Xigou’s attitude was exceptionally resolute, “If I say I won’t go, I won’t, not even if you kill me.”
Fang Zhixing sneered, “Okay, this is your choice, just don’t regret it later.”
Xigou’s heart skipped a beat, he was afraid of Fang Zhixing suddenly dropping such a harsh statement; it felt like being critically hit.
He hesitated, “What do you mean?
I’m being rational, why would I regret it?”
Fang Zhixing packed up and walked outside, saying indifferently, “Demons can transform into humans, into humans, you know!”
Xigou suddenly shivered, his eyes whirling around.
“Damn, tricking your grandpa again!”
Xigou grimaced; despite a million reluctances, he was easily manipulated by Fang Zhixing.
Soon, Fang Zhixing, Xigou, and Master Yun Xin converged.
They mounted swift horses and, under the vast night sky, left Shuijing Temple.
The village that suffered the dark calamity was called Great Liu Village, home to nearly four hundred households and thousands of people.
Thud thud thud!
Under the moonlight, atop the riverbank, through the cold wind, four swift horses galloped by.
About three hours later, after a relentless pursuit, they finally reached the outskirts of Great Liu Village.
If it hadn’t been for the challenging night road, with the speed of their mutant beast horses, they could have arrived in an hour and a half.
Fang Zhixing raised his head to observe Great Liu Village; a winding river divided the village in two, with the entire village built along this river.
The houses on both banks were either closely arranged in rows or scattered, appearing rather chaotic.
The river water flowed ebulliently, making the night even more serene.
Xigou suddenly transmitted his voice, “Is there not a single dog in this village?
Why is it so quiet?”
Fang Zhixing listened attentively and with his hearing, he also couldn’t detect any noise.
An utterly silent kind of atmosphere.
The night was solemn, and Master Yun Xin observed the village carefully for a while then whispered, “I hope we are not too late.
If the demon has already left the village, the matter will become much more complicated.”
Yun Zhen said, “Sister, don’t worry, we didn’t alert the demon.
It’s in its Hunger phase, needing constant feeding, and won’t easily leave its hunting ground.”
Sister?
Yun Xin is Yun Zhen’s sister?
Fang Zhixing’s mind stirred, and he couldn’t help but look deeply at Yun Zhen, wondering if she too had been a nun before.
Possibly, a secular disciple.
At that moment, Feng Guangyi suddenly spoke, “Here they come.”
A figure emerged from the darkness, hunched with age, white-bearded, his face deeply wrinkled.
The old man approached, and upon seeing Feng Guangyi and his wife, he said excitedly, “The heroes, you have returned!”
Feng Guangyi introduced, “This is the village chief of Great Liu Village, Elder Liu Gencai.”
The group understood and dismounted.
Immediately afterward, Feng Guangyi took out a small knife.
Seeing this, Liu Gencai voluntarily extended his right index finger.
There was a cut on his finger, the wound red.
But Feng Guangyi still made another cut, just to be sure.
Once confirmed that Liu Gencai was himself, Feng Guangyi then introduced Yun Xin and Fang Zhixing to the old village chief.
Liu Gencai nodded and said urgently, “Four heroes, please save our Great Liu Village, there have been eleven people missing continuously, including one of my grandsons.”
Feng Guangyi turned to Master Yun Xin and asked, “The usual method?”
Master Yun Xin nodded, “Yes, let’s use that usual method.”
Feng Guangyi nodded slowly and said earnestly to Liu Gencai, “Listen carefully, old chief.
At dawn, gather all the villagers and head to that mine outside the village.
Remember, gather everyone, not one less!
Once at the mine, have all the villagers go into the big pit, and then leave the rest to us.”
The old chief nodded, “Alright, I’ll do exactly as you say.”
Feng Guangyi continued, “Then the four of us will go to the mine to set up the trap, and together, inside and out, we’ll find that demon.”
“Understood!” Liu Gencai’s expression was exhilarated, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.
