As the next morning dawned, before anyone had stirred, the old village chief sat at the entrance of Beihai Village, appearing calm and composed.
Lu Fan emerged from his room and, seeing the old chief's figure, smiled, "I didn't expect the old village chief to be up so early. It seems you are quite concerned about this matter."
"It's a habit. It's like this every day, perhaps it's just old age!" The old village chief smiled, "Moreover, this matter concerns the entire Beihai Village, and I, an old man, cannot afford to delay."
As they were talking, Lin Ke, Long Yi, and others also arrived at the village entrance, looking energetic. They had come to the peak of Beihai to search for the Dragon Roar Sword, and now that its whereabouts were known, they could go and retrieve it.
"Village Chief, where is this Dragon Roar Sword?"
Crab spoke up, "Why have I never heard you mention it before?"
"The Dragon Roar Sword is of great importance, how could I mention it lightly!"
The old village chief stated directly, "But then again, now is the time for the divine sword to reappear!"
Everyone nodded slightly, their faces filled with joy, especially Long Yi, who was even more excited. He knew very well that once the Dragon Roar Sword appeared, it would be the greatest weapon for him.
"Village Chief, where is the Dragon Roar Sword?" Big Fish asked, "I am familiar with many places on the peak of Beihai. You only need to give me a few directions, and I will take them there!"
"Naturally, it is within this Beihai Village!" The old village chief said directly, "If they can find Beihai Village, it is due to the sword's sensing power. Otherwise, they would not have been able to come to Beihai!"
Hearing this, Crab and Big Fish were slightly surprised. They had lived in Beihai Village for so many years, yet they did not know that a divine sword was hidden within it.
"You don't need to be surprised. I will take you there now!"
The old village chief spoke with conviction and then stepped towards the back mountain of Beihai Village, his expression becoming solemn. Few people came to this back mountain, and under normal circumstances, the villagers of Beihai rarely came here.
It wasn't that it was a forbidden area, but rather that the back mountain was desolate and not worth visiting. Since ancient times, there had been legends that there were unclean things in the back mountain, even man-eating monsters. Over time, it became even more abandoned.
"Village Chief, this back mountain is not an ordinary place!"
Crab frowned, "And under normal circumstances, one cannot enter this back mountain casually. How could a divine sword be hidden in the back mountain?"
"That's right, the back mountain has always been deserted since ancient times, and there are even man-eating monsters."
Big Fish said repeatedly, "How could the Dragon Roar Sword be here!"
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. The reason for this legend is that our ancestors did not want you to know the location of the Dragon Roar Sword," the old village chief said directly.
Big Fish frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased, "Our ancestors might have been too cautious, deceiving even us descendants!"
"The divine sword is coveted by many, and it cannot be discovered by others. Our ancestors had no choice but to do this!" the old village chief said directly.
Before long, they arrived at the back mountain of Beihai Village. Within this back mountain, apart from weeds, there was nothing, which made Lu Fan quite surprised.
"Old Village Chief, what is going on?"
The old village chief smiled faintly, "The Dragon Roar Sword is in the dry well ahead. There must be something within that dry well. If you want to obtain the Dragon Roar Sword, you must enter the empty well!"
"So it's that well!"
Crab exclaimed, "I remember playing there when I was a child, but it was later sealed with stones. I heard that monster came out of this well. So there's something else within this well!"
"It seems all of this was arranged long ago!"
Big Fish shrugged, "We didn't know anything! It's truly disheartening."
"Our ancestors had their reasons!"
Crab patted Big Fish, "Why do you care so much!"
Big Fish remained silent. After all, no matter what treasure it was, everyone was quite covetous. This Dragon Roar Sword was in their Beihai Village, and Big Fish naturally felt a bit displeased.
A divine sword that had been in Beihai Village for thousands of years was about to be taken away by others, which brought a mix of emotions.
"You two, don't say any more!"
The old village chief spoke, "The Dragon Roar Sword was never an item of Beihai. Beihai Village has only been temporarily keeping it!"
"The old village chief is right!"
Crab nodded, "Our ancestors had a deep friendship with the five ancient clans of the upper world. We cannot be dissatisfied for a little bit of petty gain."
Big Fish said no more, only staring intently at the dry well.
Lu Fan was also direct. With a palm strike, he shook open the large stone on the dry well. From within the dry well, a ancient aura emanated, causing Long Yi to step back a few paces.
"I never expected that within this dry well, there would be an ancient aura!"
Ye Shisan spoke, "It seems the Dragon Spirit Sword is indeed in this dry well, there is absolutely no mistake!"
"How could what the old village chief said be wrong."
Long Yi said softly, with a hint of joy. The Dragon Roar Sword was about to be obtained, which was a great honor for him.
"You few go in together!"
The old village chief said, "I will guard here for you."
"Old Village Chief, aren't you coming with us?"
Lin Ke asked in surprise, "After all, you haven't been into this dry well either."
"I still have to welcome distinguished guests. You go in first!"
The old village chief smiled, "This Dragon Roar Sword is no ordinary item. Who knows how many people covet it. If others were to enter this ancient well, wouldn't that be quite troublesome!"
Seeing the old village chief's insistence, Long Yi could only nod slightly and was the first to enter the ancient well.
Lu Fan and the others did not hesitate. Their purpose in coming to Beihai this time was to obtain the Dragon Roar Sword, and they would not miss this opportunity.
Seeing Lu Fan and the others leave, Big Fish said with dissatisfaction, "Village Chief, we haven't entered the ancient well either. Why don't we go in and take a look? Besides, this Dragon Roar Sword is a Dragon clan item, and we don't covet it!"
"Didn't I just say? Distinguished guests will arrive today!"
The old village chief narrowed his eyes, "We should be welcoming distinguished guests here."
"Distinguished guests?"
Crab asked in surprise, "Who is the distinguished guest the Village Chief is talking about? Is someone else coming to Beihai Village today?"
"Beihai Village has been hidden for so many years. I can still sense how many people have come to the peak of Beihai!"
The old village chief narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming colder, as if he was ready for a fight. His aura was gradually rising.
At this moment, on the peak of Beihai, several figures moved back and forth, their gazes fixed on Beihai Village, carrying a ghostly aura.
"Captain, if we don't make a move soon, won't the Dragon Roar Sword change hands!" a man in black said.
