Two more people paid the bill and left, leaving Zhang Xiaofan and the cripple as the only two customers in the tavern. Under Zhang Xiaofan's instructions, the owner brought two jars of wine and placed them on the table. He looked at Xiao Hui and saw three empty jars on the ground.
The cripple picked up the wine jar and poured two big bowls of wine. He picked up one of the bowls with both hands and said,"We Miao people worship heroes the most. I'm here to offer a toast to heroes.”
There was a custom here. If one toasted a hero they admired and the hero drank it, it would be a glory worth showing off. For him to toast Zhang Xiaofan so respectfully, Zhang Xiaofan must be a great hero in his heart. Zhang Xiaofan saw that it was difficult to decline, and he had something to ask, so he picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp. The cripple was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiaofan drinking the wine. He also raised his bowl and drank it in one gulp.
A spiciness rose from his stomach, and he felt faint, which relieved Zhang Xiaofan's worries. " What kind of clan are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaofan asked as he put down his wine bowl. Why have I never heard of this race in Southern Border?”
The cripple was beaming with joy at this moment and immediately replied,"That's a new clan in our Southern Border. We, the Miao, Li, Zhuang, Tu, and Gaoshan Tribes, have recently merged into a new tribe called the New Sorcerer Tribe. We have restored the traditions of the Ancient Sorcerer Tribe. Speaking of the origin of the new Sorcerer Tribe, it was mainly because of our new Saintess.”
The cripple drank another bowl of wine and said in detail,"At that time, the beast kings attacked the territories of the five clans in the southern border. The beast demons killed everyone they saw, and only a few people escaped. The gods of our five races were furious, but they were unwilling to commit any sins, so they created a new saintess for us. Under their guidance, our new Saintess found the Holy Garment left behind by the last generation of the Ancient Sorcery Tribe's Witch Goddess. She opened the Ancient Sorcery Sacred Land that had been sealed for many years and entered the Witch Goddess Hall. It was the current Saintess Hall that was practicing sorcery. She had only left the hall a few months ago. She had wanted to get rid of the evil for her tribe, but unfortunately, the Beast King had died. Under the guidance of God, the Saintess reorganized the five tribes of the Southern Border and formed the new Sorcerer Tribe to relieve the pain of the people of the various tribes and protect the Southern Border. Now, the Saintess was giving blessings to the clansmen of all races at the Holy Spring Altar. The clansmen who received the blessings would live a peaceful life. I went too. I waited in line for two days before I received my blessings. I only rushed back today.”
Zhang Xiaofan secretly thought about the matter of the Qilidong family being shut down today. It turned out that they had all gone to the Holy Spring Altar to receive blessings. It seemed that the Saintess was now the most important thing in the hearts of the five clans in the southern border, which exceeded their loyalty to the Great Warlock.
Zhang Xiaofan was so shocked that he even spilled the wine in his hand. The wine splashed on Zhang Xiaofan's body and left a large wet stain. However, Zhang Xiaofan didn't care about it at all. He asked nervously,"You said that she practiced witchcraft left behind by the Ancient Sorcerer Clan?”
"Yes, I am. The Saintess was now like the Witch Goddess of the Ancient Sorcerer Tribe. What the Saintess was using now was the sorcery that the Witch Goddess practiced.”
"Then does the Saintess know the 'Soul Searching Technique'?”
Cripple saw how anxious his hero was and knew that the Soul Searching Technique must be very important to Zhang Xiaofan. He thought about it carefully, hoping that he could even think of a few words. However, he just couldn't think of anything related to the Soul Searching Technique. Looking at Zhang Xiaofan's anxious face, she shook her head and said,""I don't know. You can go to the Holy Spring Altar and ask the Saintess yourself. You killed the Beast King and are the hero of our new Sorcerer Tribe. You should be able to meet the Saintess.”
"Thank you." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out. Seeing this, Xiao Hui hurriedly picked up an unopened wine jar and ran out. A black light shot into the sky from outside, leaving behind a quiet tavern and a silly cripple in the tavern. Cripple suddenly reflected on himself and shouted,""The Holy Spring Altar is 60 miles southeast of the Seven Mile Cave…"
The black light had already flown far away, so there was naturally no echo.
Only a cripple was looking at the food and wine and muttering softly, It wasn't easy to see Hero, but he left just like that. I haven't even drunk Hero yet.
Zhang Xiaofan flew across the sky like a black meteor. Even the Wind in the High Mountain did not slow him down at all. As for the direction of the Holy Spring Altar, it was even easier to say. He followed the crowd and easily found the direction of the Holy Spring Altar.
The Holy Spring Altar was where the altar of the new Sorcerer Tribe was located. It was the place where the new Sorcerer Tribe worshiped the Sorcerer God. It was the holy land where the new Saintess blessed the tribesmen. It was the lifeline of the tribe and sacred.
Here, everyone was waiting for the blessing with admiration. Those who received the blessing were all excited and hurriedly thanked their Sorcerer God. The Holy Spring Altar was now overcrowded. Fortunately, their new Saintess had been prepared and gave food to their Sorcerer God every day. Otherwise, most of the people would have starved to death! If that was the case, he would probably have to change his blessing to mourning.
There was a sea of people below the altar. They were all people from different races gathered here to 'boost the prestige' of this new Sorcerer Tribe. They were all staring at the altar. There weren't many people on the altar, and the people who wanted to be blessed were orderly.
In the middle of the altar stood their new Saintess, a young and beautiful woman in white. She had a delicate face, a pair of big, watery eyes, and a pair of eyebrows that were as beautiful as the crescent moon. Her small nose, delicate lips, and happy smile were all telling her how happy she was. Her gentle tone was blessing her clansmen one by one. She was getting happiness from their happiness. She was the saintess that her clansmen respected.
It was almost dinnertime, but the crowd had not dispersed. Their new Saintess was still smiling and blessing everyone. Suddenly, the Saintess looked up and saw a black shadow descending onto the altar. The black light dissipated and Zhang Xiaofan's figure slowly appeared.
As soon as Zhang Xiaofan landed, a group of soldiers with swords ran over and surrounded him. Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to start a fight, so he quickly said,""I have no ill intentions. I just want to see the Saintess.”The soldiers of the southern border were not very reasonable. Zhang Xiaofan stepping on their altar without permission was a capital offense, and they were going to capture him.
Zhang Xiaofan was really pitiful. He had only seen the Holy Spring Altar being crowded with people and that it was the only place he could stay, so he had landed in a hurry. However, he didn't expect that this was the altar. Zhang Xiaofan knew how important the altar was to the Nanjiang people, so he didn't expect to encounter such a big problem as soon as he landed. Zhang Xiaofan had come to ask for help, but he didn't dare to resist. He was afraid that if he angered them, things would backfire. However, he had never been bullied like this. Seeing that he was about to be captured, he suddenly said loudly,"I was the one who killed the Beast King. I didn't come here intentionally to offend you. I just want to see the Saintess.”
The soldiers also stopped and mumbled something. Zhang Xiaofan knew that the Nanjiang tribesmen respected heroes too. If he said that he had killed the Beast King, he would become their hero. They wouldn't tie their hero up, would they? Moreover, it would be more likely to see their Saintess this way.
The Saintess continued to bless her clansmen. She never cared about such trivial matters.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the center of the altar and knew that she was the Saintess. Zhang Xiaofan wanted to walk over anxiously, but even though the soldiers didn't want to catch him, they still surrounded him and didn't let him move.
A moment later, a thin old man walked over from afar. He was covered by a huge piece of clothing, and even his face could not be seen clearly. Only his right hand held a black wooden staff used for sacrifices. He should be a Great Wizard.
When the soldiers saw the old man, they reported the matter to him. The old man was covered by his clothes, so one could not see his expression. After hearing the report, the old man pondered for a moment. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers made a gap in the encirclement. The old man stopped in front of Zhang Xiaofan and didn't say anything.
Zhang Xiaofan had something to attend to, so he didn't want to delay for too long. He said respectfully,""Junior Zhang Xiaofan accidentally intruded into the Holy Altar. Please don't misunderstand, senior.”
The old man seemed to move under the huge clothes and said in an ancient voice,"I'm the Grand Wizard here, the leader of the wizards of all races.”
At this point, the surrounding soldiers looked at the Great Magus with respect. The Grand Magus paused for a moment before continuing," I can tell from your attire that you are definitely not an ordinary cultivator. Your cultivation and magic treasures are even rarer." However, I've never heard of Zhang Xiaofan before. You're not a nobody, so why don't you tell me your real name?”
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, but his expression didn't change. "I used to use the name Gui Li."”
The Grand Magus laughed and said,"So it's the Vice Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect." May I know why you are here?"
"Great Wizard, please call me Zhang Xiaofan." I'm no longer the Vice Sect Leader of the Ghost King Sect.”
"Why?" The Grand Magus was shocked.”
"It's a long story. Junior has come this time only to ask the Saintess for a favor, no other intentions.”Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to talk about the past anymore, so he directly stated his intention.
The Grand Magus seemed to understand and did not ask further. "You said you killed the Beast King?"”
Zhang Xiaofan didn't explain.""That's right."
"That would be the hero of our new Sorcerer Tribe.”"Since our hero wishes to speak to the Saintess, please wait in the temple," the Grand Magus shouted. We'll talk when our Saintess has time.”
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the Saintess and was about to speak, but the Grand Warlock had already made a gesture of invitation. Zhang Xiaofan couldn't let the situation get worse, so he said,""Thank you." He followed everyone into the inner part of the altar.
The Grand Magus behind him seemed to smile under the cover of his huge black clothes.
