Chapter 38 Village Crisis
Qijia Village...
"Stand still! Who are you?!"
The guards at the village entrance noticed a group of unidentified people approaching not far ahead.
"Tsk tsk~! Who would have thought that the once glorious Qi family has fallen so low?"
The man at the head of the group held a folding fan and spoke in an arrogant and sarcastic tone.
"Say it again! Who exactly are you people?!"
What are you doing here?!
Two guards, each holding a bow and arrow, stared at the other side warily.
"Noisy!"
"Bring out your chieftain!"
The man holding the folding fan casually waved his hand, and an invisible force swept forward, striking the guard who had shouted.
"Pfft~!"
The guard, like a kite with a broken string, coughed up blood and flew backward.
“Huh~~~!”
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Upon seeing this, another guard quickly grabbed the horn at his waist, blew it, and shouted loudly.
"Oh no! Something's happened outside the village!" Qi Haoyue, who was supervising everyone's training in the village square, shouted towards the square immediately after hearing the bugle call: "Quick! Stop! Come with me!"
After speaking, Qi Haoyue took the lead, grabbed his weapon and rushed out, followed by the others in the square, all with solemn expressions.
Who on earth is so bold as to attack the village?
The same was true in other parts of the village; even the young people who weren't training rushed out of the village.
"What have you done!!!"
"Dare to attack the village! Die!"
Qi Haoyue rushed to the edge of the village and saw the scene before him, which enraged him instantly. Without thinking, he raised his hand and fired an arrow.
Unfortunately, before the arrow could reach him, the man easily blocked it with a flick of his folding fan.
Although Qi Haoyue didn't put his full strength into this arrow, it still contained about 80% of his power.
Such an arrow was easily blocked, which shows how strong this man is.
When Qi Haoyue saw that his attack had failed, his expression immediately became serious. Despite his seemingly simple appearance, he was not stupid at all and knew that his strength was inferior to that of the man in front of him.
He didn't act impulsively, but instead went to the fallen guard and helped him up.
"How are you?" Qi Haoyue asked, supporting the injured guard.
"Cough...cough!"
The wounded guard was so badly injured that he couldn't speak and was still coughing up blood.
Qi Haoyue clenched her fists, turned around and stared at the group of people, her eyes filled with anger. She hadn't expected them to be so ruthless.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the village except those who were not cultivators came to the village entrance, and their eyes were filled with anger when they saw this scene.
The man holding the folding fan laughed when he saw so many people.
So arrogant!
The man closed his folding fan, nodded, and laughed loudly, "Haha, very good! Very good! It seems everyone has arrived."
"May I ask, who among you is the clan leader?"
No one spoke; they simply held their weapons, ready for battle at any moment.
Seeing that no one spoke, the man's smile vanished, and he said with a gloomy expression, "It seems you're not planning to talk, are you?"
"Not bad!"
"Since you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
"Then don't blame us for being impolite!"
With that, the man waved his folding fan, and the others who had come with him prepared to make their move.
"Wait a minute!"
As the sound rang out, the crowd parted to make way for an elderly man who slowly emerged, his cloudy eyes staring at the man.
The man felt extremely uncomfortable under that gaze.
The old man calmly said, "I am the clan leader. May I ask who you are and why you have come here?"
"One thing that intrigues me is..."
"Exactly! How did you find out about this place?!"
After he finished speaking, a light seemed to shoot out in the village chief's eyes, and they were no longer cloudy.
Upon hearing this, the man laughed again: "Very good, the clan leader has finally come out, then I will not waste any more words."
"My name is Wang Heng, and I come from the Wang family. I presume you, clan leader, already know our purpose?"
"As for how we found out about this place, someone must have led the way."
As Wang Heng finished speaking, a man slowly walked out from behind him.
Qi Haoyue was so angry when she saw the man who came out from behind Wang Heng that she started cursing!
"Qi Wuyue! What the hell did you do?!"
The other villagers were the same, all staring at the man with anger in their eyes.
"Brother Wuyue, did you bring these bad guys here?"
"Why???"
"Brother Wuyue, why did you do this? Waaaaah!"
"Qi Wuyue!!! You traitor!"
The villagers began to criticize and curse, and many girls who had liked or secretly loved Qi Wuyue were heartbroken at this moment.
Qi Wuyue listened to the insults from the crowd but paid no attention to them, her eyes fixed on the village chief.
The village chief muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. You haven't given up after all!"
Wang Heng said in a gloomy tone, "Give up? How laughable! Let's not even talk about how glorious the Qi family was back then."
"Given your current state, there's even less chance you'll give up."
"Old man! Hand over that secret technique right now!"
Qi Haoyue and the villagers, except for a few elders, had no idea what the secret method Wang Heng was talking about, and looked at the village chief with puzzled expressions.
The village chief ignored the villagers, shook his head, and said to Wang Heng, "What you wanted is no longer available. Please leave on your own."
Wang Heng clearly didn't believe it and said viciously, "Very well! Since that's the case, kill them!"
"Kill them until you're willing to hand them over."
As soon as Wang Heng finished speaking, the group behind him all took out their weapons and charged at the crowd.
Seeing the enemy make their move, the village chief's eyes turned serious, and he shouted loudly, "Fight back!"
Everyone instantly switched into battle mode, but some people were still puzzled as to why.
At this moment, an elder said to the villagers, "You must be very confused. If we can survive this crisis, the village chief will explain it to you."
"What I can tell you now is that all of them are enemies of the Qi family."
"It has been like this for hundreds of years."
"They are also one of the culprits who led us to live in seclusion in the Cangwu Mountains."
Once everyone understood, they put aside their curiosity and threw themselves into the battle.
Qi Haoyue rushed to Qi Wuyue at top speed, his face full of anger as he questioned, "Qi Wuyue, why did you betray the village!"
"Do you know that after you left the village, many people have been wondering where you went?"
"Many people have asked me to inquire about your whereabouts."
"Everyone is looking forward to your return!"
Qi Wuyue ignored him and kicked Qi Haoyue away.
Qi Haoyue looked on in disbelief!
Qi Wuyue actually did this to harm her own kind.
Qi Haoyue did a somersault and landed on the ground, his chest slightly red from Qi Wuyue's kick.
Qi Wuyue simply said calmly, "You don't understand anything, get out of the way."
Qi Haoyue rubbed his chest and said in a low voice, "I didn't understand before, but I do now."
"You are our enemy right now."
"That's perfect, then I don't need to hold back anymore."
After saying that, Qi Haoyue threw away the bow and arrows, took out a dagger, and attacked Qi Wuyue.
Many people, including Lin Que, do not know that Qi Haoyue's greatest skill is not archery, but daggers.
Qi Wuyue fought back unarmed, and the two immediately clashed in battle.
The two exchanged blows, fighting back and forth with equal intensity.
However, since Qi Haoyue's cultivation level was not as high as Qi Wuyue's, he was at a slight disadvantage at the moment. If it weren't for the dagger, he would probably be defeated in a minute.
Just as Qi Haoyue was caught off guard, Qi Wuyue seized the opportunity and kicked Qi Haoyue away again.
Qi Haoyue landed and coughed up blood.
After he fell to the ground, he looked up at his surroundings and couldn't help but feel a surge of redness in his eyes.
"what!!!"
"Pfft!"
"I'll fight you!"
"Elder! What's wrong, Elder!"
"Quickly! Get up and continue fighting!"
Most of the villagers were no match for that group, and many fell to the ground.
Even the elders were injured at this moment.
Holding a folding fan, Wang Heng charged at the village chief. With a flick of his wrist, the fan flew out and struck the village chief.
The village chief was forced to retreat repeatedly, spitting out blood.
"Grandpa the village chief!"
Qi Lianyue rushed over from the village and, seeing this scene, was heartbroken and wanted to cry. She raised her hand and shot an arrow at Wang Heng.
"what?!"
"What a cute little girl, haha! Too bad, she's useless."
"Death!"
Wang Heng threw aside Qi Lianyue's bow and arrow, turned around, abandoned the village chief, and charged towards Qi Lianyue.
Qi Lianyue was not skilled in close combat and could only watch helplessly as Wang Heng charged towards her.
"Brother, where are you? Lian Yue misses you so much!"
Qi Lianyue seemed resigned to her fate, closing her eyes and leaving two lines of clear tears.
"Lian Yue!!!"
"Lianyue, you little brat!!!"
Everyone watched this scene with helpless cries!
"Azure Lotus Breaks Through the Sky!"
Just as Wang Heng was about to reach Qi Lian Yue, a furious shout shattered his attack!
Before the person arrived, the sound of the sword preceded the attack. Wang Heng had no time to react and was forced to the other side.
A figure landed quickly and rushed to Qi Lianyue's side to protect her.
"Who dares to bully my sister?!"
