Lin Xiaoran screamed and was immediately pulled up from the ground by Zhang Fan. Then he led Li Hongyu and others through the mountain people on the ground and ran towards a low-lying area in the back mountain.

On the way, Li Hongyu asked worriedly: "Master, what should we do with those mountain people? Will anything happen to them?"

Zhang Fan shook his head: "I just used the immortal spirit to plant some lightning in these people's bodies. They will remain in this state for a period of time, and this period of time is enough for them to recognize their mistakes and repent.

As for whether they can stand up after that, I am not sure, but they will definitely not die."

Hearing this, Li Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the whole process was broadcast live. If anything happened to any of these mountain people, Zhang Fan would inevitably be involved in a murder lawsuit.

If this is the case, then instead of advocating resistance to feudal superstition, it is just digging a hole for oneself and trapping oneself in it!

We didn't dwell on this issue for too long. We were all young and the process was very fast.

In addition, Hua Yueying cast a spell silently for everyone, so the stumbling on the mountain road at night was not enough to stop everyone from traveling.

In such a hurry, Lin Xiaoran didn't notice that the journey seemed to become very simple.

So in less than ten minutes, they had already climbed over the hill and arrived at the low-lying area!

Before we really got close to the cave, we could already see the trunk of a tall Chinese toon tree. It had two main trunks, one on the left and one on the right, inserted into the ground, and then crossed and twisted together about three meters in the air.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed somewhat magical, and the tree is very old, probably many years old.

Right next to these two big trees, there were hundreds of people gathered here, tightly surrounding the place.

The light of the torch illuminates the night, and the hustle and bustle of life makes wild beasts dare not approach.

When Zhang Fan and others approached, they saw a hole covered with weeds behind the big tree.

The entrance of the cave is very large, like the open mouth of a ferocious beast.

In front of the cave entrance, a pair of middle-aged women were tied up and kneeling at the entrance, as if they would be pushed in at the next second.

Seeing this situation, the audience in the live broadcast room was shocked.

No one expected that this so-called sacrificial ceremony would be so outrageous, openly coercing others, and even using Lin Xiaoran's parents to threaten Lin Xiaoran to jump into the cave himself.

Such a cruel thing happened right before our eyes. If it weren't for the screen between them, I'm afraid these netizens would jump out to seek justice.

When Zhang Fan and others got closer, an old woman who looked to be in her 50s or 60s among the local crowd surrounding the locust tree, holding a cane in her hand, shouted loudly.

"Lin Xiaoran, you are finally here."

The people surrounding the tree turned their heads and looked back, and when they saw Lin Xiaoran appear, they immediately made way for her.

Lin Xiaoran ran over, and Zhang Fan and others naturally followed closely behind.

He glanced at the mountain people around who were watching the sacrifice. Most of them were elderly people, and there were not many young people.

This made him feel relieved. If a lot of young people gathered here, he really wouldn't know what to do.

After all, if things turned out like that, even if the attention today exceeded millions or tens of millions, it might not be able to change the mentality of these young people.

Compared to Zhang Fan's worried expression, the family elders who were waiting for Lin Xiaoran to sacrifice themselves all had gentle smiles on their faces.

"Lin Xiaoran, I knew you wouldn't sneak away. Go into the cave obediently. Your parents will surely be blessed by the mountain god because of your sacrifice."

Lin Xiaoran stared angrily at the old woman who was speaking, then turned around and helped his parents at the entrance of the cave up from the ground!

"Dad, Mom, are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?"

The middle-aged couple had obviously suffered a lot and were in tears at the moment.

"My daughter, we are the ones who harmed you. You shouldn't have cared about us. Your sister died in this cave because your father was too weak. I can't watch you follow in his footsteps."

Lin Xiaoran's mother burst into tears!

Lin Xiaoran's father's eyes were gloomy and he almost wanted to die.

But unfortunately, because of the so-called feudal superstition, a cage was formed in his mind.

He had no idea whether sacrificing his daughter was an honor or a disregard for human life.

This scene made Zhang Fan frown, and he felt more pity for Lin Xiaolu, who had died unjustly here twenty years ago and had now turned into a ghost.

After all, Lin Xiaolu was only about 20 years old at that time, and was still a young girl. Because of Lin Xiaolu's father's ignorance, the young girl was killed by these people. No wonder Lin Xiaolu's only concern was her sister, not her parents.

At this time, the old woman with a cane came up slowly.

"Lin Xiaoran, since you are back, it means you are still a filial girl. Don't waste any more time. Put on this red robe and go into the cave quickly. We will not treat your parents unfairly when the time comes."

As he said this, the men behind him were holding a tray with a red robe made of silver thread on it. It looked quite exquisite!

But if you wear it on your body, you will have to pay for it with your life.

At the same time, the people around were getting closer and closer. The light of the torches illuminated Lin Xiaoran's pale face. It seemed that someone wanted to take advantage of her unpreparedness and push her directly into the cave.

At the critical moment, Zhang Fan snorted coldly.

"Stop it, do you know what you are doing? You are killing people."

Zhang Fan suddenly roared, like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, instantly calming the whole scene.

The old woman with the cane turned her dry face towards Zhang Fan and stared at him with frowns.

"You, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Zhang Fan curled his lips and said, "Don't worry about who I am. I just want to ask you one thing. Twenty years ago, the girl chosen by the previous Mother and Child Tree God was also from your village?"

Zhang Fan said calmly!

The look in his eyes is very cold!

He is not an unreasonable person, and he always relies on evidence when doing things. He will never get involved in anything that is unreasonable or irrational.

So now he is not dominated by anger, but is looking for a reason.

If these people were also accomplices in the death of Lin Xiaolu and also wanted to kill Lin Xiaoran, then all of them deserve to die.

At that time, Zhang Fan didn't need to show mercy, nor did he need to worry about whether he killed the wrong person.

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, everyone present showed a surprised expression.
