I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

Little mountain village.

Li Fan, along with Zi Ling and Nan Feng, walked to the entrance of the village.

Approaching the village entrance, Li Fan looked toward the mountains and was somewhat stunned.

Nan Feng and Zi Ling were even more dumbfounded by the scene before them.

At a glance, countless mountain ranges had collapsed, the earth had cracked, as if struck by a terrifying disaster!

Forests had toppled, rubble was everywhere, and a faint stench of blood was in the air, clearly indicating a massive calamity, with countless lives lost.

"Heavens, what on earth happened? Did divine spirits unleash a heavenly punishment? Otherwise, how could such power be manifested…”

Nan Feng murmured to herself.

"It’s too horrifying, thank goodness, thank goodness we were in the little mountain village, otherwise, we might have died the instant the disaster struck!”

At that moment, they suddenly understood why they had encountered Li Fan that day and why he had brought them back here.

It was all calculated, foreseeing the imminent disaster and saving their lives.

"Sister, how come we didn’t sense such a huge disaster at all last night…”

At the same time, Zi Ling was also full of confusion.

But Nan Feng looked at Li Fan with complex emotions, saying,

“With the teacher here, even natural calamities wouldn’t dare to approach his vicinity!”

"Haven’t you noticed? Within thousands of miles, only this little mountain village still remains unchanged, as if nothing happened at all, and the villagers had a sound sleep, completely unaware of the outside world.”

"Just by residing here… the teacher made the natural disaster dare not to invade!”

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling’s mouth hung open wide.

Their gazes toward Li Fan were filled with such admiration!

This is the air of an extraordinary master, so indifferent, doing nothing, yet all calamities can’t even come close.

"One can imagine that last night, these exotic and rare beasts must have felt that this was the only Pure Land, hence they sought to break in for refuge.”

"But without Senior Li’s permission, those terrifying beasts, which even the Supreme entities would dread, couldn’t step a foot into the village and were killed instead.”

Nan Feng gazed at the pile of various bird and beast corpses a few hundred meters from the village!

The exotic animals piled up like mountains, a sight that was indeed soul-stirring at one glance.

There was a land turtle as big as a house, its shell extremely tough with various patterns on its back.

There was a giant blue bird with wings wide enough to accommodate dozens of people, with each feather resembling an iron fan.

There were also several four-footed beasts as large as elephants, their hide as thick as a wall…

All sorts of extraordinary spirit beasts that one had never seen before were now dead around them.

It was as if, under the drive of some terrifying existence, they had rushed towards the mountain village but died outside of it.

"These birds and beasts are such rare sights; they must be delicious.”

"Eat what, the hell, their meat can’t even be cut with a knife, I bet it won’t even cook properly?”

"Our steel knives are already damaged; thankfully, Little Li forged a few kitchen knives for us, they’re really handy!”

The villagers were all gathering around those beasts, cutting them up.

For the villagers, hunting was always a means of gathering supplies for survival, and now with so many carcasses due to an earthquake, it was truly a gift from the heavens.

Even if some looked inedible, they could be cut out for later use.

"Everyone, work hard, cut up all this good meat, dry it into jerky, enough to last us till next year!”

Someone was shouting loudly.

"It’s just too… too brutal, the Mammoth Beast, the Great Blue Peng, the Three-Yuan Turtle… these are all Sub-Honored level spirit beasts, and now, they are going to be cut up for jerky?”

Hearing this shout, Zi Ling could hardly believe it!

Any of these fierce beasts, should they appear in the outside world, would cause bloodshed and chaos, indomitable unless a Supreme being intervened.

Yet, they were now food for a group of mountain folks? If this were told, who would believe it…

"All of this, it’s all because of the teacher!”

Nan Feng spoke gravely.

Both of them gazed deeply at the figure of Li Fan.

However, at this moment, Li Fan himself was troubled.

Damn it… why was there an earthquake.

Thankfully, the little mountain village he was in somehow avoided the disaster!

Blessings be to the Heavens.

However, looking at the situation, if an aftershock or something similar occurred, the place he was in would likely not escape unscathed.

Moving would be safer…

But damn it, living here was a task from the System.

This was a real pitfail.

"Little Li, you’re so experienced and knowledgeable, what do you make of this? We’re not going to have any problems here, right?”

An elder in the village asked Li Fan.

Seeing the scene outside, the villagers were after all somewhat fearful.

Li Fan thought about it and then shook his head, saying,

“Everyone needn’t worry, this place is safe.”

The System had allowed him to reside here, so it presumably wouldn’t let him die in this place, would it? Otherwise, what was the point of playing?

Therefore, Li Fan believed there should be no problem here.

Upon hearing this, everyone also felt a slight relief; Li Fan held significant prestige among them.

"The teacher is truly calm!”

Nan Feng and Zi Ling were even more impressed.

Just at that moment.

In the sky, a huge flying ship was rapidly approaching!

"According to the Soul Guiding Lamp, Nan Feng and Zi Ling should be around here!”

Aboard the ship, Ao Ming and Zhu Xin, looking at the two flickering lanterns, spoke excitedly.

Behind them followed a few elders, emitting terrifying auras.

"Nan Feng Ziling, come out and meet your death!”

They immediately roared down below!

Simultaneously, the flying ship also rapidly approached from above.

The roar of Ao Ming reached the little mountain village below.

The countless villagers who saw a flying ship landing were all astonished.

"A flying ship?”

"Are these cultivators? Heaven, we mustn’t provoke them!”

"It’s over, why would cultivators come to our place?”

The villagers grew a bit panicked.

Zi Ling and Nan Feng’s expressions changed.

"It’s Ao Ming and his group!”

Nan Feng spoke in a low voice.

"What’s going on?” Li Fan also asked Nan Feng.

Nan Feng immediately replied,

“Reporting to the teacher, we were originally from the Three Absolutes Holy Land. Not long ago, our teacher who taught us the Art of Qin and Painting passed away, instructing us to search for fortunes in this region. However, inside the Sect Gate, some have been targeting us…”

"Their arrival likely portends ill intentions…”

Li Fan was somewhat puzzled.

“Three Absolutes Holy Land? What’s that?”

Nan Feng appeared somewhat shocked; how could Senior Li not know about the Three Absolutes Holy Land?

But then, she quickly realized the only reason Senior Li wouldn’t know about the Three Absolutes Holy Land: he must have been out of touch with world affairs for many years, hence entirely unaware of the rise of a new holy land.

After all, even though the Three Absolutes Holy Land might be renowned in the Xuan Tian Realm, to Senior Li, they were probably no more than ants…

She immediately explained cautiously,

“The founder of our Holy Land was quite distinguished in the fields of music, painting, and calligraphy, which led to the establishment of the Holy Land. People within the Holy Land cultivate these three arts…”

She dared not utter the words

“Three Absolute Immortal,” because who would dare to use the word

“absolute” in front of this senior? What did an immortal count for?

Upon hearing this, Li Fan instantly understood.

It was just some sect formed by artistic youths! And they even presented it as a grand

“Holy Land,” basically similar to the music enthusiasts’ club or calligraphy society from his past life…

Since it was merely such an organization, Li Fan was reassured.

Such hobbyist organizations were generally amenable. After all, Li Fan believed no one had greater mastery in music, calligraphy, or painting than him!

If things got serious, they could just have a competition, and once the opponent conceded, that would be that.

Thus, he stepped forward, ready to communicate with these people.

However, before he could speak, Ao Ming, Zhu Xin, and a line of experts aboard the flying ship were all staring with stunned, wide-eyed shock at the scene before them.

"What are those? Are they the Three-Yuan Turtle, the Mammoth Beast, the Great Blue Peng…?”

Ao Ming was astonished upon landing.

"No, the whole Cangli Mountain Range has collapsed; why is this place untouched?”

Zhu Xin was full of confusion.

And behind them, an elder with gray hair was staring in shock at a peasant woman in front of him!

That peasant woman was chopping at the shell of a Three-Yuan Turtle with a kitchen knife!

The shell was being neatly sliced off with each chop!

Hiss!

The elder gasped in astonishment; from such a distance, he could distinctly feel the horrifying aura contained in that knife! How could it be that the shell of the Three-Yuan Turtle, which even the Supreme had difficulty shattering, was being cut through like tofu dregs under this knife?

What in the world was dealing with them?

"Hurry, hurry, leave… There’s immense terror here, immense terror!”

The elder cried out in panic, hastily maneuvering the flying ship!

In an instant, the Yu Kong Flying Ship ascended into the sky, speeding off, turned into a streak of light, and vanished.

Li Fan, who had been about to speak, was suddenly baffled.

Why did they run away?
