A vast cultivation ground had been built at the eastern end of Grass Creek Village.
It was a place of cultivation specially prepared for the village children.
Beside it stood the residence of Clan Elder Li Changqing.
Dusk was deep, and the setting sun was red as blood.
At this moment, all the villagers of Grass Creek Village had gathered on the cultivation ground.
Standing at the very front were Clan Elder Li Changqing and several elderly villagers.
"Although this expedition into the mountains yielded quite a bit, it fell far short of the expectations of the esteemed lords of the Skyfire Demon Sect."
"Therefore, you lowly human peasants of Grass Creek Village must hand over every treasure hidden in your homes to compensate the esteemed lords!"
Outside the cultivation ground, a Silver-robed Man stood with his hands clasped behind his back and spoke loudly.
At once, anger appeared on the villagers' faces, and many clenched their fists.
"What, are you unwilling?"
The Silver-robed Man frowned, his expression turning grim and frigid.
He abruptly pointed at Xue Feng in the crowd. "Think about how his father—your village chief—died!!"
His voice boomed like thunder, making many villagers pale with fright and panic.
Xue Feng, who had been singled out, turned ashen-faced. He lowered his head, trembling all over with rage, yet he dared not speak out.
In midair.
A treasure ship dazzling with flowing light hovered there.
On the treasure ship, six or seven experts from the Skyfire Demon Sect were drinking and making merry.
At their head was a gold robe man with an enchantingly handsome face.
He was Zhi Yin.
A descendant of the Skyfire Demon Sect elder, Spirit Pheasant Immortal, and a Return to One Realm World King who had set foot upon the Ascension to Heaven Road.
