On the second day, the village chief of Chongtou Village finally got the news that someone from Tianyan Sect had come. After learning that Xu Shan had driven the people away, he took some men and went to Xu Shan's house before dawn.
Looking at the group of people who came with ill intentions, Xu Shan was rarely flustered. He spoke with a hint of flattery, "Why did the village chief bring me in so early in the morning?"
The village chief snorted coldly, looking at Xu Shan in front of him, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "How dare you even drive away the people I invited?"
As the village chief, he still has some prestige, not to mention that there are strong men from various families standing behind him.
Xu Shan knew it was from yesterday's incident. After thinking it over, he decided not to offend this person. He said with a smile, "Village Chief, this is all a misunderstanding. Those people came with such a strong momentum that I thought they had bad intentions, so I stopped them."
The village chief obviously didn't believe this. Looking at Xu Shan who looked listless, he spoke again:
"You know best what you are thinking."
"I don't want to get involved in your family affairs, but if you affect other people, don't blame me for being ruthless."
As he spoke, he glanced into the yard a few more times, his tone becoming more mocking. "I've lived for most of my life, and I've never heard of a living person being afraid to see the light."
Xu Shan's body stiffened, and he explained in a somewhat stiff tone: "Village Chief, you know that Qingniang is not in good health. Besides, she just doesn't like to go out. It's not like she has broken any law."
Listening to Xu Shan's defense of the man in the house, the village chief glared at Xu Shan unhappily. "I don't care how you live your life, but you must come with us to the town today to apologize and bring them back."
Xu Shan naturally knew who the "they" the village chief was talking about. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
He knew very well that the village chief in front of him had no intention of asking for his opinion. If he disagreed, he would probably be tied up and taken back.

In the town, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the Fuyuan Inn.
The head of Chongtou Village stood outside the inn, looking at Xu Shan beside him, and reminded him again: "You know what I'm going to say later, right?"
Xu Shan: "Don't worry, Village Chief, I won't say anything nonsense."
The second son of the Liu family, who came along, sneered and said sarcastically, "If you hadn't said that, we wouldn't have come all the way here to invite them."
Xu Shan froze upon hearing this and could only smile. "I've already said that, I didn't know they were really invited by the village chief. They were holding swords, and I thought they were from other villages looking to cause trouble for us again."
Liu Lao Er obviously wanted to say something, but the village chief glared at him, "If you want to argue, go back and argue. Don't embarrass yourself in front of outsiders. You have no shame, but I still have some."
When these words came out, Liu Lao Er was choked and could only mutter quietly, "That's right, and he shouldn't be allowed to say it. He should have come alone."
The process of inviting people was not as difficult as the village chief had imagined. Before Xu Shan even had a chance to apologize, the disciples could no longer sit still.
Seeing that these people were not angry, the village chief also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, some bad things had happened in the village recently, but in order not to cause panic, he did not go out for a walk.
Except for Xu Shan, everyone else who came here with him to ask for help today was a victim.
For example, in Liu Laoer's family, their father seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. At night, he would imitate the sound of a mouse and even hide under the bed and eat a mouse raw.
Then came the Wang family's mother-in-law. She suddenly seemed like a different person. While eating, she chewed her tongue and swallowed it. Then she wanted to put her one-year-old grandson into the pot to cook.
If he had not been discovered in time, his grandson would have died long ago.
It was just a coincidence once or twice, but within two days, the daughter of the Li family also suffered a disaster. In broad daylight, a long worm swallowed her directly into its stomach, and before the Li family could react, it disappeared without a trace.
The village chief's first thought was that he had offended some foul creature, but when he went to the toilet that night, he saw a rat that spoke human language. "That person is really boring. He went crazy just because he ate a rat."
There was a group of other little mice around it, squeaking and calling, as if they agreed with the words of the rat spirit.
"I think the old tree is the smartest. It just stands guard at the village entrance every day and has endless energy."
After hearing these words, the village chief no longer had the heart to go to the toilet. He quickly hid back in the house. Then he thought of Tian Yanzong and quickly wrote a letter and sent it out.
He originally wanted to come and pick up these people in person, but he didn't expect that the people from Tianyan Sect would come so quickly.
"I apologize to all the immortal masters. Please don't bother with me and help Chongtou Village get rid of the monster." Xu Shan stood up and said sincerely.
But he thought in his heart that as long as he didn't say anything, no one else would know what happened in the cave.
The new disciples looked at this scene, unaware of Xu Shan's little thoughts, and wanted to wave their hands, but their senior brothers had not expressed their opinions yet, so they naturally could not make a decision on their own and could only wait.
Chen Jinggu glanced at Xu Shan, saw his thoughts, and said, "Let's go."
Xu Shan pretended to be relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, then said excitedly, "Thank you very much."
Half an hour later, the group appeared at the village entrance again, but this time no one stopped them.
Shen Jinggu first took out the prepared talisman from his storage ring and handed it to the village chief beside him, "Don't go out tonight. Give these talismans to the villagers and ask them to carry them with them."
"Thank you, Immortal Master." The village chief quickly took the talisman from Shen Jinggu's hand, first handed a few to the people around him, and then rushed to each house to distribute the talismans.
At first, the villagers who saw the talisman didn’t quite understand what was going on. It was not until the village chief told them that this was a talisman he had specially requested for wealth that they quickly wiped their hands and placed the talisman on their chests.
"By the way, you guys mustn't go out tonight, or your fortune will run away."
After giving out each talisman, the village chief would give some advice.
He didn't want to cause panic among the villagers, so he could only coax them in the most acceptable way to prevent them from running out at night and seeing things they shouldn't see.
