Chapter 280: Messenger
After contacting the villagers for a period of time, Zhao Yi realized that this was an isolated village, and no one knew why they were here.
It's not like they didn't think about getting out of this snowy land, but there wasn't even a single living thing within a hundred miles, so they had to stay in the village honestly, which was peaceful.
As for some other useful information, Zhao Yi didn't even receive any.
"It seems that we can only look deeper." Zhao Yi thought in his heart.
"It hurts! Let go of me!"
"Boy, you have been identified as a cursed object, come with me!"
"I do not want!"
"..."
In this cozy village, there was a sudden noise, and Zhao Yi couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Village chief, something is wrong, Lan Yi was identified as a cursed object by the master!"
Immediately afterwards, a strong villager rushed into the room with an anxious expression on his face.
"What? You bastard!"
Hearing this, the village chief's expression changed slightly, and he walked out of the room quickly, ignoring Zhao Yi.
"Lan Yi, it seems to be the grandson of the village chief."
Zhao Yi murmured, but he is idle now, he followed the village chief and walked out.
In the village, almost half of the villagers surrounded them, with basically the same expressions on their faces, anger and disgust.
What Zhao Yi couldn't figure out was that all these emotions were aimed at Lan Yi.
Beside Lan Yi, a masked man in a black robe held Lan Yi tightly, no matter how much Lan Yi cried, he would not let go, and the surrounding villagers did not move forward either.
"How is this going?"
Zhao Yi was a little confused, these guys are all kind, why are they showing such an expression when facing a child now.
"You are a foreigner, so you don't know. Our village was cursed a long time ago, and everyone died overnight."
"And that cursed thing possesses our villagers from time to time. If the cursed thing is not wiped out, that incident will happen again!"
"And Lan Yi must have done something bad, let the cursed thing possess him!"
A villager explained to Zhao Yi that when he was talking, his face became even more angry.
"Cursed thing?"
Zhao Yi's brows frowned even deeper, his spiritual power gathered in his eyes, and he didn't see that Lan Yi was no different from other children.
"Grandpa, help me!"
Lan's eyes were full of fear, and he looked at the village chief.
"Lan Yi, for the sake of the village, I can only sacrifice you."
The village head looked away as if he couldn't bear it, holding back the tears that were about to fall, and remained indifferent.
"Little ghost, your fate is over, come with me."
The man in the mask and black robe seemed very satisfied with the village chief's actions. With a sneer, he picked up Lan Yiheng and walked out of the village.
"There is evil spirit in this person."
The investigation was fruitless, so Zhao Yi had no choice but to lock the target on the masked man, but found a faint evil spirit on him.
Zhao Yi had dealt with the Blood Fiend clan many times, although he was faint, he recognized it at a glance.
"It seems that I have to take care of this business."
Zhao Yi's eyes flickered slightly, maybe there was a clue on this masked man that he wanted to know.
"Put Lan Yi down quickly, he's not a bad guy!"
But at this moment, those children who played well with Lan Yi couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out, trying to hold the masked man, but they didn't move at all.
"You are crazy, come back quickly, Lan Yi is possessed by a demon, and must be sacrificed for the safety of the village!"
Seeing this, the parents of those children immediately showed anxiety and wanted to hold their children.
"Hmph! Obstructing official business, you are courting death!"
Although the masked man has no spiritual power, he has a cultivation level not weaker than King Wu's. At some point, he pulled out a big knife and smashed it down on them!
"No!"
The children's parents were furious and wanted to rush forward desperately, but they couldn't catch up.
"boom!"
While everyone was feeling sorry for these fresh lives, a muffled sound resounded, and the big knife slashed fiercely on a young man.
However, the strange thing is that the boy's skin wasn't even stabbed!
"Big... big brother?"
Lan Yi looked at Zhao Yi, and couldn't believe that he was rescued by an outsider whom he knew not long ago.
"who are you?!"
The masked man found that he couldn't cut Zhao Yi, and his complexion changed slightly. Except for this village, there is not even a living thing in the vicinity!
"you guess."
Zhao Yi smiled coldly, although he didn't know what the guy's purpose in grabbing the child was, but he was relentless in his attack, and with a little force, the arm that was holding Lan Yi was twisted off.
The screams echoed throughout the village.
"Zhao Yi, what are you doing, he is the messenger who saved our village!"
"It's over, so the people in our whole village can't escape this curse."
"Everyone stop this outsider, he is putting us in danger!"
"..."
The scream of the masked man immediately aroused the anger of the villagers, one by one picked up the shovel tool for doing farm work, and rushed towards Zhao Yi.
"Boy, you are dead!"
Seeing the actions of the villagers, the masked man resisted the pain of breaking his arm, and spoke resentfully.
However, what happened next left him dumbfounded.
"roll!"
Zhao Yi sneered, he had to feel ignorant for these villagers, the terrible coercion from the Martial Saint swept out like a storm.
Even under Zhao Yi's best control, the villagers felt an unbearable pressure sweeping over them, and they couldn't move their bodies.
"what have you done!"
The village head was the most powerful in the village, but he also found that he couldn't move his body at all, and his complexion undoubtedly became very ugly.
"None of you is possessed. If they still want to drive you out, they can come to me at any time."
Zhao Yi said to Lan Yi and those innocent children, they nodded in confusion.
"Let me see what kind of face you have under this mask!"
Zhao Yi looked at the masked man, his eyes were extremely cold, completely different from just now.
"no, do not want!"
The masked man yelled in horror, but it was too late, the mask was taken off, revealing his true face.
It was an extremely ugly face, with bugs squirming vaguely on the face, and even the facial features were not neat.
When the villagers saw this scene, their faces were all pale. They didn't expect the face of the messenger to be so ugly!
"Tell me why you took him away."
Zhao Yi looked at him coldly, oppressed by the Martial Saint, the masked man didn't even dare to resist and lie.
"I... I don't know, I was just following orders to take a child back. They said they were going to do some experiments..."
As the masked man spoke, his face turned from pale to pitch black, obviously poisoned by some kind of poison!
