Chapter 4751
Upon hearing the old village chief’s shout, the villagers of Dashi Village hurriedly grabbed their stools and rushed out, finding an open space to sit down.
Each of them held melon seeds and snacks in their hands, eagerly settling in as if watching an entertaining show.
“You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for ages. I thought you wouldn’t show up!”
“That’s right! This time, you members of the Demon Sealing League better last a bit longer. Last time, the fight ended before we even had our fun!”
“Remember, no pointless chatter! Say what you need to say quickly, or you won’t even get the chance!”
The villagers called out to Zuo Tianzheng and his group.
Zuo Tianzheng stood frozen, staring at the scene before him in utter confusion.
He had no idea what these villagers were talking about. More importantly, why weren’t they afraid of him?
He was the leader of the Demon Sealing League!
“You… What are you doing? I am the leader of the Demon Sealing League!”
“Do you understand what that means? I’m the top authority—the strongest among them!”
Zuo Tianzheng shouted at the villagers, expecting fear.
“Alright, alright, no need to yell. We get it, we really do! You’re the best in the Demon Sealing League.”
“As the leader, at least try to last two moves. Don’t embarrass your League! Let us enjoy the spectacle a little longer!”
The old village chief patted Zuo Tianzheng’s shoulder as he spoke.
“What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by lasting two moves? Is there a demon cultivator in Dashi Village? Tell them to come out and die!”
Zuo Tianzheng shoved the old village chief aside, his voice laced with anger.
“Yes, yes, we have a demon cultivator in Dashi Village,” the old chief nodded.
“I’ll go call Grandma. She’s the demon cultivator!”
Yun’er quickly got up and ran to fetch the old woman.
Zuo Tianzheng felt his scalp tingle. Were the people of Dashi Village all fools?
“Leader, this… why do the villagers here seem like they have something wrong with their heads?”
An elder beside him muttered in bewilderment.
“Who cares? The moment the demon cultivator appears, we strike immediately and end this fast. Something feels off about this place…”
Zuo Tianzheng felt a lingering unease, as if something was about to go wrong.
Before long, Yun’er led out an old woman.
Upon seeing the members of the Demon Sealing League, the old woman’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Oh, you’re finally here! I’m a demon cultivator—are you here to capture me?”
Zuo Tianzheng studied her carefully, sensing the aura of a demon cultivator emanating from her. His expression turned wary as he asked, “Since you admit to being a demon cultivator and know we’re here to catch you, why haven’t you run?”
“Why should I run?” The old woman looked momentarily surprised before chuckling. “I’ll just stay put for now.”
“What do you mean by that?” Zuo Tianzheng frowned.
“Leader, why bother talking to her? Just capture her already—this old woman isn’t strong!”
One of the elders scoffed and prepared to strike.
Zuo Tianzheng stopped him. “Hold on. Something doesn’t feel right. The way they’re acting—it’s making me even more suspicious.”
“Leader, what’s there to worry about? I could wipe out this whole village with a single slap. There’s nothing to be afraid of!” The elder boasted confidently.
“Send someone in first,” Zuo Tianzheng ordered, his caution growing.
The elder turned and pointed at a monk who had been among the first to enter Dashi Village. “You—go capture that old woman.”
The monk hesitated, his reluctance clear, but he had no choice.
“…Cao Nima…” he muttered under his breath, this time loud enough for the elder to hear.
The elder’s face darkened with anger, but he held it in, waiting for the old woman to be captured first.
Summoning his aura, the monk cautiously stepped toward the old woman.
Given his strength, ten old women wouldn’t be a match for him.
Yet, despite that, fear gripped him as he inched forward.
“Are all members of the Demon Sealing League this cowardly?”
The old woman smirked, mocking him.
