Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 98 Identification

Taking a deep breath full of aroma, Bai Yunqi squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying it very much. He casually pointed at a few people among the three major surnames who were obviously dressed differently. "Look, those brightly dressed old men, and it seems like there are two young people, but I didn’t see them clearly. You have to explain it to the Venerable Family; it’s not that I actively want to eat people, but they used fresh human blood to cast the Blood Curse Summoning Technique, forcibly waking me and summoning me over."

He opened his lazy vertical pupils and glanced at the villagers, sneering, "Don’t lie and deceive either. You’ve already used human blood to cast the curse, that must require at least the blood quantity of a grown man. A living person was used to cast the curse; could you really be unaware?"

As soon as he said this, the villagers were all dumbfounded.

"Zhuzi! My son!" Gousheng was stunned for quite a while before reacting. His son was not beyond saving; it was likely that they didn’t even try to save him, planning to use Zhuzi’s blood to summon this man-eating monster!

And yet, his son’s injuries were caused by his own hands and he personally delivered him...

Too much had happened in such a short time, leaving Gousheng, who was already in a complex mix of self-blame, remorse, and sadness, with no outlet for his emotions. He roared, gaining strength from somewhere unknown, grabbed a stick scattered on the ground while searching for gold, and charged forward.

No one stopped him, as the villagers realized that today’s failed ritual meant the three major surnames might not find an Immortal to worship anymore. Once they lose that advantage, they’ll face the most terrifying backlash.

But they didn’t dare get involved, fearing what hidden trump cards the three major surnames might still have. First, let Gousheng charge in and test the waters, then decide how to act based on the outcome.

He Yaozu had already died being unhelpful, and Gousheng, with red eyes, rushed into the crowd of He Family members, swinging the stick wildly, and the two sides immediately started brawling.

"Oh, so they kept you in the dark?" Bai Yunqi, having lost out on a trick, wasn’t feeling pleased. He skillfully heard the villagers whispering and smiled wickedly, saying slyly, "Forcibly waking and summoning me over, I wouldn’t care about some protective array to shield you so many people. The agreed condition was to give me a pure fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to devour her soul as a catalyst to unleash a massacre, only needing to protect the Xu Family, Wang Family, and whoever else..."

This stirred things up just right. When the villagers were still hopeful and didn’t dare to resist, they suddenly found out that the ritual itself was the three major surnames treating them as fodder to exchange for protection.

Previously being exploited and bullied was akin to being bled dry while still leaving a path for survival, but now that path was gone, making them mortal enemies!

This time they had killed Zhuzi to summon a man-eating monster, what about next time? Who would be killed? Would the summoned monster be stopped, indirectly saving their own lives? freeweɓnøvel.com

"Damn it, Zhuzi was right. We have to kill the three major surnames to survive!"

Someone shouted loudly, and the villagers all stood up, grabbing whatever was at hand and readying themselves to fight.

"Hold on!"

Seeing that a chaotic fight was unavoidable, Wan Mingchuan quickly stepped out and called to stop it.

Given his now formidable and terrifying presence and his mysterious master, the angry villagers didn’t dare provoke him, but gritted their teeth, surrounding the three family members to prevent them from escaping.

"Honya."

Hearing him call out to her, Honya was overjoyed, both fearful and relieved, shouting, "Mingchuan brother, I’m here! Boohoo, I knew you must like me. I didn’t know anything about what my father and grandfather did, it has nothing to do with me. You take me away, don’t worry about others, okay?"

She no longer dared to hope to marry the Thousand-Year-Old Rat Spirit, although that monster’s human form was quite handsome, it was still not as familiar as Wan Mingchuan.

The key was that he was loyal and righteous, remembering to save her in such a dangerous moment. It seemed that their marriage hadn’t happened yet because of that old unyielding one causing trouble between them; otherwise, they would have been a couple long ago, and kids would have been born!

"Then I ask you, how did my grandfather die?" Wan Mingchuan learned and honed his skills with the initial goal of becoming strong to no longer fear the dominance of the three major surnames, to avenge and seek justice for his grandfather.

Witnessing the three aristocratic families finally being overthrown, having oppressed the villagers, he now had only one thought—to avenge his grandfather!

As for the others among the three major surnames, the debts they incurred would be repaid sooner or later.

"Ah? He, he was burned to death by the Rat Spirit..." Honya’s heart trembled at his question and she stubbornly denied, "That night was chaotic, lots of people were pushing and shoving, fleeing for their lives, and your grandfather was discovered."

She believe she had hidden it well and that without a living witness after so long, as long as she didn’t admit that she intentionally pushed that old unyielding one out, who would know?

Wan Mingchuan endured his anger, fists clenched, scanning the surroundings, finding no one spoke out.

Without witness Lin Chunsheng present for confrontation, he wanted to publicly bring the murderer of his grandfather to justice and openly avenge him, not to muddle through it all and kill a scapegoat in confusion.

"Jingle! Jingle!"

In the quiet, Jiang Yuan took out a few Gold Coins from his satchel, casually tossing them and playing with them. The shimmering Gold Coins immediately caught the covetous gazes of many.

"I have five pieces of Gold here. Whoever stands up and points out the culprit who killed Grandpa Wan will receive these Gold Coins as thanks." He deliberately held the coins in the sunlight, pretending, illuminating the villagers’ faces with the golden reflections from various angles.

Through this period of interaction, Jiang Yuan knew that finding out how Grandpa had died tragically and avenging him was his disciple’s obsession.

If he couldn’t clear up exactly what happened back then, how Grandpa was discovered and burned to death, he wouldn’t be able to unravel the knot in his heart, which normally wouldn’t aid in cultivation.

Anyway, it wouldn’t cost much money, and using human greed could straightforwardly solve the issue.

"I know!"

Seduced by the gold, an old man with a hunched back mustered his courage to step up. A nearby old woman tried to stop him but was glared at. He pointed at Honya, saying, "That night, everyone was heading out of the village, it was chaotic. I couldn’t run or climb trees, so I hid behind a big rock outside the village, and Old Man Wan led lots of folks into the woods, telling everyone to hide.

Honya plumply ran slowly and even fell, Old Man Wan pulled her up and took her into the bushes.

I saw with my own eyes that only the two of them hid in that bush, before long Old Man Wan was pushed out and hit a rock, spraining his foot and unable to get up. I quietly called for him to crawl over and hide behind the stone, but before Old Man Wan could move, the Rat Spirit arrived, and it must have been her who pushed him!"

Honya panicked, hurriedly waving her hands to deny, "I didn’t, it wasn’t me! The old man is crazy for Gold, he’s slandering me!"

"Mingchuan, you find out who murdered your grandfather, and kill her, then you won’t kill us, right?" Honya’s uncle He Baohong stood up, identifying the culprit, "The one who killed your grandfather was Honya, she admitted it to me herself!

She said that night your grandfather took her into the bushes, and she suspected he must have come around to let you be her husband, otherwise why make an effort to help her, even her own father only cared about her brother.

Asking when you would be allowed in the Xu Family’s door, your grandfather didn’t directly agree to the marriage, they argued, angering Honya, and she pushed your grandfather out in a fury!"
