Powerful pressure, like a physical mountain, suddenly enveloped the entire Great Lake Village.
All the villagers felt their hearts sink suddenly, their breathing became extremely difficult, and their faces turned pale.
The villagers in the room, whether they were pregnant women or ignorant children, were all shocked by this terrible smell.
They walked out of their simple houses involuntarily and gathered in horror at the open space in the center of the village.
They raised their heads tremblingly and looked toward the sky.
I saw two men with strong auras standing in the sky, surrounded by the bright King-level Rules and Divine Light, which made people unable to open their eyes and made people dare not look directly into their eyes.
These two God King looked down at the panicked villagers below indifferently, like looking down at ants.
The God King on the left holding a dark chain is named Yu Wen Tao. His voice exploded in the sky and spread throughout the village:
"We are members of the Feather Soul Tribe Enforcement Team. We have tracked a deserter named Shi Zhuang who has fled back to this village! Hand him over immediately and harbor the deserter at your own risk!"
"Frontline? What frontline?"
The village chief Shi Da Hu suppressed the fear in his heart, raised his head and shouted, with disbelief written on his face:
"Could it be that all the young people in our village who joined you Feather Soul Tribe were sent to the front line to fight? You didn't mention this at all when you came to recruit them!"
When questioned in public, Yu Wen Tao showed no emotion on his face and responded indifferently:
"The villagers in your village voluntarily went to the front line to gain training resources and a better future."
This is naturally false.
The actual situation is that Feather Soul Tribe used the pretext of trials and other pretexts to directly integrate these recruited villagers into the frontline cannon fodder camp to consume the power of the enemy tribe Blazing Sun Tribe.
In the brutal battle on the front line, these villagers of Great Lake Village showed amazing combat literacy and survival ability.
With a powerful Body Refining Divine Art named <Indestructible Vajra Body>, their physical strength and power recovery speed are far beyond that of ordinary people.
It can even compete with the regular fighters of the Blazing Sun Tribe head-on without falling behind.
The real purpose of their coming this time was not to pursue an insignificant deserter Shi Zhuang.
Shi Zhuang is the bait they deliberately put back.
Even when Shi Zhuang was injured and on the verge of death in the wilderness, they secretly took action and used Healing Art to hang his life up to ensure that he could "luckily" escape back to the village.
All this is to create a seemingly reasonable excuse for the next plan.
The person on the right, God King, had an extremely impatient look on his face and shouted:
"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over Shi Zhuang quickly! I only give you three seconds to count! One!"
"Shi Zhuang didn't return to the village at all! We never saw him at all!"
The village chief Shi Da Hu bit the bullet and shouted loudly according to Jiang Ping An's previous instructions.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhuang's father, the tall man, burst into tears, beat his chest, and shouted sadly:
"My son... my son hasn't come back at all! Are you mistaken?"
"Stubborn!"
Yu Wen Tao, who was holding the chain, snorted coldly, his voice cold and bone-chilling, "According to the iron law of the Feather Soul Tribe, anyone who harbors a deserter is guilty of the same crime as a deserter! Kill without mercy!"
He deliberately emphasized his tone, and a terrifying murderous intention enveloped every villager.
"If your village harbors fugitives, then... kill the whole village!"
The words "Kill the whole village" caused the expressions of all the villagers to change instantly.
Many ordinary villagers who had never experienced such a battle were so frightened that their legs became weak and they collapsed directly to the ground. The cries of children and the sobbing of women could be heard one after another.
"Look, after this king has pulled the person out, what else can you say?"
Yu Wen Tao stopped talking nonsense, powerful spiritual thoughts covered every inch of land and every house in Great Lake Village, carefully searching for traces of Shi Zhuang.
The reason why Feather Soul Tribe tried so hard to let Shi Zhuang "escape" back to the village was so that the villagers could subconsciously cover and hide him out of family affection or friendship with the same village.
In this way, they have sufficient "reasons" to intimidate and pressure the villagers.
According to the original plan, they would successfully find Shi Zhuang, then pretend to be furious and execute all the villagers who "harbored" him in accordance with the "law" to create extreme fear.
Immediately afterwards, another companion stood up to "play a red face" and pretended to dissuade him, showing that he "cannot bear" to see the entire village being slaughtered, thus "allowing one side".
After such an operation, the surviving villagers will definitely be grateful to the "merciful" Feather Soul Tribe, and will be more easily fooled into joining Feather Soul Tribe willingly.
This is their elaborate plan
There are two main reasons why we did not just forcibly capture all the villagers, but went through such a large circle.
First, forcibly capturing the strong men on the front line will demoralize them and make them easy to rebel on the battlefield, or even defect on the battlefield, which is too risky.
The second and more important reason is that after seeing the power of <Indestructible Vajra Body>, the senior management of the Feather Soul Tribe salivated over this technique.
They once searched the souls of the captured villagers Great Lake Village and learned that this technique was given by a mysterious strong man with unknown cultivation level.
This village had been kind to the strong man, so it received something in return.
If they Feather Soul Tribe attack Great Lake Village without any reason, they will probably anger the strong man who gave Divine Art.
Although Feather Soul Tribe is not afraid, it is better to do less than to do more.
They need a "legitimate" reason to recruit villagers and take advantage of the opportunity to obtain Divine Art.

And "villagers harbor deserters and will be severely punished in accordance with the law" is the most perfect excuse.
Next, you only need to find Shi Zhuang, and the plan can proceed smoothly...
"Why is the person missing?"
Yu Wen Tao's mind glanced back and forth several times, and the calmness and indifference on his face turned into astonishment.
There is no sign of Shi Zhuang in the village!
God King next to him heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately released his majestic spiritual thoughts, like a comb, carefully combing the entire village and the surrounding area.
After checking back and forth several times, the two looked at each other with disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Impossible!"
Two God King almost blurted out.
They clearly watched Shi Zhuang crawl into the village dragging his body, how could he disappear into thin air?
Even if he died from his injuries, there should be a body!
Yu Wen Tao's fierce gaze was instantly locked on Shi Zhuang's parents, "We clearly saw Shi Zhuang return to the village with our own eyes! Say! Where did you hide him!"
Shi Zhuang's parents were so frightened by the murderous gaze that they trembled and fell to their knees with a plop.
"I... we really didn't see our son come back..."
Shi Zhuang's father responded with a trembling voice under tremendous pressure.
"Do you think such a clumsy lie can fool me?"
Yu Wen Tao became angry with shame.
In a flash, he rushed in front of Shi Zhuang's father. A big hand covered by Divine Power was like an iron pincer, grabbing his neck and forcibly lifting him up from the ground.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to forcefully use the soul-searching technique.
For these villagers who have little foundation in cultivation, searching for souls will most likely cause their souls to be damaged, turn them into idiots, or even cause them to lose their souls on the spot!
Just when Yu Wen Tao's Soul Power was about to invade the other party Sea of Consciousness.
A cold, terrifying murderous intention suddenly descended and enveloped Yu Wen Tao!
Yu Wen Tao felt that the divine energy he was about to explore Soul Force solidified, as if frozen by invisible ice, and a fatal sense of crisis made his scalp numb!
He reacted very quickly, as if he had been burned, and violently threw Shi Zhuang's father away from his hand. He retreated violently, returned to his companions in an instant, and looked in the direction of the murderous intent.
I saw not far away, I don't know when, there was an additional shadow of Dao Body.
The man was dressed in simple white clothes, with white hair as white as snow, a calm face, and a temperament that was incompatible with the fearful and rough villagers around him, and was independent of this world.
Yu Wen Tao and his companions' expressions instantly became extremely serious.
The two looked at each other and immediately guessed the person's identity.
This person is most likely the mysterious strong man who gave Great Lake Village Divine Art.
They wanted to pry into the depth of each other's cultivation, but found that they could not detect any specific aura fluctuations when their spiritual thoughts were swept over, as if they were facing a bottomless abyss.
This unfathomable feeling made the two of them feel their hearts in their throats.
Jiang Ping An glanced flatly at the two people in the air, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and slowly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it reached their ears clearly:
"It's just a man running back. It's not a big deal. Let's just leave it at that. When we go back, we will report it and say that Shi Zhuang has died on the road."
Yu Wen Tao clenched the dark chain in the handshake, forced himself to be calm, tried his best to put on a serious and business-like expression on his face, and said loudly and righteously:
"Your words are wrong! I, Feather Soul Tribe Enforcement Team, shoulder the important responsibility of maintaining tribal laws and regulations. How can I turn a blind eye to violations of disciplines just because of your words? If everyone is like this, where is the dignity of the tribe!"
Jiang Ping An didn't speak anymore, but casually took out a [Golden Grain Soul Grass] that exuded Soul Force fluctuations, and threw it at Yu Wen Tao at will.
Seeing this precious magical medicine that was of great benefit to the soul, Yu Wen Tao's eyes lit up subconsciously, and he reached out to catch it almost instinctively.
The high-sounding principles on his lips suddenly got stuck in his throat.
The God King next to him saw his companion acting like this, his face darkened, he felt that his momentum was weakening, and he immediately shouted:
"Hmph! Who do you think we Feather Soul Tribe Enforcement Team are? Do you want to bribe us with just one herb and bend the law for personal gain? This is simply ridiculous!"
Jiang Ping An seemed to have expected this. He flipped his wrist and took out another plant [Golden Grain Soul Grass] that was in good condition. He also casually threw it towards the God King who was scolding.
When God King saw the magical medicine flying towards him, the scowl on his face instantly froze, but his hands were faster than his brain and he grabbed Golden Grain Soul Grass in his hand.
The blackness on his face faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he quickly returned to normal. He even subconsciously inhaled the aroma of herbs.
The two Feather Soul Tribe and God King glanced at each other subconsciously, and both saw a hint of intention and balance in each other's eyes.
There was silence for a moment.
Yu Wen Tao coughed dryly and put Golden Grain Soul Grass away calmly.
The righteousness on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a reasonable expression, and his tone became much gentler:
"Ahem... After my careful investigation and careful consideration, I found that Shi Zhuang did not return to the village. Presumably, he was already on the way to escape and died due to excessive injuries."
The God King next to him also nodded immediately and echoed seriously:
"That's right! We enforce the law and pay attention to evidence. Since we can't find anyone, this matter is over. You village can take care of yourself. Remember, this matter cannot be made public."
After saying that, the two exchanged a tacit look.
There was no longer any pause, Divine Light flashed around him, turning into two streams of light, and quickly disappeared into the sky, as if he had never appeared before.
