The chief was tossing and turning in his bed, unable to fall asleep. In his mind, he could always see the horrified faces of those who had died, all seeking his life. Ever since the death incident in the ancient town, the chief had not been able to sleep at all. But now, the black clothed man wanted him to kill someone, how could he find someone to do that? There were only a few people left in the town now, those who had emigrated, those who had fled for their lives, the majority of them were old, weak, and sick.
However, he still had to listen to the orders of the black clothed man and work for him. Right now, everyone in the town was terrified, and they hid at home, not daring to come out. How could they catch him?
He sat down on the reclining chair under the tree, smoking an old pipe in his mouth. The smoke he exhaled surrounded his horn, making him look even more melancholy and vicissitudes. He leaned on the recliner, which swayed and creaked. But what he had done was not worthy of the sympathy of others.
The weak light illuminated the entire night sky, but no matter what, it could not illuminate the Patriarch's heart. He let out a light sigh, blew out smoke, and it could be seen that he was in a dilemma.
"Someone, come!" After an unknown amount of time had passed, the chief suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the night. His tone was very calm and carried a bit of viciousness.
Then, a person walked out from the side door. That person was around thirty years old. He walked over all of a sudden with an expressionless face.
"Patriarch, what orders do you have?"
The clan leader waved his hand, gesturing for that person to come closer. He whispered into that person's ear, "Tomorrow morning, you will bring some people to go …"
In less than a quarter of an hour, he came out again. This time, the clan head looked different than before, and he looked even more ancient, his hair was a bit messy, and his clothes were untidy. He gave off a very panicked feeling, as if he had just woken up from a dream. I wonder what purpose the chief has in dressing up like this.
The patriarch stopped walking and called a few families over to the ancestral hall. The patriarch sat in the center of the room. Most of the people who came to the ancestral hall were old men and people with big horns.
"I just had a dream, so I called everyone here. Tomorrow... Tomorrow all of us will have to leave this place! "
The chief said in a very frightened tone. Those people were confused as to what had happened.
"Patriarch, what happened?" Why should we leave? " one of them asked.
Last time, the Gods had warned us to expel them from an ancient town. If they did not leave, they would use the Red Lotus Industry to burn down the town we knew of, but they refused to listen to their orders and did not keep their promises. Da Niu also died a few days ago because of this, and the Gods had given me a dream just now, saying that they would massacre our ancient town tomorrow and let us go to the South Mountain to hide first.
The chief's words were soul-stirring, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"But …" But they were princes, sent by the emperor to investigate the case. How could they … An old man said doubtfully.
"Your Majesty? The Emperor still believes in gods! How dare he oppose the gods! " The chief interrupted that person's words and spoke directly. They completely monopolized those people's doubts.
"Then we'll go door to door and inform them to pack their luggage. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the South Mountain and take shelter there. We'll gather at the South Mountain and have a meeting to discuss countermeasures!"
"Alright!"
With that, the people from the ancestral hall dispersed. After they left, the chief revealed an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps, in the beginning, he had never thought of turning back. As the leader of the clan, if he did not protect his own clansmen well and even helped outsiders viciously kill his own clansmen, he was not fit to be a clan leader, much less have the face to see his deceased ancestors. It was obvious that the chief's mind was clouded. No matter what, all he could think about was how to complete the mission and explain it to the man in black.
The people in the town all heard about this and did not have any doubts. During this period of time, many tragedies had happened in the ancient town, so they were powerless and could only believe in the gods.
The next day, the sky had just begun to brighten, and the town had already exploded into action. It was likely that because of the clan leader's words, everyone had not slept for the entire night, waiting for the sun to rise and go to a meeting on the southern mountain. There were also many people who rushed to the South Mountain in the middle of the night. In order to survive, the people of the village went all out, and they were not afraid of wild beasts that roamed the southern mountains.
When the clan leader arrived at the south mountain and saw that all the villagers were there as per their agreement, when those people saw the clan leader, they all rushed forward and started talking at once. The clan leader was blocked off and could not move, his expression was a little ugly as he impatiently looked at the villagers and pushed those who were in his way to the front.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's listen to what the chief has to say." One of them stopped the noise.
The Patriarch leaned on his staff and cleared his throat. He said, "Calm down, everyone. Calm down. Now, let's wait here and see what happens."
"Patriarch, this town is going to burn down soon. Where do we have so many people living? Didn't you say you want to hold a meeting with us to discuss countermeasures?"
"Right, right, Patriarch, what should we do next!"
"That's right, chief. Tell me, where are we going to live now that this family is gone?" "Howl, howl ~ ~"
The tribe leader was right there, not saying a word. The villagers saw that something was wrong and wanted to go up and ask the tribe leader. However, the tribe leader raised his hand and did a single action. The villagers were scared stiff by the man in black and all of them fell to the ground. They thought that he was a bandit from the southern mountains. Seeing that the chief did not have any expression of panic, they still stood there calmly.
The villagers looked at the chief strangely, as if they instantly understood something. Could it be that all of the things that had happened in the ancient town in the past few days were related to the chief? They did not dare to believe it, but from the clan chief's expression, they could tell that it was the truth. It was precisely the clan chief that caused them to panic, yet he tricked them into coming to this place. One of them threw a punch at the chief, who stood there expressionlessly. Just as he was about to approach the chief's face, he was kicked to the ground by a man in black, and the leader of the men in black said, "Kill him! Kill him!"
At this time, the villagers had already seen through the chief's true purpose, but it was already too late. The men in black raised their swords and chopped at the villagers. None of the villagers knew martial arts, and all they could do was watch as they were killed.
Just then, the black clothed men were suddenly hit in the chest by an unknown object, the black clothed men all fell to the ground in pain, looking up, it was actually Feng Yu, Xuanyuan Zhan and the rest!
The clan leader looked at them in astonishment. His mind raced as he thought, "How could they be here?" Weren't they buried in a cave...
Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan aggressively walked over and when the two of them arrived in front of the patriarch, the patriarch was so frightened that he retreated a few steps. He pointed at them and asked: "You two … Didn't you all get buried alive in the cave? "How could it be …"
Feng Yu gave him a scornful look and said with a sneer, "Then I still have to thank you, clan leader, for your excellent cultivation of the secret passageway!"
"Patriarch, that secret passage allowed this king's people to be reborn. This king has to report it to father to reward the Patriarch greatly!"
Xuanyuan Zhan agreed from the side. His tone was very serious, and the words that came afterwards were very clear. Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, the clan chief's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. The clan chief was unable to escape this time.
"Impossible …" "That's impossible …" The chief had an expression of disbelief.
"Impossible?" We came here today to expose your motives and those black-clothed men's! Let the villagers see what you have done as the head of the clan! " Feng Yu said excitedly.
At that time, Feng Yu thought that she would really be buried in the cave like this and wouldn't be able to come out. Everyone was also trying to find a way to push the boulder away, but when they saw that the boulder was actually a Dragon-Breaking Rock, which weighed a thousand kilograms, and was impossible to push away, in an emergency, Feng Yu suddenly remembered that day and night when she had been exploring the Patriarch's secret passage! With the memories of that time, they could still remember, and brought everyone to the secret passage. The secret passage was a little damaged from the battle, but they could still go along with them. Feng Yu, Xuanyuan Zhan and the others followed the secret passage and walked out of the cave.
Feng Yu and the others stayed in the cave for a long time, but it was unknown how long they walked out. When they came out, they realized that it was already the second day, they secretly probed and discovered that the Patriarch was not at home, so they quickly left through the back door. Coincidentally, they saw a few white-clothed women standing in front of them.
However, before Feng Yu could open her mouth to speak, the women in white had already informed the Feng Yu clan leader of their plans. After they finished speaking, they bid their farewells and left. After Feng Yu received the news, she immediately discussed it with Xuanyuan Zhan. She felt that the villagers would decide to go to the Southern Mountains immediately to rescue them if they felt that they were in extreme danger.
Ling Weigongzhu originally wanted to come with them, but she was stopped by Liang Yu, who forced her to bring him back to the inn. Xuanyuan Zhan ordered Lei Yu and Lightning to escort each other back to the inn, and then head to the Southern Mountain to meet up with them.
Fortunately, Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan had the time to do so, otherwise, the scene would have been filled with blood and gore. Feng Yu never thought that the Patriarch would actually be this heartless. In truth, Feng Yu had been hoping for some luck in her heart with the chief. She thought that the chief would be a bit human and wouldn't dare to lay his hands on her tribesmen. It seemed that she had overthought things.
The villagers learned from the conversation between Feng Yu and the chief that the patriarch was indeed the murderer that had harmed their clansmen. Each and every one of them were very angry; they trusted the patriarch so much that they used him for such a long time, causing their families and friends to leave forever. Rather than calling it anger, it was more like resentment and anger! She had been deceived by the person she trusted the most, but her heart was still filled with ignorance towards herself!
"Kill him and take revenge for our people!"
"Kill him!" The patriarch stood up, looked at the villagers, and shot a glance at the black clothed man. It seemed like the patriarch was really done for, he knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he decided to make a bet with Xuanyuan Zhan.
Xuanyuan Zhan extended his arm and protected Feng Yu behind him, helping her block the attacks of the black-clothed men. However, the number of black-clothed men were far more than their numbers, unable to match their numbers, so when Feng Yu saw that Xuanyuan Zhan's protection was extremely arduous, she felt that there was no need to be protected, hence, he fought the black-clothed men with her bare hands.
