Therefore, many poor villagers living in the surrounding area are extremely afraid of the Zeng family. When they hear that more people are coming, they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

"Why did the Zeng family come here?"

After hearing what the villager said, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown slightly and asked.

"They should be here to collect this year's tribute."

The villager said with an ugly face that their harvest this year was not good. They were suppressed by many forces, and it was not easy to pick spiritual herbs and hunt monsters.

Therefore, until now, they have not even been able to solve their own food and clothing problems, and the Zeng family cannot afford the taxes they have to collect.

"Gift? How much is needed?"

Ye Feng asked with a frown on his face. Looking at the faces of the villagers at this moment, he could clearly see the fear these villagers had towards the Zeng family.

"We poor people live by picking spiritual grass and hunting low-level monsters in the Purple Mountain. Our lives are not well-off. In the past year, our income has dropped sharply. Therefore, we have defaulted on the payment to the Zeng family.

Up to now, the Zeng family has come to the village to beg for help again and again, and this time should be the last chance."

Because the old man in the village stepped out and explained to Ye Feng.

"What has the Zeng family done in the village by collecting your tribute? If you still can't turn over your tribute this time, what will happen to the Zeng family?"

Ye Feng continued to ask, he wanted to know the whole story.

"The Zeng family is the absolute ruler of the surrounding area. They never do anything for us to collect the tribute. But once the kung fu cannot be handed over, it may be a disaster for us. This time, if we still cannot hand over the tribute

Fu, the Zeng family may bloodbath the entire village."

The old man continued to explain to Ye Feng, with a heavy look of worry on his face. The Zeng family was a force at the level of King Wu, and it was not something that a village like theirs could provoke.

"Brother Ye, please leave as soon as possible before the additional people arrive. You promised me forever, and we don't want to implicate you."

The old man continued to speak, with a hint of eagerness on his face. The people from the Zeng family were unkind, and they did not want to involve Ye Feng.

As soon as these words came out, many people in the village expressed their opinions, asking Ye Feng to leave the village as soon as possible to avoid the Zeng family's sanctions against the village.

Looking at the performance of the villagers at this moment, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. At such a critical moment, these simple villagers were thinking about his safety.

"Where is the village chief?"

However, before Ye Feng could make any statement, he heard an extremely cold voice coming from not far away.

The faces of everyone in the village suddenly became extremely ugly. They knew that someone from the Zeng family had arrived, and Ye Feng could not leave even if he wanted to.

Many people looked towards a certain direction and saw several strong men rushing in, and the aura on each of them was extremely strong.

These people are all strong men sent by the Zeng family. There are about a dozen of them. Each one of them has a cultivation level above the eighth level of Shenwu. The two leaders are experts at the peak level of Shenwu.

Such a cultivation level is like a god-like existence to ordinary villages outside the Purple Mountain. You must know that the strongest person in the village where Murou and Muyu are located is only at the peak level of Qi Condensation.

.

It was the old man who just spoke to Ye Feng, who was also the village chief.

After hearing the call from the Zeng family, the village elder's expression changed instantly, and then he turned around and walked towards a certain direction.

"Your Excellencies are here. I'm not expecting you from afar. I wonder why you are here?"

The village elder raised his hands to the Zeng family members and said with an extremely respectful look on his face.

"Are you pretending to be stupid with us? You have been in arrears with the contributions to my Zeng family for some time. I have given you opportunities time and time again. Now is the last time to collect the contributions. Obediently hand over the contributions. I

The Zeng family can keep your village safe, if not, there will be consequences at your own risk!"

A strong man from the Zeng family glanced at the village elder with cold eyes, his expression showing extreme pride.

He is a strong man at the eighth level of martial arts. How would he put a Qi-condensing person in his eyes?

"Recently, the competition in Purple Mountain has been fierce. The people in my village have worked very hard, but the income is not very satisfactory. The gifts you want are still not available. Please be accommodating and extend my promise.

After a period of time, I will personally take the gift and go to the Zeng family to bear the burden of sin."

The village elder raised his hands and said to the Zeng family. His words were extremely humble, but he still had that anxious look on his face, as if he was afraid of being rejected by the other party.

"Crack!"

However, as soon as the village elder finished speaking, an extremely loud voice was heard from the crowd. After the voice, the body of the village elder fell to the ground, and a purple-red five-fingerprint appeared on half of his face.

, there was blood oozing out from the corners of his mouth.

"You damn thing, I've been lenient to your village over and over again, and now you have the nerve to shirk it like this. This slap is a punishment for what you just said."

The strong man from the Zeng family said indifferently, his aura was extremely cold, and there was no doubt in his words. It was as if no one could disobey the words he said.

Seeing this scene, a look of resentment appeared on the faces of the people in the village. Their village chief was highly respected in the village and considered everything for the villagers. But now, because of the matter of offering gifts, he suffered such humiliation from the Zeng family.

They were already filled with rage and wished they could expel the Zeng family now.

"I will give you one stick of incense to consider now. If you cannot hand over the gift within one stick of incense, no one among you will survive!"

The strong man from the Zeng family didn't care at all about the current expressions of the people in the village, and said to himself, his words were still so cold.

The faces of the people in the village were solemn. How could they collect the huge amount of gifts in just one stick of incense? The words of the strong man from the Zeng family were like a death sentence for them.

"Your Excellency, the time for one stick of incense is too short. How can we collect the donations? Please give me a little more grace!"

The village elder stood up from the ground with difficulty and said in pleading words.

"You immortal thing, shut your crow mouth. It seems that not paying the tribute may have been your idea. If that is the case, then I will kill you!"

Seeing the village elder say this, the aura of the strong man from the Zeng family became even colder. In an instant, a pressure was released from his body and fell on the village elder instantly, causing the village elder to feel a sudden

Stocks are under unprecedented pressure.

The eighth-level Shenwu expert could not compete with a Qi-condensing person like the village elder. In just a moment, the village elder's body was ready to crawl to the ground under pressure, and his face was extremely pale.

"Go to hell!"

But the strong man from the Zeng family showed no mercy at all. He saw a stronger aura being released from his body. He raised the soles of his feet high and then stepped down hard on the body of the village elder!

If he, who is at the eighth level of Shenwu, falls with this kick, the village elder will definitely die!

"stop!"

However, just as the foot of the strong man from the Zeng family was about to fall, an indifferent voice came over.

The strong man from the Zeng family couldn't help but stare at him for a year, but the strength of his foot still did not weaken, and he was bound to kill the village elder with this kick.

"call out!"

However, almost at the same time, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the void. Just when the old man of the Zeng family was about to land, the beam of light penetrated everything and landed directly on the calf of the strong man of the Zeng family.

.

The power of the speed of light was so terrifying that it instantly penetrated the strong man from the Zeng family's calf, causing the strong man from the Zeng family to scream in agony, and the downward stamping of his feet slowed down instantly.

He whined and retreated quickly, his face looking extremely pale.

At this moment, many people present were stunned, including the strong man from the Zeng family who had just been hit.

"Who, who hurt me?"

The strong man from the Zeng family was injured in the leg, but he still had that arrogant look on his face. His eyes were scanning the people in the village angrily, as if he was searching for the target he wanted to find.

"It's me!"

Almost at the same time, another indifference was hidden. The next moment, Ye Feng stepped out from the crowd, slowly came to the village elder, and helped the other person's body up.

"Brother Ye..."

The village elder looked at Ye Feng with a worried look on his face. He didn't want to implicate Ye Feng because of what he promised.

"Senior, please don't worry, please stay back."

Ye Feng smiled at the village elder. Although the other person's cultivation level was not as good as his, Ye Feng still called him "senior" as a sign of respect for the village elder.

A soft light flashed through the village elder's vicissitudes of life, and he was extremely grateful in his heart, but at the same time he was worried about Ye Feng.

When the village elders saw Ye Feng's confident demeanor, they felt slightly relieved.

"Who are you and why do you want to hurt me?"
