C100 (1/2)
After a few rounds, Hou Yi finally returned to the Unsetting Sun Village. The former prosperity was no longer there, and what welcomed him was desolation and coldness.
What was going on? What happened in my hometown? ”Where did everyone go?” Hou Yi was shocked.
The familiar scene was still imprinted in his mind. Back then, it was here that he was accepted as a disciple of the World Cultivator, Titan. He walked forward another five hundred meters. This was the place where he and Chang'e had become husband and wife …
After circling the village three or four times, he was surprised to find no one. It was truly strange; just what kind of terrifying events had happened here that left the entire village empty.
”Who is it? Who is it? ”Which bastard was it! Who was it that robbed this place?!” Wu Tengfei roared towards the sky. His rough voice reverberated throughout the village, desolate and desolate.
Here were his childhood memories, the traces of his family. There used to be so many family members, playmates from his childhood, partners in life, and many memories … However, now that there was nothing left, Wu Tengfei felt his heart slowly being devoured by pain.
Clutching his chest, holding back the pain, he staggered forward step by step until he found his former home. Those joyous and painful memories were still haunting him.
His house was still there, but he had gone to empty it. As the sky was about to turn dark, he planned to rest at his own home for the night and prepare for the next day. He planned to go to a place further away to search for survivors.
”Who?” Hou Yi became cautious. The sky was dark and the village was empty. Could it be that the devil had come to find him?
”It's me. Hurry and open the door.” An old voice said.
Hou Yi opened the door and saw an old man, a Vice Principal who was dressed in black. Once he entered the room, he very quickly closed the door.
”Uncle Li, is that you?” Hou Yi asked in surprise.
”Oh, Tengfei, since you left, something big has happened in our village. In the first week, we lost one or two people, but they were nowhere to be found, and then people went missing every day, no matter how hard we searched. Afterwards, we lost a few people, and more than a dozen of them were lost, making people panic.
”How can this be? Somehow went missing? ” Wu Tengfei said in shock.
Last month on the third day of the third month, Principal Xiang of our village went to request the living god for a divination. After he helped our village make a divination, he shook his head, saying that some missing person had been kidnapped by the Eight Great Ghost King, and I'm afraid that the odds are against us having met a successful end already. Those who are still alive, must quickly flee, leave the village and head south. Thus, when Principal Xiang returned, he led our clansmen and began escaping frantically for their lives from that day onwards, continuously heading south day and night. Within a single day, all of our clansmen had left. ”
”Dammit, dammit.” Hou Yi slammed the table angrily.
”Uncle Li, why haven't you left yet?” Hou Yi asked with concern.
”Sigh, I don't have much time left, and I don't want to leave my home either. Most of the people who went missing were young and strong, and I don't think that the eight Ghost King s would take a fancy to an old bone like me. Sigh, on one hand, I think that if I am lucky enough to survive, maybe after the leader returns, there will be someone to guide you.
Wu Tengfei nodded.
I thought that perhaps it was due to bad luck that I saw you wandering around the village. At that time, I wanted to call out to you, but I didn't dare, because I was afraid of being deceived. Until that painful cry from you convinced me that you really were our leader, and I was kneeling on the ground in excitement, weeping like the rain. I thank the heavens for their kindness. The Unsetting Sun Village will have hope again, and when I look for you again, you will already be nowhere to be found.
It was only until now that I came to your house and found you! ” Uncle Li said.
They forcibly took over the Ghost Valley Ridge, and chased away the Ghost Valley King. A while ago, they almost took my life, and with the help of the Ghost Valley King and Miss Wen Bufan, I was able to return safely. I have to take revenge for my people, and this time, I have to make sure that they will all die, so as to avoid harming my human race again. ”Su Yun said in a serious tone. After Hou Yi said this, he stood up. His hands formed fists.
”Child, calm down, calm down, do you know that it is difficult to be alone? Uncle Li, I suggest that you head south to find our people, that it is not too late to take revenge, and train a group of warriors, they all have a blood feud with the Ghost King, after all, they all have strength and numbers, and I believe that if we fight against the Eight Great Ghost King, we will definitely win alone, right?” Uncle Li advised.
”Uncle Li, you are absolutely right. Just you wait. I will head south tomorrow morning to search for my clansmen.” Do you know how many people have disappeared from our village? ” Hou Yi asked.
”Rough statistics put the number of people at around six thousand. Almost twenty percent of the young adults in the entire village have been killed. There is Blacksmith Wang's son Wang Tiezhu, the instructor's son Zhao Xiaohu, my only son Li Mengjiang, your fourth aunt's daughter Douhua, eighth uncle's grandson is only sixteen years old … ” Uncle Li was once again immersed in grief. Moreover, there was also his only son. How could this not make his heart ache?
Hou Yi was very pained, but no matter how much pain he felt, he could only grit his teeth and endure.
In order to improve Uncle Li's mood, Hou Yi changed the topic: ”Oh right, Uncle Li, do you know about Cang Du competition?”
