"No matter how great the danger, I will not give up!" Long Yi said, "The Dragon Roar Sword is an heirloom of my Dragon Clan, and I will definitely obtain it."
"That's right, all five swords are indispensable!"
Ye Shisan said directly, "I ask the village chief to make arrangements as soon as possible."
"Everyone has traveled a long way, there's no need to rush."
The old village chief smiled, "I've already sent someone to prepare food. Tonight, we'll celebrate, and tomorrow, after you've rested, I'll take you to the Eye of the North Sea!"
"Since that's the case, we respectfully accept!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists slightly. Although he wanted to get the Dragon Roar Sword as soon as possible, he knew very well that the Dragon Roar Sword was no ordinary item, and obtaining it would require passing through many trials.
Long Yi had sustained some injuries from the earlier confrontation outside, so it would be inappropriate for her to go to the Eye of the North Sea in her current state.
News of outsiders arriving in Beihai Village attracted many onlookers. People were slaughtering chickens and sheep, their faces beaming with smiles.
In the past thousand years, no outsiders had ever come to Beihai Village. Even if tens of thousands of people reached the summit of the North Sea, they were all blocked outside Beihai Village. Only members of the Five Great Ancient Clans were allowed to enter Beihai Village, a rule established in ancient times.
Legend had it that in ancient times, the ancestors of Beihai Village had a deep friendship with the Five Great Ancient Clans, and they had even fought against the Ghost Hall together. This friendship, passed down through thousands of years, was naturally meant to continue.
Crab finished his work, took a careful look, and then came to Long Yi's side, smiling honestly, "I was too heavy-handed before. Please don't take it to heart, young lady. I didn't know you were from the Five Great Ancient Clans, otherwise, I wouldn't have acted like that."
"I certainly won't take it to heart!"
Long Yi waved her hand, "However, I didn't realize there were such experts in Beihai Village. They look like ordinary people, but their movements are extremely sharp when they fight."
"This is the summit of the North Sea, different from other places!"
Crab said directly, "People born in Beihai Village are born with immense strength. As they grow, they gain mysterious powers that ordinary people cannot handle. It is said that this is due to the spirits of our ancestors, but I don't know if it's true."
"Perhaps it is true!"
Long Yi shrugged slightly, not paying too much attention. What she cared about now was the Dragon Roar Sword. If she could obtain the Dragon Roar Sword, her strength would undoubtedly increase again, which was crucial for her.
As the successor of the Dragon Clan, possibly the only bloodline of the Dragon Clan, she would not allow the Dragon Clan to be annihilated.
When the food and drinks were all laid out, everyone gathered around the bonfire, dancing joyfully, creating a lively scene.
Looking at the scene before him, Lu Fan also smiled, drinking the special fruit wine of Beihai Village, feeling quite relaxed.
If this place were called a paradise, it would not be an exaggeration. It looked very comfortable, and the people were simple and honest. If not for the mission, Lu Fan would have truly wanted to live here long-term.
"This fruit wine is called Orange Wine. It is sweet when it enters the mouth!"
The old village chief chuckled, "I wonder if it suits everyone's taste?"
"This Orange Wine is indeed excellent!"
Long Yi smiled, "I never expected to be able to drink such fine wine at the summit of the North Sea."
"Besides fine wine, we also have delicious food!"
Crab held up a large leg, "This is mutated rhinoceros meat. Eating this meat not only replenishes strength but can even enhance one's power."
"Yes, this mutated rhinoceros meat is also very good!"
The old village chief nodded with satisfaction, "Under normal circumstances, it's not always possible to get this. Da Yu and the others went hunting today and happened to encounter it."
"It seems we're in for a treat today!"
Lu Fan was overjoyed and ate the beef and drank the wine without reservation. After traveling day and night for days, having such delicious food was quite tempting.
Meanwhile, not far from Beihai Village, a group of people in black stood, gazing at Beihai Village with sinister expressions in their eyes.
"Captain, why don't we enter Beihai Village directly?"
A man in black spoke, "This way, we can directly snatch the Dragon Roar Sword, wouldn't that be faster!"
"Do not underestimate them!"
The leader in black said coldly, "They are not ordinary people, and besides them, Beihai Village is also very strange. If we enter rashly, it will surely cause trouble."
The man in black nodded slightly, feeling somewhat helpless. As members of the Ghost Hall, they had always been decisive and ruthless, but they had never been as secretive as they were today.
After all, the Ghost Hall had been able to awe all factions in ancient times, causing its members to possess immense killing intent and to not put others in their eyes.
The purpose of this Ghost Hall squad coming to the summit of the North Sea was to snatch the Dragon Roar Sword. If they failed this time, it would not be a minor matter for them.
The bonfire party continued late into the night. Lu Fan and the others were not only well-fed and drunk but also felt their spirits revitalized.
"Old village chief, could you tell us what happened in ancient times?"
Lin Ke asked, "I'm quite curious about this."
"In ancient times, sects were numerous, and countless powerful individuals competed!"
The old village chief said, "That era was truly a hundred flowers blooming. The most dazzling were the Five Great Ancient Clans. To be one of the Five Great Ancient Clans, one must have extraordinary capabilities."
"It seems you know quite a bit about the Five Great Ancient Clans!"
Ye Shisan closed his eyes, "Even in the Scripture Repository of my Ye Clan, there are not many records about the Five Great Ancient Clans."
"Beihai Village has been passed down from generation to generation, so I know something about ancient events."
The old village chief said directly, "In ancient times, the Ghost Hall Master, in order to increase his strength, did not hesitate to devour countless lives, which angered the ancient sects and sparked a great war."
"In that war, the forces led by the Five Great Ancient Clans were like a rainbow, gradually suppressing the Ghost Hall and the many forces led by the Ghost Hall, thus leading to the current era."
"I see!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "So, the Ghost Hall was not fighting alone; it had many allies?"
"That is natural!"
The old village chief nodded slightly, "Whether it's the Five Great Ancient Clans or the Ghost Hall, they would have ancient sects. As for which side was stronger, it depended on the overall strength of the Ghost Hall!"
"I am enlightened!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists slightly with respect. After hearing the old village chief's knowledgeable words, Lu Fan had a much clearer understanding of what had happened in ancient times.
As it grew late, everyone returned to their rooms. They were going to the Eye of the North Sea tomorrow, so they naturally wouldn't delay.
The old village chief returned to his room but did not fall asleep. Instead, he looked towards a certain direction on the summit of the North Sea, his eyes becoming sharp. He seemed to have discovered something, and his expression was filled with great displeasure.
