C2206 Seven Nights
That old woman was at least 90 years old, but according to the abundant spiritual energy in Tianmiao Star, ordinary people could live up to 100 years old even if they were not sick or in pain. The old woman's body was still very healthy. When she suddenly heard Duoer calling her, the old woman stood up in shock. She walked towards Duoer.
"You, you are Duoer's grandmother?"
The moment the old woman spoke, the rest of the villagers were shocked. This little girl in front of them who looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, could it be that she was the legendary phoenix that flew out from the Zhao Village and became a cultivator, Zhao Duoer?
"It really is you, Little Flower. I never thought that after so many years, you are still here."
Duoer was incomparably happy.
"Grandma Duoer, it's good that you are back. During the days when you were away, a bully took all the men from Zhao Village away. Only the old, weak, women, and children are left in the village waiting for death!"
Tears immediately flowed down the old woman's face.
"What? Where did this bully come from?"
Duoer used her Divine Sense and found that there were not many males in the village. There were only a few three to five years old children, but their father was nowhere to be seen.
"He is the same as you, also a cultivator. He came and went from high school. All these years, when the male children in the village reach the age of fourteen, they will take them away."
The old woman cried and cried. The other women finally reacted. They echoed her. Maybe it was the noise outside the village that attracted the villagers' attention. Ning Qi noticed that in less than a while, over a hundred women of different ages appeared at the entrance of the village. They were looking at them with fear in their eyes. A few of the women were hugging the child in their arms tightly. They were afraid that someone would snatch them away.
"There's actually such a thing..."
Duoer's eyes revealed a trace of guilt. She did not come back for all these years. However, she did not know that there were cultivators wreaking havoc in Zhao Village. After the guilt, a trace of anger appeared in her eyes, and she said to Ning Qi, "Senior Beixuan, can I go and save the male disciples of Zhao Village first? After that, I will bring you to that cave?"
"Of course, I will go with you."
Ning Qi smiled.
Duoer was touched and nodded.
"Little Hua, when will that cultivator come again?"
Duoer asked the old woman.
"Our village's oldest child, Hu, is already eight years old. The next time he comes, it should be six years later."
The old woman calculated.
In the distance, a child who was sticking his head out seemed to have heard his name. He subconsciously looked towards the old woman and was quickly captured by his mother.
"Six years? The time is too long... Oh right, are they only coming to our Zhao Village? Have they gone to the other villages?"
Duoer's eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, Grandmother Duoer. The villages nearby. They all went there. And the last time they came, I heard them talking about over a hundred thousand slaves working in the mines. It's far from enough. It seems like they're planning to gather a million slaves. "
The old woman said.
"That's good, the old woman said. There should be children in the nearby villages who are almost fourteen years old. As long as we find this village, we will be able to find them."
Duoer smiled.
Ning Qi's Divine Sense swept out like flowing water. After a few breaths, he smiled at Duoer and said, "I found a village. There are a few children who are almost fourteen years old."
"Thank you, Senior Beixuan!"
Duoer said in surprise. Then she gave a few more instructions to the old woman and flew with Ning Qi towards the village.
"Grandma Hua, who is that girl?" the old woman asked.
After the two of them left, the farmer near the village entrance approached the old woman and asked curiously.
"That is the pride of our Zhao Village - Grandma Duoer, and also the only cultivator in all the villages! I heard that Grandma Duoer's father saw immortals descending to the mortal world with his own eyes. That was why Grandma Duoer became a cultivator. Now that Grandma Duoer is back, your man should be able to go home soon. It's really God's blessing! "
The old woman laughed loudly.
When everyone heard this, their faces immediately revealed a look of wild joy!
...
A thousand miles away from the Zhao Village, there was a mountain stronghold that was many times bigger than the Zhao Village. At this moment, the people in the mountain stronghold were gathered at the main entrance, looking at a few figures in front of them without saying anything.
A few of the women looked reluctant to part with them, their eyes were fixed on a few robust young men at the entrance.
"Why are there only five of them? I remember there were eight of them."
A Qi Refining Stage warrior with two mustache said plainly. Besides him, there were three other people with similar cultivation base as him. They were using eagle-like eyes to look at the women in the stockade.
"Lord cultivator, the other three have already been taken away by the big bugs in the mountain."
Since the chief was taken away, as the wife of the chief, she naturally became the new chief.
"If you dare to lie to us, you may lose thousands of lives in your village!"
The man with the mustache sneered.
"I dare not."
The old woman shook her head.
"Five then. Let's go."
Another Qi Refining Stage warrior said.
"Are you bringing us to cultivate?"
Suddenly, among the five young men, one of them asked with a curious look in his eyes.
"Cultivate? Hehe, how can a lowly bastard like you be qualified to cultivate?"
The moustache man looked at the youth and laughed mockingly.
"I'm not a lowly bastard!"
The youth flew into a rage, but the other four looked at the man with the mustache in fear. They did not have the courage and courage of the youth.
"Qiye, do not be rude to cultivators!"
The old woman quickly stepped forward and slapped the young man in the face. Then, she smiled apologetically and said to the man in front of her. "Children are not sensible, cultivators do not take offense, do not take offense..."
"There's no difference between four and five people. Today, I'll bring one less person back. I don't think the higher-ups will say anything."
The man with the mustache smiled faintly. He seemed to be talking to himself, but at the same time, he seemed to be talking to a few other cultivators. After that, he walked towards the young man called Qiye.
When the women in the stockade saw this, they sighed in their hearts. They were afraid that Qiye would not be able to live today.
After his father was captured, his mother died of illness not long after. His grandfather and grandmother had died a long time ago. He was an orphan, and now that he had died, his bloodline was going to be broken.
"Chief, grandmother, get out of the way. If he wants to kill, let him kill him."1
Qiye suddenly pushed the old woman in front of him away. He stared at the mustache man fearlessly. When the mustache man saw his eyes, he suddenly felt a shiver in his heart.
"Damn it!"
The moustache man, who was angry from embarrassment, roared. As if to drive away the fear that had appeared out of nowhere, he threw a palm at Qiye.
"This is the place."
A voice suddenly sounded. In the next moment, two figures appeared in front of Qiye.
The man with the mustache was stunned for a moment. He quickly retracted his palm and looked at Ning Qi and Duoer with fear in his eyes.
When the woman in the village saw this scene, she was also stunned on the spot. Why were there two more cultivators?
