Lin Fan was elated right now. He felt that the people outside were simply way too friendly.
Especially these villagers. They were simple, kind, and hospitable. Moreover, they had enough respect for him.
"If not for the fact that I have a bigger goal, I would really like to interact with you guys. There aren't any strong young men in the village. There must be a lot of things that I can't do."
At this moment, Lin Fan felt that he was really kind. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have thought of these things.
...
"Senior Brother Yuan, Chief White Stone sent that kid away. Along the way, I realized that the chief wanted to kill that kid, but for some reason, he did not do anything."
Yuan Tianjun sneered. "That kid is lucky. I guess White Stone is afraid of the consequences of killing a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. Since we have confirmed it, it's time for us to take action."
"Senior Brother, should we kill him halfway, or should we enter the village and kill him in front of everyone?" Huang Hou asked.
Yuan Tianjun didn't even think about it. His lips curled into a smile. "Of course we will enter the village and kill him. That way, we can let those ignorant people sing our praises."
Hearing this, the other disciples grinned. "Good idea, Senior Brother."
To them, cultivation was indeed very important. However, they were also very concerned about their reputation outside.
The group moved quickly and waited in the village.
They were sure that Chief White Stone was their target. As for the rest of the villagers, they had observed them, and there was nothing wrong with them.
To be honest, White Stone was smart. He knew how to hide among the villagers.
At the entrance of the village.
A child with a ponytail could be seen running around barefooted at the entrance of the village with a rattle drum in her hand.
Bang!
The child accidentally bumped into something and sat on the ground. Then, he raised his big watery eyes and looked at the strangers in front of him. "Who are you?"
Yuan Tianjun looked at her in disdain. "Little girl, where are the adults?" he asked calmly.
"Senior Brother, do we need to check on the little girl?" Yuan Tianjun asked softly.
"No need. She's just a little girl. What's wrong with her?" Yuan Tianjun said.
Soon, Huang Hou, who had gone to scout for information, returned. "Senior Brother, that guy is about to arrive."
"Alright." Yuan Tianjun nodded and said sternly, "Go and gather everyone in the village."
The child looked at the people in front of him and felt quite afraid. He then picked up the rattle-drum and ran into the village.
"Someone's coming."
"Someone's coming."
The little girl ran happily on the road, shouting to every household.
In an ordinary kitchen, a hunched old woman scooped up water with a watermelon ladle and poured it into a pot. Her voice was low and calm, "Old man, add some fire and boil the water. We're going to kill the pig soon."
The old man who was lighting the fire nodded. His withered hand grabbed a handful of firewood and smiled, "Got it. Go and see how the pig is doing. Don't let it run away."
"Don't worry, with the Village Chief here, the pigs won't be able to run."
…
"Senior Brother, this village is really strange. There's not even a strong man here. Did they all leave?"
Yuan Tianjun stood at the entrance of the village and stared ahead. "That's normal. This village can't support many people. I'm afraid they've all left for the outside world, leaving only the old and the young behind for the evil organization to infiltrate."
"Senior Brother, they're here."
White Stone, the Village Chief, walked slowly towards the entrance of the village with his walking stick. He looked at Yuan Tianjun, but then lowered his gaze and looked at the ground.
"Lords, is there anything I can help you with?" White Stone's voice was calm, completely different from the way he spoke to Lin Fan previously. Although he still addressed Lin Fan as' lord ', there was a hint of mockery in his tone.
Huang Hou took a step forward. "White Stone, stop pretending. Do you think we don't know who you are? Hiding in this village, all alone and destitute, it must be tough. "
"I didn't expect to be discovered by you guys. What a pity." White Stone grinned. "It's not tough at all. I'm the Village Chief. How can it be tough? Lords, don't you think so?"
Just then, the villagers walked out of their houses and stood at the entrance of the village. There were more than thirty of them.
Seeing that there were only thirty of them, Yuan Tianjun frowned. "Where are the rest of the villagers?"
"Lord, they're all asleep. They haven't woken up yet. What happened to the Village Chief?" the old lady said calmly.
In each of the houses, there was a corpse lying in a pool of blood. It was a gruesome death.
Yuan Tianjun did not think too much about it. "Your Village Chief is from the evil organization. He's hiding among you guys. We're here on behalf of the sect to kill him and save you guys from your suffering …"
White Stone stood there calmly with a disdainful look in his eyes. However, Yuan Tianjun and the rest didn't notice it.
To them, White Stone was just a turtle in a jar.
He said so much because he wanted the villagers to understand that they were here to save their lives.
"Sigh, what a pity …" White Stone shook his head.
"It's a pity indeed. You've hidden yourself so well. If not for the sect's discovery, you would have killed all the villagers after you're done with them. But don't worry, you won't have the chance to do so." Yuan Tianjun said.
"Big brother, do you think a person can still walk without a leg?" The child came to Huang Hou and sat on the ground. He hugged Huang Hou's leg and asked curiously.
"Of course not." Huang Hou replied.
"Oh." The child seemed to have understood something. He patted Huang Hou's leg with his tiny hands. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed.
Huang Hou felt something strange. He lowered his head and realized that his left calf seemed to have been separated from his body. In a split second, he screamed in pain.
"My leg, my leg …" Huang Hou fell to the ground in a daze. He held onto his broken leg with both hands as blood gushed out of his wound, staining the ground red.
Seeing this, Yuan Tianjun was shocked. Without any hesitation, he slapped at the child.
As for the little child that they thought was harmless, his body nimbly dodged the palm.
"You guys …" Yuan Tianjun was stunned. He looked at White Stone in disbelief, then at the villagers. He did not expect this harmless child to …
"I've said it before. Hiding in Ancient River Village isn't tiring at all. There are so many of my people here." White Stone's lips were torn apart. He then pressed on the torn skin. "It's all your fault. You guys ruined my clothes when you came."
"You …" Yuan Tianjun and the rest suddenly felt that something was amiss.
This was different from what they had expected.
And at this moment, a horrifying scene happened.
"Grandpa chief, I can't take it anymore. This shirt is too small for me." The child laid on his scalp. With a swipe of his hands, his scalp and hair were ripped off. In this small body, there was a man curled up.
Crack!
The man's bones vibrated and his body contorted. He then stood up slowly and looked at Yuan Tianjun and the rest with a cruel smile. "Alright, I feel much better now. This skin is too small."
