His gaze swept over the ancient stone houses in the village, finally settling on the large willow tree at the village entrance that emitted a shimmering green light, and an indescribable turmoil welled up in his heart.
He had assumed that the ancestral land of the Stone Clan, if not possessing as many divine substances as the ancestral land of the Fire Kingdom, would at least be a treasure land, but he never expected it to be just a quiet and simple little village.
To be honest, he was somewhat disappointed. Even though the spiritual energy here was good and the willow tree at the entrance of the village was quite extraordinary, he didn't see anything else.
As for the silver peach trees, star grass, and the like, under his double pupils, he could easily tell that they had only been planted a few years ago.
If he was not mistaken, those things were basically collected by Shi An, who was by his side, and his good younger brother.
Seeing the fleeting hint of disappointment in Shi Yi's eyes, Shi An immediately understood why he was like that, and then slowly asked, "Are you a little disappointed?"
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi nodded quietly, then whispered, "I originally thought that the ancestral land of my Shi clan should be a place like the ancestral land of the Fire Kingdom, but I didn't expect it to be just such an ordinary village."
"Ordinary...?"
Upon hearing Shi Yi say that Shi Village was just an ordinary village, Shi An fell silent. Indeed, compared to Shi Kingdom, it was an ordinary village that couldn't be more ordinary. But who could know that beneath this ordinary appearance lay an opportunity that would make even the Supreme Being envious?
Half of the original true explanation, divine body, one of the ten fiercest, supreme immortal king-level giant...
Thinking of this, Shi An couldn't help but smile: "Perhaps ordinariness is just on the surface!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Shi Yi frowned upon hearing Shi An's words. What did he mean by that? Was there something here that his double pupils couldn't see?
While pondering, Shi Yi had already mobilized the divine power within his body and unleashed the power of his double pupils. Today, he wanted to see what else in this small village was beyond the comprehension of even his double pupils.
"Buzz!"
As Shi Yi unleashed the power of his double pupils, two even more dazzling divine rays shot out from his eyes, sweeping across the entire Stone Village, attempting to penetrate all illusions and uncover the hidden secrets.
In an instant, the entire Stone Village seemed completely transparent under his gaze. Every blade of grass, every tree, every house in the village seemed to have been stripped of all its secrets, becoming crystal clear.
However, no matter how he stared, the stone village remained tranquil and simple, showing no signs of anything unusual.
"It seems I was overthinking it."
Shi Yi pondered to himself, slowly withdrawing the power of his double pupils, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing across his face once more.
At the same time, he seemed to realize that he might have had too high expectations for his ancestral homeland.
Seeing this, Shi An couldn't help but smile faintly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he gestured and said, "Since you're here, why not take a good look around!"
With that, Shi An took the lead and walked into the village. Shi Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.
The two wandered among the stone houses, feeling the tranquility and harmony of the place, each with their own distinct feelings.
Before long, the two arrived at the towering willow tree.
Bathed in moonlight, the willow tree exuded a faint, peaceful glow, as if resonating with heaven and earth.
"The Willow Goddess!"
Under Shi Yi's astonished gaze, Shi An, standing under the willow tree, appeared unusually calm, and his voice carried a hint of respect.
In response to Shi An's greeting, Liu Shen merely swayed her branches slightly before falling silent again.
She had seen people born with double pupils before; although their achievements were all extraordinary, they weren't enough to arouse her interest, especially their temperament...
This scene made Shi An realize that Liu Shen seemed unwilling to have much interaction with Shi Yi.
So, instead of having Shi Yi greet the Willow Goddess with him, he turned to Shi Yi and said, "Brother..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he noticed that Shi Yi was staring seriously into the distance.
There, Shi Hao was quietly comprehending the Kunpeng Treasure Technique.
"Um?"
Perhaps it was because Shi Yi's gaze was too intense, or perhaps Shi Hao sensed something in the Supreme Bone on Shi Yi's chest, that made him frown slightly and then open his eyes.
What are you doing here?
Looking at Shi Yi standing not far from him, Shi Hao was shocked.
Indeed, what could be more surprising than opening your eyes to find your enemy in your own home?
A look of vigilance and hostility flashed in Shi Hao's eyes, and his divine power began to surge around him, a posture of being ready to fight at any moment.
However, compared to Shi Hao's panic, Shi Yi remained calm. He knew very well that since Shi An had brought him here, he would not allow the two of them to fight, at least not in the village.
As expected, before Shi Hao could make a move, Shi An stopped him first.
Shi An patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and said slowly, "Brother, calm down. This is the ancestral land of the Shi Clan. It is reasonable for Shi Yi, as a member of the Shi Clan, to be here."
"But he..."
Listening to Shi An's explanation, Shi Hao wanted to say something, but in the end he found himself unable to refute it.
Indeed, Shi Yi is also a member of the Shi clan, so it's reasonable for him to be here. It's not that just because he arrived first, the other person can't come.
Thinking of this, Shi Hao's aura gradually calmed down, and he looked at Shi Yi calmly, saying, "This is the ancestral land of the Shi clan. I advise you not to act recklessly."
"What's wrong? What happened? What's wrong?"
"Little one, what happened? Why did you suddenly make such a commotion?"
"Has a ferocious beast invaded?"
"Are you stupid?! How could it be a ferocious beast! With Liu Shen here, there's no way a ferocious beast could get close to the village, especially with Xiao An here too."
Just then, the villagers, who had been sleeping soundly, were all awakened by the sudden commotion. They poured out of the stone house, carrying all sorts of weapons, and gathered around the group of people under the big willow tree.
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Shi An couldn't help but sigh softly, and then explained to everyone, "Don't panic, everyone, it's just a misunderstanding."
As he spoke, he pointed to Shi Yi and said, "This is Shi Yi. He is also a member of the Shi clan. God Liu said he was searching for the ancestral land, so I brought him back. I have no ill intentions."
After hearing Shi An's words, the villagers, though still uneasy, gradually put down their weapons.
However, their gazes toward Shi Yi still carried a hint of scrutiny and wariness, after all, they had all heard about the feud between Shi Yi and Shi Hao.
"Hmph, no ill intent? Who knows!"
Among them, Pi Hou muttered under his breath. He was closest to Shi Hao, so naturally he didn't give Shi Yi a friendly look.
"You little rascal, don't talk nonsense."
Seeing this, Da Zhuang quickly tugged at the monkey's sleeve, signaling him not to say anything more.
