Zheng Qiu glanced at Zhang Wuchang and then shook his head with a smile: "No need to do that, you have your own life and a bright future, live for yourself!"

Zheng Qiu stood up and walked out of the yard, then looked at the path in the village. The path originally had some potholes, but now it was paved with blood.

He came to Li Sihu's door and knocked twice: "Sihu, follow me!"

Li Sihu immediately stuck his head out and looked at the path around him. His dissatisfaction with Zheng Qiu increased a bit: "If nothing else, I still need to practice!"

Zheng Qiu smiled and knew what Li Sihu was dissatisfied with: "Well, there is something. Follow me and I will show you something interesting later."

Li Sihu was suspicious but still followed Zheng Qiu's steps.

The entire road was littered with body parts, and the blood seemed to have dyed the ground red. Seeing this made Zheng Qiu feel cold. He didn't know if what he did was right. He chose to remain silent regarding his small effort. The fate of those who originally didn't need to die was all ended at this moment.

The expression on Li Sihu's face became uglier and uglier, until he finally couldn't help but hold onto a big tree and vomited.

Zheng Qiu patted Sihu's back slowly and said, "This scene is happening all over the world. You and I don't have to take it too seriously."

Li Sihu patted his chest, then shook off Zheng Qiu's hand, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "These people died because of you!"

Zheng Qiu looked at the blood-red surroundings and said, "No! These people died of greed and power. If you and I don't come back, more people will die. In this way, we have actually done a good thing, right?"

"Is that how you comfort yourself?"

Zheng Qiu stood up straight. "If I had killed them, I would have done it more cleanly than this! I have lived in this village for sixteen years, and these people have bullied me more or less. It is right for me to kill them!"

Zheng Qiu ignored Li Sihu's angry look and walked straight into Zhang Huairen's house: "Is the village chief home?"

Zhang Huairen heard Zheng Qiu's voice outside the door and quickly got up to open the door: "Zheng Qiu! Is everyone gone?"

"Well! Now I need some young and strong men to bury all the suffering villagers." Zheng Qiu stood there with no intention of going in, mainly because he was afraid of scaring Zhang Huairen's family.

"I'll go and call for you right away!" Zhang Huairen said hurriedly.

"Is the old village chief frightened?" Zheng Qiu grabbed Zhang Huairen's arm, "Not to help me! But for the suffering villagers."

Zhang Huairen looked at Zheng Qiu in confusion. It was already this time, and this guy was still fussing over these details: "Well, I understand!"

Zheng Qiu didn't let go of his hand, but just looked at Zhang Huairen quietly: "What do you know?"

Zhang Huairen was unhappy, but he was still afraid of Zheng Qiu's methods: "Talk less?"

Zheng Qiu looked at Zhang Huairen's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be pretending, so he had to say: "Old village chief, I believe you have the money to help everyone in the village get through the crisis! But you don't, why?"

Zhang Huairen was stunned for a moment, then he understood: "What do you mean?"

"People are dead! Let them be decent, but the farm work cannot be left unattended! They won't starve to death, right? I guess the surrounding villages must have been cleared out by this group of soldiers. If we don't hurry up now, there will be no food in winter."

Zheng Qiu just reminded him slightly, and Zhang Huairen suddenly thought of something: "How much do you want?"

Zheng Qiu looked puzzled: "What use do I have for this?"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Zheng Qiu sighed, "I just want my mother to live a stable life in the village. I don't want those things like climbing over the wall and throwing dirty water to happen again. A widow cannot be abused by others even if her husband dies."

"Okay! I promise you! From now on, your mother will be a member of my family. No one can bully her as long as my family is around!" Zhang Huairen understood Zheng Qiu's thoughts as soon as he thought about it.

Zheng Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Then please ask the tribe leader to gather all the villagers together and do something for the deceased!"

Seeing Zheng Qiu let go of his arm, Zhang Huairen hurried to the village entrance and rang the gong.

The survivors came over sparsely at this time, and they felt a little sad when they looked at the scenery on the road.

Zhang Huairen cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, be quiet! Our village has suffered a great disaster today, but we still have to live! I asked you all to come here today to discuss the future distribution of the land. I have reason to believe that this kind of plunder is not the first time, but what can we do?"

As Zhang Huairen spoke, he looked at Zheng Qiu, and everyone's eyes were also focused on Zheng Qiu.

Li Erhu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "It would be different if someone protected us. If I had the strength, I would definitely protect the village."

The surrounding villagers also followed suit.

"Yes, yes! It would be great if we had the strength of Sihu and Zheng Qiu."

"Yes! If someone is willing to risk his life for the village, I will let him drive me around and work like a slave for him."

"Aren't Zheng Qiu and Sihu both very strong? Can't they just stay in the village?" As soon as these words were spoken, a huge wave was stirred up.

Everyone looked at Zheng Qiu and Li Sihu with expectant eyes. Everything was almost the same as Zheng Qiu had thought. The only difference was that they did not expect it to be moral kidnapping instead of improving their own strength.

Zheng Qiu originally thought that the remaining people would use Sihu's family or Qiu Yue to threaten him, but when he thought about it, how could they dare?

Zheng Qiu smiled and said, "It's almost impossible. Our strength is at the bottom among the practitioners, so it doesn't make much sense to let us stay. Village chief, put away your little thoughts!"

Sihu, however, was uncharacteristically calm: "I barely have to move, so I can stay!"

Zheng Qiu's face changed slightly. The purpose of Sihu coming out was to find an opportunity to break through the golden elixir, so could he really stay? Li Sihu had an outstanding talent. Otherwise, he would not have become an elder disciple so easily. But now, did he really have to stay for this group of mortals?

"you sure?"

Li Sihu nodded firmly: "Yes, I think if you have the ability, you should protect the people around you."

Zheng Qiu was stunned when he heard this: "Then why am I practicing?"

When Zhang Huairen heard what Li Sihu said, he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop, and then he began to assign tasks. At this moment, Zheng Qiu was almost ignored by everyone. Anyway, no benefits could be sought for them, so such a person could just leave.

Zheng Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Sihu, I'm nice to you, right?"

Li Sihu was stunned when he heard this: "To be honest, you are very good to me."

"My mother is entrusting you with this. This is a jade pendant with my soul power on it. When you can't solve it, I will smash the jade pendant into pieces and that will be the day I return."

Li Sihu put away the jade pendant and then slowly said: "I have a limit, unlike you, who has lost his humanity through cultivation."

"I feel relieved with your assurance! Then I'm leaving. I originally wanted to let you see a good show, but now I don't have that intention. Since you want to stay, you can take this too!" Zheng Qiu said as he took out a jade pendant from his arms, "This is the magic weapon my senior brother gave me. Anyone below the Nascent Soul stage will die if they touch it. Even if a Nascent Soul expert comes, I can hold out for half an hour."
