718 Senior, Good Means (1)
The group of people began to travel at full speed. In just half a day, they arrived outside Qingsang Village.
From afar, Han Ci saw a black and white palm print that seemed to have landed on the ground. There was someone under the palm print.
A group of people who were obviously villagers gathered under the black palm print. They watched the battle inside and cheered from time to time.
Under the white palm print, blood dyed the ground red. The situation was completely different.
Han Ci quickly scanned the area and frowned.
He realized that there were many casualties on his side, but there didn’t seem to be any casualties on the Ning Country’s side. If this wasn’t differential treatment, what was?
Since he was unhappy, he could not show it. He said to everyone, “Wait here. I’ll go and meet these people.”
He took a deep breath and squeezed out as much kindness as he could before walking over.
At the entrance of the village, the village chief, who was watching Xu Hongniang challenge the Ning Country cultivators, sensed something and was the first to turn around.
“Here we go again. It’s the barbarians this time.”
Many people turned around and saw Han Ci walking over from afar with cold expressions.
“His aura is very similar to one of the Barbarian Kings. He’s probably from the same tribe.” Old Mu, who was adjusting his aura, said.
“He looks much more obedient this time. He probably knows that we’re not to be trifled with.”
Tie Datou crossed his arms and said coldly, “You came alone?”
“I’m Han Ci from the Cold Wolf Division. I’m here to understand the situation. Please show mercy and don’t kill our people.”
Han Ci imitated the Ning people and bowed.
“It’s too late. We’ve already killed many barbarians.”
The village chief’s expression was cold.
Han Ci frowned when he heard this. He was secretly angry at these people’s attitudes, but he did not dare to say anything harsh. He looked up at the top of the mountain. There was a layer of fog there, and a courtyard was faintly discernible.
“It’s our fault for offending all of you. Please show mercy and stop killing.” Han Ci said as sincerely as he could.
“We can’t decide on this matter. You have to look for Young Master, but Young Master has already said that he wants to kill these people. I don’t think you can change anything.”
The village chief was expressionless as he said, “I advise you not to disturb Young Master.”
Han Ci couldn’t help but frown. His eyes turned slightly cold. “What did they do? Why did they have to kill them?”
“Hehe, you attacked as soon as you arrived and want to destroy our village. What do you think you did?”
Tie Datou snorted. “If you want to talk to Young Master, get your Barbarian Emperor to come over.”
“They will come. Everyone, don’t be anxious.”
Han Ci’s attitude became tough. “I’m here now because I don’t want this matter to become worse and worse. In the end, there won’t be any place to ease it.”
“Where did you get all this nonsense from? If you have the ability, go look for my master directly.”
The large black dog was getting impatient.
“Alright, I’ll pay a visit to Senior.”
Han Ci knew that it was useless to continue talking to these people, so he chose to walk towards the top of the mountain.
Not long after, he saw an acquaintance.
Chen Qi was repairing the road. To be precise, he was repairing the environment that the barbarians had destroyed during the battle with the villagers.
“General Chen, you look quite relaxed.” Han Ci smiled insincerely.
“I will be happy to.”
Chen Qi glanced at Han Ci. “It’s better than those lambs waiting to be slaughtered.”
These words were mocking the Barbarian Race who were trapped and waiting for death. Han Ci was unhappy. “But it’s embarrassing for your Ning Country.”
“It’s better than losing your life.”
After Chen Qi finished speaking, he lowered his head and seriously repaired the road.
Han Ci did not ask Chen Qi anything. He came to the white handprint and his expression darkened when he saw the situation inside.
Xu Ce asked, “Are you the only one here?”
“I’m the only one for now.”
His words disappointed everyone inside.
It was useless for a King-level powerhouse to come here. He could not even defeat the villagers, let alone talk to that mysterious person.
Han Ci continued, “The Frost Emperor will come. Don’t worry, he will definitely be able to save you.”
With that, he walked towards the top of the mountain.
In the courtyard, Song Shi had brought Ning Ruqin’s zither over and was casually playing it. His heart was calm and relaxed as he enjoyed his leisure time.
Suddenly, his zither music stopped. Song Shi stood up. “I’ve really been a little busy recently. It’s only been half a day and someone has already come.”
At the door, Han Ci stopped and stared at the Dragon Subduing Sword. His gaze was immediately attracted.
“This… This is really a divine sword!”
Han Ci’s heart skipped a beat. He thought of the information Lin Changbin had told him. Could it be that a sword had really advanced by this mysterious person’s touch?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. He had never heard of such a heaven-defying thing.
“It must have been placed here to scare people. It’s fake.”
Thinking of the Frost Emperor’s guess, he shook his head and moved his gaze away from the sword. He bowed to the courtyard. “The envoy of the Savage Kingdom, Han Ci, is here to pay his respects to Senior. Senior, please let me meet him.”
“There’s no need to see them. Since I said I wanted them dead, no one can come. Not you, not the people behind you.”
Song Shi’s voice sounded leisurely. “If you don’t believe me, you can send more experts over.”
“Senior, they just don’t know that you’re here. Those who don’t know are innocent. Why take their lives just because they offended you?” Han Ci said in a deep voice.
“I’m not interested in explaining this anymore. If you’re willing to follow them, I can send you in.” Song Shi replied mercilessly.
If he could let them go if they pleaded with him, then if he was not in this village and the villagers were captured by those barbarians, would they be able to survive if they pleaded with him?
