The old village chief sensed her emotions, and immediately gave a look to the villagers.
After receiving the village chief's message, the villagers hesitated for a moment, but ultimately headed towards the tourists...
With a "bang," several tourists were knocked unconscious by the villagers.
"ah!"
Nearby tourists noticed their companion had been knocked unconscious by villagers and immediately called out.
"They want to kill us!"
"Master Baixi, save me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone saw the group of expressionless villagers approach them.
Ye Guoliang quickly said, "You all hide behind me."
After he finished speaking, everyone disregarded everything else and rushed to Ye Guoliang's side.
The burly man immediately said, "These people are indeed in cahoots with those evil creatures."
With Amu's encouragement, the witch arrived at the wishing tree.
She apologized, "I'm sorry, but I still can't let you go down."
At this moment, the other villagers in the house ran out. Faced with the serious scene before them, these villagers actually had smiles on their faces.
The burly man asked, "What are they doing here?"
Bai Xi said, "These villagers are the ones who are truly being controlled, while those indifferent villagers have become numb and expressionless because they are threatened by the evil spirits and cannot resist."
The tourists were taken aback.
"So they're the puppets?"
Bai Xi: "Yes, they have been controlled by the evil entity behind them."
Ye Guoliang looked at the witch, "Are you stopping us because of the evil entity threatening you from behind?"
The witch lowered her eyes. "You can't handle him. They are too powerful."
Ye Guoliang: "How do you know we can't handle them before we've even fought?"
In the past, the Taoist Association might not have been so confident.
However, he had personally witnessed Miss Bai Xi's strength.
He didn't believe in himself, but he believed in Miss Baixi.
The witch lowered her eyes. "I can't gamble with the lives of my entire village."
Ye Guoliang snorted, "So you're going to abandon us for the sake of the whole village, and just watch us get captured by those evil creatures, killed, and drained of their energy?"
The witch said, "The villagers are my family. They are very important to me. If I had to choose one, I would definitely choose my villagers. I can only apologize to you people."
Ye Guoliang said, “But what happens after we die? You will still be threatened by the evil things you talk about. Countless people will be tricked into coming here and killed by those evil things.”
"Soon this place will become a ghost village, stained with blood, and devastated. Is this what you see?"
"Are you going to trade the lives of your entire village for the lives of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of us? How many people are there in your village in total?"
The witch remained silent.
Amu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but say, "So you want us to sacrifice my family for your safety? We don't have that kind of compassion!"
"They are too powerful; you ordinary mortal Taoists cannot deal with them."
Ye Guoliang remained silent upon hearing this.
From their respective perspectives, neither of them is wrong.
The tourists overheard their conversation.
My heart started to race again.
Are we destined to die here?
"It's all my fault for being greedy. I didn't want to live a good life, I had to want more."
"Me too. Now that I think about it, enough money is enough. What's the point of having so much wealth if you're dead?"
“I’ve always been busy with work, my focus has been on my career, and even my wishes are related to fame and fortune. Now that I think about it, I’m already dead, what use are those things?”
"I was too greedy, wanting more, and rarely had time to spend with my family. If I were to pass away first, my mother would not be able to bear the pain of my death."
I don't know if it was influenced by Zhangshu Village, but everyone was immediately plagued by negative emotions because of these words.
At this moment, Bai Xi walked up to the witch, looked at her legs, and said, "Your legs were crippled by them, weren't they?"
The witch paused, a hint of pain appearing in her eyes. "Yes."
Bai Xi: "Judging from your personality, you must have been a very arrogant person with great abilities. Later, those evil things targeted you, and you saw the most powerful force in the world, a force you can't even imagine. It's a level you can't reach even if you cultivate for thousands or tens of thousands of years, right?"
The witch was stunned. "How did you know? Have you fought against them too?"
Bai Xi nodded, "Yes, but that was a long time ago. But from what I see now, their power is growing stronger."
"I also know that those evil creatures were able to target you because you have something they want, right?"
The witch was stunned again. "How did you know?"
Ye Guoliang couldn't help but proudly say, "This Miss Bai Xi is quite capable."
Then, Bai Xi opened her palm, and the three colorful stones floated in front of the witch.
"They took this, right?"
The witch was stunned when she saw the three colorful stones in front of her. "You actually have three?"
Each stone contains boundless, devastating power; the power it unleashes varies depending on who wields it.
When the stone was in her hand, it only exerted one-thousandth of its power. Later, when she saw those evil creatures, she realized what a true powerhouse was.
Unfortunately, her stone had already been taken away by the evil creature, which was like adding wings to a tiger for them.
The witch said, "I have researched the origin of these stones. They are fragments of ancient artifacts, the magical implements of a true god tens of thousands of years ago."
"The true God has long since perished because He saved humanity, leaving behind magical artifacts scattered among the earth, which were obtained by those with the right destiny."
Bai Xi said, "If I'm not mistaken, the other two should have already fallen into their hands."
The witch's expression turned solemn.
The ancient artifacts could only unleash their true power when all five stones were collected, as they were once part of a divine being. Now, two of them had fallen into the hands of an evil being…
Bai Xi looked at her and said, "Please believe me, I can definitely save the lives of everyone in your village."
She never fights a battle she cannot win.
Upon hearing this, the witch, who had been hesitant before, now saw the three stones in the girl's hand and her mind began to waver.
Perhaps she really can take a gamble...
She looked at Bai Xi and asked for confirmation, "Can you really save the lives of everyone in my village? I don't want any of them to die."
Bai Xi nodded. "Yes, I know you experienced your villagers dying in front of you because of evil spirits, so you are in pain and numb, right?"
The witch paused, then chuckled, "I didn't expect you to have seen through all of that."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I'll trust you this once. My name is Feng Ling, that's my real name."
Bai Xi: "Okay, seal the spirit."
