I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 121: Stirring Up Trouble

Bang~

During the transition period between spring and summer, the weather was unpredictable like the whims of gods and spirits. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the night sky, and thunder and lightning erupted.

As pea-sized raindrops pounded on the roof tiles of the Earth God Temple, another caravan arrived seeking shelter.

This caravan had significantly more people than the darts masters of the Fuyuan Escort Agency, with men, women, old, and young, instantly making the previously spacious temple crowded.

Adults were scolding children who cried, voices clamoring and screaming nearly turning the Earth God Temple into a marketplace.

Most of the travelers with the caravan were common folk, either in groups of three or five or with their families, even babies in swaddling clothes.

It was difficult not to be crowded and lively!

With no other choice, Zhang Yuan had to tidy up the bonfire and voluntarily move his belongings to the corner.

To give more space to these common people.

After all, his dinner was already cooked, so it was better to make do for the night and leave the next morning, avoiding trouble when possible.

Someone took a liking to the wild hare Zhang Yuan had roasted and came over offering to buy it.

But Zhang Yuan refused.

He had just been courteous to Lin Zhenbei earlier.

In truth, not to mention two wild hares, even ten could be finished clean.

As he was sipping fragrant chicken soup and tearing into the bread wrapped around the roast,

he suddenly felt someone watching him.

Zhang Yuan instinctively turned his head, seeing not far away a little girl holding her dry rations, eagerly watching him.

More precisely, the food in his hand!

The little one was only about five or six years old, with her hair tied in two buns, sculpted from pink jade, chubby cheeks, very adorable.

She leaned against the lap of a gentle-looking man, with a graceful beautiful woman sitting beside.

The scholarly man and the woman were conversing softly, not noticing the little girl’s actions.

Absolutely a family of three.

And when Zhang Yuan’s gaze met hers, the little girl quickly turned her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

This guilty look amused Zhang Yuan.

As a result, the little girl buried her head into the scholarly man’s lap, humming continually.

The scholarly man, reacting, comforted her with a few words, confused.

The little girl then looked back at Zhang Yuan.

The scholarly man noticed, paused, then realized.

He thought for a moment, handed his daughter to the woman beside him, then stood up and approached Zhang Yuan, cupping his hands, bowing, saying, "Young hero, sorry to disturb you, may I ask..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yuan directly picked up a whole roasted rabbit and handed it over: "Take it."

The scholarly man was a bit dazed, never expecting Zhang Yuan to be so agreeable.

He was caught off guard, hesitating for a moment before snapping back to reality, hurriedly pulling out silver taels from his pocket: "Thank you, young hero!"

"You’re welcome."

Zhang Yuan accepted the loose silver handed over.

He certainly didn’t lack this amount of money, but there was no need to give it away for free.

In fact, he mainly found the little girl adorable, or he wouldn’t have sold it to them.

The scholarly man felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, happily returning with the fragrant, greasy roasted rabbit to share with his wife and daughter.

The little girl was overjoyed, savoring the torn-off rabbit leg with gusto.

Seeing this made Zhang Yuan feel considerably more cheerful.

Outside, the wind and rain intensified.

The thunder’s roar was one after another, and the gusts of wind bullied the raindrops, forcefully blowing open the Earth God Temple’s door.

Those affected by the wind and rain quickly got up, preparing to shut the temple door again.

Boom!

But before the door was securely shut, a powerful force suddenly hit them, forcibly pushing the temple door open again.

The people struggling to close the door were caught off guard, immediately thrown off balance, with cries of alarm echoing!

And the commotion from the entrance instantly drew everyone’s attention in the temple.

They saw about a dozen men in black clothes filing in.

Each wore a cloak, wielding swords and bows, fully armed, their rugged appearance, clearly not good people!

The originally noisy temple hall suddenly became exceptionally quiet.

Many people showed expressions of fear and panic.

"So many people?"

A gloomy-looking man in black swept his gaze around, lingered for a moment on the darts masters of the Fuyuan Escort Agency, then frowned and said: "Make some space."

As soon as he finished speaking, two men rushed forward, shouting, "Make way, let us through!"

They primarily targeted the commoners traveling with the caravan, who were frightened into compliance, scurrying aside.

Even the family of three squeezed closer to Zhang Yuan.

And the caravan’s guards merely watched with alert eyes.

They neither stopped nor intervened.

A large area was quickly vacated, and the men in black sat down grandly.

They unpacked, taking out wine flasks and dry rations, eating and drinking as if no one else were around, loudly talking and laughing.

Seeing these fierce-looking men did not intend to use violence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But these common folk dared not make any more noise, fearing to agitate this group and invite trouble.

They didn’t even dare to expect the caravan guards to stand up for them.

Because everyone had seen the guards’ earlier behavior.

Some people were silently praying to the Earth God, hoping for a peaceful night.

However, it was clear that the deities wouldn’t answer such prayers.

A man in black drained his wine flask, seemingly unsatisfied.

He didn’t ask his companions for more, but instead, his bloodshot eyes searched among the crowd.

Anyone caught by this man’s gaze felt a chill.

The black-clothed man’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He eagerly stood up, striding toward Zhang Yuan’s location.

The people in front saw this scene and hurriedly scrambled aside, making way for him.

The companions of the black-clothed man watched.

Instead of stopping him, they showed expressions of delight, expecting a good show!

However, this black-clothed man wasn’t heading for Zhang Yuan, his real target was the scholarly man’s wife.

"This little beauty is quite nice, come here and have a drink with us!"

The black-clothed man leered, extending his big hand, reaching straight for the graceful woman.

The woman visibly blanched with alarm, her husband hastily stood up to defend: "What are you doing?"

Slap!

The black-clothed man slapped the scholarly man down.

Knocking him out cold!

"Husband!"

The woman was completely panicked, immediately throwing herself onto her husband in tears.

The little girl beside was petrified with fear.

But from somewhere mustered the courage, she wailed, lunging at the black-clothed man: "Don’t hit my daddy!"

The black-clothed man sneered, raising his leg to kick the little girl away.

Many in the temple showed expressions unable to bear watching, the caravan’s guards exchanged looks.

Some were outraged and wanted to intervene, but were intimidated by the other black-clothed men, their courage vanished.

As for Lin Zhenbei, the leader of the Fuyuan Escort Agency, he held a fiercely angry young escort tightly, saying in a low voice: "Don’t meddle!"

Experience in the martial world—those who like to meddle always die the fastest.

So everyone just watched helplessly, as the black-clothed man ruthlessly attacked a young girl!
