Upon Xu Que's arrival, cheers could be heard.

Everyone gathered around and asked if he had been hurt but judging from Xu Que's unfazed appearance, everybody was surprised and praised that immortal elder Xu's skills were unremarkable.

"Don't worry, my fellow villagers. With the spell that I had set up, those people will never come back to cause trouble again." Xu Que assured the villagers.

The villagers were very thankful. They wanted to kneel down to thank him but were stopped by Xu Que. It was after countless rounds of persuading that they decided not to kneel.

At this time, a man from the crowd walked out and worriedly asked, "Immortal Elder Xu, what do we do now? During your battle, we saw two people sneaking off from the battlefield. We are afraid that they will call for more backup..."

"Oh, two of them ran off?" Xu Que didn't look too surprised.

He was too fixated on killing Elder Liu and the others. Two disciples escaping from him was rather normal.

This wasn't a very big deal to him. Even if none of them escaped, receiving no news from Elder Liu and the others would cause Celestial Sect to return anyway.

"Please rest assured, you people can just stay here. The spell will protect you all." Xu Que comforted the group.

Even if he decided to bring the villagers and flee through the underground passage to the back of the mountains, the cultivators would have a vast range of powers to search for them. The results would be the same.

In addition, without the protection of the Four Directions Desolation, it would only put the villagers in more danger.

"Everyone listen to Big brother Xu Que. He will definitely protect us." Xiao Rou ran out and told everybody.

Xu Que smiled at her. She started to blush and looked cutely sincere.

The villagers saw her sincerity and couldn't help but to reveal honest smiles all around. Xiao Rou then turned and ran away.

Everybody eventually scattered and returned to their homes to rest.

Xu Que was starting to think about what to do with Pan Shan village's future.

After all, he could not stay here for a long period of time. The world is vast and he desired to explore them but before leaving, he had to decide on the future plans for the safety of the village.

With the Four Directions Desolation locked in position, the Pan Shan villagers were all safe and protected.

With such large areas of land and lakes, including many goats and chickens on the mountains, even if the villagers do not step foot outside, they will be able to survive in the future and be self-sufficient.

However, it seems like the village still needs some supplies. For example, food reserves and also some seeds to be planted.

Xu Que found the men and heard that there was a small town in the vicinity of Pan Shan Village. The village not only had commoners residing in it, but also have frequent visits by cultivators who went there to enjoy themselves.

"After walking past two mountains, you will be able to see the small town. Immortal Xu, shall we go instead?"

The men learnt that Xu Que wanted to purchase supplies on the village's behalf and became very concerned.

The reason was because Xu Que's wanted posters were all over the streets of the small town. He will definitely be attacked by more cultivators if he goes there.
