Ma Xianhong, Village Chief of Biyou Village, and the new leader of the Jie Sect, advocates for teaching without discrimination. He is one of the Thirty-Six Bandits, and Benn is his grandson.
He has waist-length, light pink-gray hair. When he first appeared, he looked to be in his thirties. He has a black mole directly below each eye, and his eyelashes are long, consistent with the appearance in his remaining memories.
He wears a white robe, is barefoot, and has self-refined Magical Artifacts on his wrists, ankles, and neck. A white bandage is wrapped around his forehead to conceal the scar left from creating the Soul Refining Furnace after losing his memory.
Upon seeing such a handsome young man, Ma Xianhong felt a liking for him and said, "Hello, I am Ma Xianhong, the Village Chief of Biyou Village. May I know what brings you here?"
Lan Luo knew that Ma Xianhong was also a straightforward person, so it was best to speak plainly. He handed over the information he had prepared and said, "I've come to deal with a scumbag.
Zhao Guizhen, originally a Taoist of the Maoshan Shangqing Sect, is from Jurong City, Jiangsu Province. His birthday is October 27th, he is 179 cm tall, and weighs 69 kg. Dissatisfied with the orthodox cultivation methods of the Shangqing Sect, he turned to cultivating the'Seven Fiends Gathering' technique from Wild Maoshan—Wild Maoshan is a general term for various unorthodox arts that claim to be from Maoshan but are not part of the Shangqing Sect. These arts vary widely in quality, and this particular evil art is even scorned by the Wild Maoshan community itself. Zhao Guizhen enhances his strength by killing seven specific male children with particular birth characters to obtain fiendish spirits. After defecting from his sect, he joined Biyou Village as a High-Grade Practitioner.
The Seven Fiends Gathering involves killing male children with specific birth characters in a particular manner. Practitioners of this evil art believe that by doing so, they can acquire and control the children's souls, sealing them within their own bodies to slowly digest them as nourishment. Once a child's soul is fully digested, the practitioner's cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. If the digestion is not complete, when engaging in combat, the practitioner can first consume a pill to resist fiendish energy, activate the child's fiendish spirit, and have it possess their body in a shamanic way, greatly boosting their strength for a short period. The physical mutations caused by the fiendish spirit's possession can also be manipulated."
Upon hearing this, the Outcasts of Biyou Village broke out in a cold sweat. Only Qiu Rang spoke up, "Why should we believe you? Zhao Guizhen was personally recruited by Village Chief Ma. He definitely isn't the kind of person you're describing."
However, Ma Xianhong, seeing the photos of the deceased children and the comparisons of their birth characters in the documents, had already believed seventy percent of it. He just never expected that such an evil person would exist in his Village, so contrary to the Village he dreamed of.
Lan Luo ignored Qiu Rang and simply gazed at Ma Xianhong. Finally, Ma Xianhong spoke, "So, you've come to apprehend Zhao Guizhen?"
"Village Chief Ma, I've heard of your practice of teaching without discrimination, and I highly approve. However, you wouldn't want Everywhere Connect to disrupt your normal lives because of these scumbags, would you?" Lan Luo knew of Ma Xianhong's generosity, but he couldn't possibly protect a murderer who abused children.
Seeing Qiu Rang about to make a move, Fu Rong quickly said, "Why don't we just have Zhao Guizhen come out and confront him face-to-face? It's normal for us not to trust a newcomer. If Zhao Guizhen is indeed a murderer who abuses children, we will absolutely not tolerate it." She, too, felt a pang of discomfort looking at the photos in the documents.
Qiu Rang also felt there was nothing wrong with that, and Ma Xianhong found it acceptable. So, he said to Harichagai, "Harichagai, go bring Zhao Guizhen here. We'll confront him directly."
Soon after, Harichagai returned with a gloomy-eyed Taoist. Zhao Guizhen stepped forward and said, "Village Chief, what's happening that so many people have gathered?"
Lan Luo then used his "Realm of Illusion" illusion technique and directly asked, "Zhao Guizhen, did you kill seven specific male children with particular birth characters because you practiced the Seven Fiends Gathering?"
Zhao Guizhen was completely unaware that he was under an illusion and blurted out his true thoughts: "Hahaha, that's right, those murders were all my doing. It's an honor for their souls to become nourishment for the Seven Fiends Gathering. And this crappy Village? If it weren't for seeking refuge, who would come to this godforsaken place? Those Maoshan Shangqing Sect Taoists are truly hateful. Once I gain power, I'll kill them all."
At this point, if anyone could break Lan Luo's illusion, it might only be the Old Heavenly Master, and Feng Baobao could be considered half. Everyone present was astonished to hear Zhao Guizhen's words.
Qiu Rang was the most enraged: "The Village Chief recruited you, and this is how you repay him? You scoundrel."
Zhao Guizhen, however, said indifferently, "I admit I'm a scoundrel, but what choice do Outcasts like me have? Years and years at Maoshan, and I saw no hope of advancement. Even with all my effort, I only got some low-grade cultivation methods. What's wrong with wanting greater power?"
Hearing Zhao Guizhen's words, some of the Outcasts of ordinary origin present also felt a sense of empathy, as they were not from prominent families nor did they have the backing of renowned sects.
"So, you can kill those innocent children? People need to have a bottom line, and I see none in you." Lan Luo felt neither ill will nor goodwill towards Zhao Guizhen; he wouldn't mind solving the problem if it was convenient. After all, in the Outcast world, many killings occur due to cultivation methods. Didn't the Jia-Shen Rebellion itself start because of those famous sects and Outcast families?
Village Chief Ma then said to Lan Luo, "I'm sorry, Lan Luo, but please let me handle this personally. I want to deal with this scoundrel with my own hands." Earlier, Fu Rong had excitedly told him about Lan Luo's background, realizing he was a big star. He was also curious how Lan Luo, at such a young age, possessed such strength; even he felt he was no match.
Lan Luo's goal for this trip was originally Ma Xianhong, so he didn't mind and said, "Please proceed, Village Chief. My main purpose in coming here is to discuss artifact refining with you. Zhao Guizhen is just a side matter. Of course, to prevent him from escaping, I'll need to use some small tricks." With that, Lan Luo directly acted, trapping Ma Xianhong and Zhao Guizhen within a visible Mirror Dimension. Those outside could see the battle inside, and Lan Luo would only undo the Mirror Dimension once a victor was decided.
Ma Xianhong was also very happy to hear that Lan Luo wanted to discuss artifact refining with him. He completely disregarded Zhao Guizhen. No matter how strong a High-Grade Practitioner's abilities were, they couldn't contend with his body full of Magical Artifacts.
The Three Treasure Beads on his neck, activated by the middle bead, provide excellent protective effects. When the protective effect is broken, the middle bead will also shatter. However, the two side beads can repair the middle one.
There is also the Black Bucket Armor, which is the strongest defensive Magical Artifact refined by Xianhong. Zhao Guizhen does not have the ability to seal Qi, so he absolutely cannot break through the Black Bucket Armor's defense.
The sound produced by the Soul Shaking Bell when it shakes is an attack directed at the soul. For most Outcasts, it is a very useful Magical Artifact.
And there is the Empty Crying Roar, a sound-wave-type Magical Artifact with immense power. In the original story, if it weren't for Feng Baobao's abnormal recovery ability, there would basically be no subsequent events.
