You Are Not Allowed to Go Past!

"Oh? Yes!"

Ye Jing sensed the evil fluctuations within the statue.

He stretched out his hand, his palm gleaming, preparing to use Secret Method to retrieve the Black Pearl.

Sudden.

He turned around and sensed a large group of villagers carrying various tools—harpoons, shovels, hammers—marching menacingly toward him.

Ye Jing frowned, recalling the last time.

Could these villagers also be controlled by Evil God?

However, now that the world's protective barrier has been erected, the Evil God's control over these people should have failed.

But why are these people stopping me now?

Could this be a loophole in the world's protective barrier?

Ye Jing's expression was grave; this was a very serious matter.

One vulnerability could mean many more!

Given the bizarre nature of the Evil God, it could very well bring about a major hidden danger!

We must investigate this matter as soon as possible!

Ye Jing walked forward, a scabbard appearing in his hand, ready to knock these guys unconscious again.

Sudden.

A small figure appeared before the villagers, holding a wooden stick in its tiny hand, its face resolute!

"You are not allowed to go over there!"

The little boy's voice was full of childish innocence.

Ye Jing was taken aback, looking at him with some surprise. Could it be that this little boy hadn't been influenced by the Evil God?

This unexpected turn of events prevented Ye Jing from making a move immediately. He concealed himself and wanted to see what was going on.

The little boy's clothes were worn and obviously too small for him!

"I won't let you pass! You can't damage the idol!"

The little boy held the wooden stick horizontally in front of his chest, ready to attack at any moment.

"Xiao Huan, move aside! That's not a statue, it's Evil God! It's been corrupted by Evil God long ago! Move aside!" From the crowd, an old man with dark brown skin, covered in the marks of wind and sun, stepped forward.

"Village chief, no! My parents carved that! No! The Evil God is gone! It won't be Evil God anymore!" The little boy shook his head vigorously.

"The Evil God has left now, but what if he comes back with an Evil God? Can you guarantee that? Da Yu, Da Li, move Xiao Huan away!" the old man called the village chief said sternly.

"Yes!"

Then two more burly men stepped out from the crowd.

"No, no, I won't let you pass!" The little boy waved the stick in his hand wildly, haphazardly, but with some strength.

But even that wasn't enough against two strong men.

One of the men grabbed the stick and snatched it from him.

Another man picked up the little boy and carried him to the side.

The little boy, who looked only seven or eight years old, had absolutely no ability to resist.

"Stop! No, you can't!" The little boy struggled desperately, his dark face turning a deep red. "Please, no! That's my parents' life's work!"

In the end, the little boy even started pleading, tears streaming down his face.

"Xiao Huan, don't blame us. I know you must have felt it too. The Evil God's Corruption the statue. For the safety of the villagers, it must be destroyed!" The young man holding him looked reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.

"No, no, please, Brother Da Li, let me go! That's my dad... Don't smash it, don't smash it!"

"Bang!"

Ignoring the little boy's cries, the villagers smashed the Shi Tuo statue with their hammers.

The shovels were also shoveling soil under the statue, digging out the foundation.

The one holding the harpoon stood guard on the stone statue, afraid that some evil thing might jump out!

"Stop, please, stop..."

Ye Jing watched this scene quietly, his face full of confusion. What was going on?

Why is this happening?

How could these villagers know about the existence of Evil God?

They even knew that Evil God's Corruption the statue.

However, it is now certain that these people have not been influenced by the Evil God.

"Bang!"

Another hammer blow struck the statue, creating a chip in it.

The little boy's eyes were filled with despair, tears streamed down his face, and he gradually lost his strength due to the violent struggle.

The burly man who was holding him slowly loosened his grip a little; this child was a pitiful person, and he didn't want to hurt him.

But suddenly!

The little boy in his arms suddenly exerted force and broke free from his grasp.

"Xiao Huan!"

The man competing was startled and quickly reached out.

But the little boy was very quick-witted; he rolled away to dodge and then lunged at the person swinging the hammer.

"Stop!"

The man swinging the hammer had no idea someone would rush at him.

He lost his balance and fell off the cliff with the little boy.

Everyone was shocked. Although there was seawater below, it was a rocky beach, and falling in would surely mean certain death!

"Damn it!" the village chief cursed. "Quick, go down and save them!"

Everyone stopped using their tools and ran down the cliff.

Just as he was about to take a step, two figures slowly floated up from the cliff.

It was the little boy and the villager who had just swung the hammer!

The villagers stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

"What... what's going on?" The Elder contracted. "Could it be that the Evil God has returned?"

Fear instantly filled everyone's eyes, and they all grabbed the tools on the ground and pointed them at the little boy and the man with the hammer.

In the air.

The little boy and the man who had been hitting him were equally terrified. They didn't know what was happening or how they had suddenly been thrown into the air!

Da da da!

Steady footsteps sounded behind them.

The villagers turned around abruptly and saw a man with extraordinary bearing, exuding a powerful and mysterious aura.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person!"

Ye Jing smiled.

However, the group remained vigilant, since bad people don't admit they are bad.

However, the person in front of him did not possess any aura of Evil God.

Ye Jing controlled the two people in the air and slowly lowered them to the ground.

"No need to be so wary. You should be able to sense my power. If I really wanted to deal with you, I wouldn't need to deceive you!" Ye Jing said calmly. "My name is Ye Jing, and I'm here to deal with the idol Evil God's Corruption!"

The villagers were all shocked; it turned out that someone else besides them knew about the Evil God.

"Immortal Master, it's not that we don't trust you, but some strange things have just happened in our village, so Immortal Master 're a bit nervous. Please don't take offense!" Elder Qian Jiahe said respectfully.

The other party was right. The Immortal Master in front of them was extremely powerful, while they were just ordinary people who had no ability to resist.

"Is the Immortal Master also here to destroy this statue?"

He asked again.

Yes, but...

Ye Jing had just smiled and nodded when he was interrupted by the little boy's voice:

"No, we can't destroy it! The Evil God is gone, he won't come back!"

"Xiao Huan, don't be rude! Immortal Master, please forgive me, this child is an orphan, lacks discipline, and doesn't know manners. I hope the Immortal Master will forgive him!" Qian Jiahe roared. Was this little brat trying to kill their entire village?
