Chapter 983: Disregarding the Lives of the People
As soon as Nan Mingzhu left, ngyu set up an Isolation Array and a Defensive Formation around the Youth House row.
Feng Dongcheng and the others went directly to the house closest to the Youth House.
While outside, Gu Dongxing used his Divine Sense to scan and knew the hoowner was a middle-aged man, with an elderly mother and three children, including a couple themselves, totaling six people.
The middle-aged man was about in his thirties, looking depressed. When he saw Gu Dongxing and others co in, he only lifted his eyelids to glance at them, then lowered his head again to continue rolling a cigarette using old notebooks the kids had used for school.
The ground was littered with cigarette butts.
Beside him, a middle-aged woman was chopping pig feed, while a ten-year-old and a seven-or-eight-year-old child were busy doing howork at a small table.
An old woman was cooking at the stove door.
Clearly, their arrival was not welco.
Feng Dongcheng glanced around and greeted the hoowner, “Hello!”
The woman chopping pig feed imdiately replied, “Hello, I’m not well.”
Wei Chengbin sighed inwardly as his wife rushed to answer; it wasn’t just her, he was fed up too.
Nan Mingzhu, who had followed along, couldn’t help but feel angry, “How can you talk like this? We ca with good intentions—”
The woman interrupted Nan Mingzhu, “I don’t know what good intentions you have, but all I know is that we villagers can’t leave, yet those sent from above co batch after batch, only to stop by the village chief’s house to ask questions before leaving, not caring about whether us ordinary people live or die.”
Feng Dongcheng and the others were startled, not knowing the previous team had been fed to the Demon Cultivator by the village chief?
Nan Mingzhu was infuriated, “You’re really sothing. The two teams sent from above have already succumbed, and you say they don’t care about the people? If they didn’t care, why are they the ones who died instead of you?”
Nan Mingzhu’s words left the family in shock.
Even the middle-aged man who had been smoking lifted his head quickly, staring at Nan Mingzhu, “What did you say?”
Nan Mingzhu was startled by his sudden aura but quickly got angry, how could she be intimidated by a mountain farr!
“What did I say, don’t you have ears to listen?”
The middle-aged man glanced at everyone, his eyes swiftly moving through the crowd, fixing on Gu Dongxing, “The people sent from above didn’t return?”
Feng Dongcheng found it odd, why didn’t this villager ask him, but instead chose Gu Dongxing? Clearly, he was the leader among them!
However, Gu Dongxing was a regint commander, accustod to leading soldiers, naturally exuding a superior aura, influencing the villager’s judgnt.
Gu Dongxing was amazed by this villager’s intuition, evidently, he picked the strongest among them to inquire.
Among the group here, Gu Dongxing undeniably had the most power, yet he had already tried to restrain his aura, how did he find him?
Gu Dongxing had no choice but to step forward, “Yes, after reporting what’s happening here, higher leadership sent two teams to investigate, first were township officers, followed by county officers. But none of them returned.
As far as we know, they are all deceased, and the murderer is your village chief.”
