastically. He pulled Dou Youyou into his arms and kicked out.
With a bang, a figure was kicked flying.
Just behind Dou Youyou, a burly man carrying a large saber had suddenly appeared and swung it directly towards Zhang Pingfan.
Suddenly being held in her Master's arms, Dou Youyou's heart raced, and her face turned red. Is this Master's chest? It feels so secure!
