After a while,
Seeing their silent expression as if everyone accepted their fate, a surprise flashed through Lin Lee's eyes.
'It's unbelievable. What kind of secret is hidden in the village that they are willing to sacrifice everything in order to keep the secrecy?'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then raised his hand.
All the nanobots flying daggers retracted in his hand and disappeared.
Surprising all of the villagers around, including the Village Chief,
Lin Lee glanced at them deeply, then shook his head and landed on the ground below, turned around, and walked away toward the forest.
"Please wait," Instantly, a voice sounded behind him.
Lin Lee's footsteps halted; he turned around and glanced at the figure who just called him.
"Can you tell us, despite being stronger than us, even knowing there is a secret in the village, you also know about the treasure that concealed our village; why did you spare us?" The figure asked, looking at him deeply, and flew forward a little.
Lin Lee shook his head and replied, "It's nothing; it's just that even if I am not a good person, I am not some lowly scum."
The Villagers were surprised hearing Lin Lee reply, and then all of them landed on the ground. They moved forward, and then all of them patted their chests with their own fists and bowed, "Please forgive our rudeness, your excellency; if you don't mind, you can stay in our village."
"Oh, why are you apologizing, and why did you change your mind?" Lin Lee asked calmly, looking at them strangely.
"Your excellency, You showed us kindness by sparing our village; we want to repay that kindness; it's our village rule to repay every kindness; I am village Chief Niu Hu."
The main figure among them replied and introduced himself and then further explained about their village: "Everyone in our village has Niu surname, including the name of our village, which is named after Niu surname."
The village chief spoke and then introduced the four companions around him as Niu Yi, Niu Han, Niu Li, and Niu Hong also introduced the village customs.
"Please follow us." The village chief spoke and turned around and walked forward toward the village; others also nodded at Lin Lee's direction calmly and walked toward the village.
Lin Lee glanced at their backs strangely.
'Are these guys idiots? I threatened them and then spared them; where is kindness in my act?.'
He thought and then followed them, and then he asked suspiciously, "What kindness; I just didn't do what I wanted to do."
Instantly, the figures in front of him were surprised. The village chief turned and glanced at Lin Lee's expression.
After speaking, he glanced at Lin Lee, then said, "I just want your excellency to take this secret away; if you aren't interested, then please destroy it for us."
"Oh, if I am not interested in the secret, then what will I get in return after destroying it? I can't help you for free." Lin Lee asked thoughtfully, looking at the village chief,
Instantly, Village Chief fell silent and then pointed at the king tower in the sky, "We will offer you that tower in return for your help."
"Village Chief! You can't..." Instantly the villagers around were shocked, and they wanted to say something.
Village Chief raised his hand and stopped them; instantly everyone fell silent unwillingly.
Lin Lee glanced at them and then turned and looked at the king tower above the arena.
'Well, a king's treasure is a good compensation,'
Lin Lee thought and then nodded, looking at the village chief, and said, "Well, I will accept this reward; now lead the way toward the secret realm."
"Please come with me." The village chief spoke and appeared near the piller at the edge of the arena.
He put his hand on the piller; instantly blood essence flowed out of his hand, and red veins covered the whole piller.
Lin Lee raised his brow, seeing the Village Chief's hairs turning gray and his life essence reducing at an alarming rate.
'What's inside this formation? It's really sucking their life and potential,' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the piller completely turned red,
Bang!!!
Instantly the piller separated in the middle and an invisible door appeared, while the villager and the young people on the arena were looking at the village chief's gray, white hair and old appearance unwillingly.
"Please, your excellency, we aren't allowed to go inside; it will devour us upon stepping inside; only outsider bloodlines can go inside." The village chief spoke, retracted his trembling hand from the piller, and took deep breaths to stabilize his condition.
Lin Lee nodded and then walked inside the door; upon entering inside, he appeared in another separate realm.
The door behind him closed instantly, and the piller in front of the villager leader and other villagers also closed and restored as before.
"Village Chief, will he be able to do it? Even though we don't know what is inside this secret realm, there may be a huge danger; that's why our ancestors forbade us to go inside." The villagers asked, hesitatingly looking at their leader,
The village chief shook his head and replied, "We can only hope that he will free us from this curse."
Hearing the village chief's words, all the villager around fell silent.
