Courting Death!

"Village Chief Yangku, Come out!"

Khanji's chilling voice echoed across the village, causing those hidden away to flinch.

They weren't anywhere near the entrance of the village. Yet they heard his words loud and clear.

And at this moment, their initial fear returned to them.

Gulp

They swallowed hard, holding one another.

Boss Chu should be able to handle them, right?

Doubt soon made many sweat buckets.

But what else could they do but hide away and pray that things went alright?

Yangku, his son Miroku, Cerberus, and the rest of the cultivators all headed out to greet these strangers of the night.

But unlike those hidden away, they knew Boss Chu and Old Fru were watching them somewhere within the shadows. So they had a sense of security in their hearts.

Holding the few items and grains, they humbly walked towards the Flame bandits.

The reason why all this started in the first place was that they couldn't keep up with the constant demands of these bandits.
