Emerging from the forest, the foreign weapon spirits are treated to the sight of a massive river.

Near the shores of the river is a large wooden bridge with a watermill attached to its side.

Beyond the bridge is a giant plot of farmland, and passing the farmland are houses with glazed-tile roofs.

"..."

Glancing at the foreign weapon spirits, who are taking in the view of their village, Yang Hai says—

"Welcome to Serpent Deity Village."

The feature that stands out the most in this village is the 15-meter stone sculpture of Lord Tian She Zi, which is situated at its heart.

"..."

Continuing to take in the sight, Shao Tianming mutters—

"Never thought I'd see a rural land village inside of a ruin..."

"Indeed."

Letting the foreign weapon spirits take in the scenery for a few moments more, Yang Hai eventually says—

"Come then, the village chief is expecting us."

"Un."

"..."

As everyone else starts to move along, Long Hua turns to Yao Ying, and asks—

"Well? Still feeling something calling out to you?"

"...Un."

Turning to Long Hua, Yao Ying nods, and replies—

"Much more clearly now. It seems to be coming from... Underground?"

"Hmm."

Leaning her head over, Tian Cheng asks—

"Shall we sneak out tonight, master?"

"After getting a good look of the lands, sure. For now, let's just follow the others."

Following Yang Hai's lead, the group crosses the bridge, and on the other side—

"Hm? More of them?"

"Their attires look really odd as usual..."

"What did you expect? Hm? Hey, is that Lao Teng and Gui Lian?"

The gathered villagers examined the group with great curiosity, as they entered.

"All of them are dressed like Immortals..."

"This place is...-? It's really old fashion..."

Similarly, the foreign weapon spirits looked back at the villagers with the same degree of curiosity.

Eventually, the group is brought over to the heart of the village, where the giant statue of Lord Tian She Zi is situated.

"Hm?"

Seeing other foreign weapon spirit groups present, Ye Chen mutters—

"Looks like we weren't the first ones to get here..."

"Not too surprising. If we were first, those villagers should have showed more astonishment."

"..."

Standing in front of the giant statue is a man with white hair and red eyes, Zhu Xu, the village chief.

Turning to the foreign weapon spirits, Zhu Xu asks—

"Among you all, which of you holds status in your society?"
