In the central square of Luoxia Village, under the watchful eyes of thousands, the man who single-handedly killed their village chief vanished into thin air.
Just as everyone was searching everywhere, shouts came from the village entrance.
"He's not in the village; he's already outside the village."
All the villagers immediately ran to the village entrance, stood on the pile of wood and stones, and looked down.
The young man had already returned to the main force, leading tens of thousands of people, and left without any intention of attacking the village.
"So they really did just come to annex the village."
"Who spread the rumor that they came to massacre the village?"
"If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have resisted, and so many people wouldn't have been injured by the cattle."
The villagers of Luoxia Village crowded at the village entrance, watching the procession gradually disappear into the distance, and finally felt relieved.
Suddenly someone thought of something, "That Captain Zhang from the official team said that people whose spirit and energy were damaged would be compensated with ghost money, and those who were demoted could also fight alongside them to make up for their lost rank. Could these promises be true?"
The group looked at each other, only then realizing that they seemed to have missed something.
"Hey, don't go! What about the compensation you promised?"
A person stood at the highest point of the pile of wood and stones, shouting loudly down the mountain.
The sound echoed through the mountains, and the group of more than 10,000 people all turned to look.
Then came a few scattered laughs, and they continued on their way without stopping.
The people of Luoxia Village are now genuinely regretting their actions, but it's too late for regrets now.
Xia Tianqiong led the team to the next village—Wohu Village.
Qiu Ziren followed beside him, looking at him with curiosity. "Captain Xia, did you use some kind of magic to suddenly teleport out just now? But your identity hasn't changed!"
Xia Tianqiong had a good impression of him and said with a faint smile, "It is a strange object with the ability to teleport, not a trick."
When the "Searching for the Baby by the Ghost Mother" was solved, sixteen strands of hair were obtained from the Ghost Mother. These strands of hair, after being soaked in fresh blood, could be placed anywhere within a hundred miles. With a single thought, one could exchange places with the hair.
Before entering Luoxia Village, Xia Tianqiong threw a blood-stained hair under a pile of wood and stones. After killing the village chief, he immediately switched places and left the village.
The people of Luoxia Village were indignant, and there was no need to recruit people from them, especially since they already had enough people. So they led the team away without stopping.
During this annexation of the village, no one else contributed at all; it was all thanks to Xia Tianqiong alone. He kept all the Netherworld Power he obtained for himself and did not reward anyone else.
This finally allowed him to break through the Mighty level and reach the Overbearing level.
My physical fitness has improved significantly in all aspects. The most direct improvement is in my vision, smell and hearing, which have all improved a lot compared to before.
His eyes could see farther and more clearly, his nose could smell the subtle scents in the air, and he could hear clearly distinguish the content of every single sentence among the tens of thousands of people walking and talking around him.
Xia Tianqiong was overjoyed; this physical change made him even happier than the strangeness of the contract.
Let's talk about both sides.
Rewinding to the morning, Li Yun led her people back to Taoyuan Village.
She shouted loudly at the village entrance, attracting the attention of everyone in the village.
"Captain Xia ordered me to come back and gather another group of men to help attack other villages. The treatment will be the same as the previous ones."
The villagers of Taoyuan looked at each other, some puzzled, others clearly interested.
Li Yun continued her deception, "Those who went into battle before have all been promoted to the burly level. If you don't believe me, look at our levels. This is your last chance."
Everyone closed one eye and looked at Li Yun and the five people next to her.
Everyone was astonished.
Of the six, one was of the Mighty level, and the other five were all of the Huge level.
You should know that when they left the day before yesterday, there were only two or three burly-level people in the entire Peach Blossom Village, and Captain Xia was the only one of the mighty-level people.
It seems Captain Xia was right; following him really does allow you to level up quickly.
Many people were immediately tempted.
Li Yun then proceeded to persuade them further, and in the end, she successfully convinced more than a thousand people to follow her.
She was still at the "Huge" level last night, but on her way back, she made a special trip to Blackwater Village, killed dozens of villagers, and successfully advanced to the "Mighty" level.
There are two villages near Taoyuan Village. Heishui Village is to the south and is closer to the village. There is also Baishe Village, which is a little further to the north.
When Li Yun arrived at Baishe Village with more than a thousand people, Wang Baihong had already blocked the village entrance with more than 150 bandits.
The fields outside the village were littered with corpses, clearly indicating that a battle had taken place.
In addition, nearly two thousand people from Baishe Village gathered outside the village, confronting the mountain bandits.
While they were out hunting monsters in the morning, these bandits suddenly attacked and blocked the village entrance, which led to a conflict.
Unfortunately, although the White Snake Village had a large population, they were no match for the mountain bandits who could use trickery.
After Li Yun arrived, she led more than a thousand people from Taoyuan Village into the village. The bandits continued to block the entrance, preventing the people from Baishe Village from entering.
The village only had a little over a thousand elderly people, women, and children, who dared not resist at all.
Li Yun was indeed quite capable; with her formidable physique and a special magical artifact, she successfully killed the village chief.
What followed, however, greatly disappointed her.
She originally thought that as long as she killed the village chiefs of other villages, she could demote the entire village and thus obtain a large amount of Netherworld power.
However, she discovered that she had only inherited the position of village chief of White Snake Village. The people of White Snake Village were not demoted, and naturally, she was not given any Netherworld Power.
