Chapter 683: Capture the King First

Get a night's rest.

The next day.

Zhao Jingxuan opened his eyes, blinking, looking at the cave ceiling, then at Tangli resting against the wall, the little girl leaning against her, and Ah Hua and Ah Mu...

Great, it’s not a dream.

It’s great that he is still alive, and Ahua and Amu are fine too.

Zhao Jingxuan gave a silly smile.

When Tang Li saw that he had woken up, he called two guards to support him and then set off.

The group returned along the same route.

On the way, they met many villagers searching the mountain.

If you can avoid it, avoid it. If you can't avoid it, you have to confront it head-on.

Although the villagers are very strong, it is no problem for a peerless master like Du Ye to defeat three or five of them.

Along the way, they also met villagers who were familiar with Ahua and Amu. When they saw them, they did not take action immediately, but tried to persuade them.

"Amu, Ahua, don't be fooled by outsiders. They are cunning and greedy and will only harm you! Return to the village immediately and sincerely repent. The gods will forgive you. If you persist in your wrongdoings, you will surely anger the gods."

"Uncle Afu, we didn't want to leave the village on our own, but were forced to do so. Kun forced me to marry him, and I would rather die than marry him!" said Ahua.

"Uncle Afu, you watched us grow up. Can you bear to let Ahua die?" Amu also said.

Ahua and Amu's parents died early. Uncle Afu was a good friend of their father and often took care of them, just like their own father.

Ah Fu looked at Ah Hua, feeling sorry for her, but he could do nothing about it: "But...but that was an oracle. The village witch said that the oracle told Ah Hua to marry Kun. Ah Hua, you will definitely be happy."

Ah Hua chuckled, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"God? The so-called oracle is just a way for the village witch to gain benefits! He wanted Uncle Tu's house, so he said Uncle Tu had offended the gods and drove Uncle Tu's family out of the village! Uncle Tu's family could only live in the mountains and forests, and the villagers avoided them. The mountains and forests were full of wild beasts, and Uncle Tu's two children and grandchildren were killed by wild beasts!

"The village witch wanted the tiger that Ah Meng had hunted, saying she wanted to use it for a sacrifice. But soon after, the tiger skin was worn by the witch's wife! Ah Meng had originally wanted to trade the tiger for medicine because his son was sick. That winter, prey was scarce, and he had hunted it with great difficulty. The tiger was gone, the medicine was gone, and Ah Meng's son was gone too."

…

…

Ah Hua told all the bad things that the village witch had done over the years, one by one.

What’s even more terrifying is that the village witch did all these things, but the villagers didn’t think there was anything wrong with him at all.

"What oracle? It's just that Kun wanted to take me by force, so the village witch used the oracle as an excuse. Uncle Afu, it's not my brother and I who are blaspheming God, but the village witch. The village witch will definitely be punished by God!" Ah Hua said almost gritting her teeth.

Ah Fu stood there in a daze.

The witch communicates with gods. This is a tradition of the ancient tribe for thousands of years and an idea rooted in his mind.

At this time, someone suddenly came to tell him that the village witch was a liar and was just making profits for herself. Naturally, he could not accept it.

"Uncle Afu, are you still going to stop us?" Ah Hua said, her eyes red and filled with tears.

Ah Fu still felt that Ah Hua's idea was wrong, and that the village witch would not harm anyone. However, Ah Hua said that if she married Kun, she would die...

Ah Fu didn't light the signal cigarette in his hand after all, but turned his head away: "You guys go."

His behavior was disrespectful to the gods. He should go back and apologize to the village witch.

Ah Hua and Ah Mu knelt down before Ah Fu and said, "Uncle Ah Fu, we are leaving now. We will remember your kindness in the past and will repay you in our next life."

We will never meet again in this life.

Ah Fu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go."

Ahua and Amu stood up and the group left quickly.

Tang Li looked at Ah Hua with red eyes, reached out and patted her shoulder.

Ah Hua forced a smile.

"When will the gods bring down divine punishment on the village witch? Let the villagers see his true face..."

"That day will come." Tang Li said.

"The Great Shaman in Yuecheng must be able to communicate with the gods. Kun has been harassing me. My brother and I were planning to go to Yuecheng in the spring of next year to find the Great Shaman," Ah Hua said. She turned to look at Tangli and suddenly laughed, "That's not necessary now. Let's go to the outside world!"

She was a little afraid of the outside world, but after meeting Axuan and seeing Tangli, so many good people, she was no longer afraid!

Tangli felt that in such a remote mountain village, the village witch had absolute authority, and it was really rare for Ahua and Amu to have such a rebellious spirit.

Zhao Jingxuan was very lucky to meet this brother and sister.

If he had been discovered by other villagers, he might have been burned to death.

The group continued to move forward, and when they came to a necessary road, they saw that the road was blocked.

"It's the village witch!" Ah Hua's face changed suddenly.

The village witch brought nearly a hundred villagers holding hoes and axes and blocked the road, blocking their way!

Ahua and Amu both looked unhappy.

It seems they can't get out.

Ah Hua couldn't help but look at Tang Li, but she saw that she looked calm and not at all panicked.

Ah Hua suddenly felt that they might be able to get out.

This sister looks very powerful and can give people a sense of security.

Tang Li looked at the huge crowd in front of him. They were all strong men. If they fought head-on, with the help of ten secret guards, they could definitely defeat them. But a head-on fight would only result in losses for both sides.

Then there is another way...

Tangli's eyes narrowed slightly.

Sanbao leaned close to Tangli's ear and said, "Catch the leader first."

Tang Li smiled and touched the little girl's head. She was so smart and thought the same thing as her.

"Du Ye, help us." Tang Li said.

Du Ye had a blank expression on his face, but the next moment, he suddenly attacked.

The villagers were startled and picked up their axes and hoes and surrounded Du Ye.

The village witch stood behind the villagers with a tense expression. This time, he must capture all the outsiders, including Ahua and Amu who challenged his prestige, and not let any of them go!

However, the next moment, something cold suddenly pressed against his neck.

The woman he had just ignored appeared behind him silently without anyone noticing, and held a dagger against him!

"You, what are you going to do? I am the village witch! God will punish you!" The village witch shouted, trying to struggle.

"Village witch, what do you think? If I cut your throat with a dagger, how will the gods punish me? Will they strike me to death with thunder?" Tang Li asked with great interest, without the slightest fear. His voice suddenly turned cold, "Don't move, or your throat will be cut, and you'll really have to wait for your gods to save you."

The village witch suddenly didn't dare to move.

"Release the village witch!"

When the villagers saw the village witch being arrested, their eyes turned red.

How dare this outsider disrespect their village witch!

They were filled with anger and wanted to rush up to save the village witch.

"If you take another step forward, I will kill him." Tang Li said, and his hands suddenly exerted force.

The village witch felt a pain in his neck and it seemed that blood was oozing out.

"Don't come near! Don't come over here! I order you in the name of God!" The village witch immediately shouted loudly.

The angry villagers stopped where they were.
