There is a faint fishy smell in the air, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks can be heard in the distance, but it does not make people feel noisy at all. Instead, it gives a sense of peace and beauty.
Not far from the shore, there is a fishing village with only a few hundred households.
At this moment, the usual peace was completely broken.
The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, looking angrily at the few richly dressed men in front of them.
The village chief looked helpless: "Sir, we paid for this year's spiritual stones last month, so why pay it again?
We naturally obey the arrangements of the island owner, but the problem is, even if you kill us, we can’t take it out!”
"Don't tell me whether you have these things or not."
The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes frowned and scolded him coldly:
"Even if what you said is true, the last island owner received the spiritual stone last month! Now this spiritual stone is used to honor the new island owner. How can we generalize?"
Hearing this, all the villagers were filled with indignation.
"If the island owner changes, we will have to pay the spirit stones all over again! How can this make sense!"
"That bit of spiritual stone was earned by our hard work for more than half a year! If we are asked to pay it again, it will cost us our lives!"
"According to what you say, if a new island owner comes over in a few days, wouldn't we have to pay again! Are we going to let people live?"
"That's right! Who is the owner of the island has nothing to do with us? Anyway, we only pay once a year. This is the rule!"
…
"Are these rules always like this? Humph! My words are the rules! If you can't get the spirit stone..."
The middle-aged man touched his mustache, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and glanced at the girls next to him.
"It's not impossible to compensate with women. Although my appearance is ordinary, I was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Now I am somewhat interested in this kind of mountain village woman."
Several people behind the middle-aged man laughed in agreement.
"Your Majesty, you are right! I was used to seeing all kinds of enchanting women with the scent of rouge, but now I have a different feeling when I see this wild woman from a mountain village."
"Hahaha! In my opinion, using women to pay debts is indeed a good way. Don't worry, we will soon get tired of these women. When we get tired of them, we will return them to you."
"Don't toast or eat as a penalty. If you anger us, you should know what will happen!"
…
Among the villagers, several young girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they hurriedly hid behind their parents.
"Fuck you mother! It's too much to bully others, it's a big deal--"
The father of one of the girls stared angrily, as if he wanted to fight with the other girl.
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man clapped his hands in the air!
It was like an invisible giant hand slapped the girl's father hard on the chest.
He spurted blood from his mouth, flew backwards and hit a big tree. He fell to the ground and was no longer moving. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
I saw that his chest was dented, as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer. The blood was blurred and the bones were visible. It was extremely ferocious.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
"The boss!"
…
The girl and a woman ran over like crazy, crying beside the man.
The anger on the faces of the villagers turned into fear.
The same word came to their minds: "Cultivator!"
There is law on Penglai Island. The problem is that law only exists among ordinary people!
Cultivators are existences beyond the law!
To put it simply, it is a crime for ordinary people to kill ordinary people.
But if a cultivator kills ordinary people, as long as the number is not too large and the impact is not too great, then no one will pursue it at all!
In the past, those who came to collect spiritual stones were just ordinary people who relied on their power.
Unexpectedly, this time, it was actually a cultivator!
"Do you want to choose to pay the spirit stones, or should I choose a few women to take away?"
The middle-aged man took back his right hand and touched his mustache again, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had just slapped an animal away casually.
The village chief sighed and looked a bit older:
"Pay the spirit stones! We will pay enough spirit stones. I just ask you, sir, to give us a few days of grace!"
"I'll give you two days." The middle-aged man said.
The village chief looked bitter and wanted to speak, but then the middle-aged man continued: "Although I am kind-hearted, my patience is limited!"
The village chief could only swallow his words and lowered his head: "Thank you, sir! I will never forget your kindness."
Just when the middle-aged people were about to turn around and leave, there was a roar and the ground shook, startling everyone.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked surprised.
"I just saw something falling from the sky and landing behind the village!"
A villager pointed in the direction of the noise and said somewhat uncertainly.
"Could it be a meteorite from outer space?"
Another villager said excitedly.
Hearing this, everyone became excited.
Meteorite from outer space may contain precious weapon refining materials!
Right now, they don't know where to collect spiritual stones. If they can get precious materials, then all problems will be solved.
Several young villagers took the lead and ran towards the back of the village.
"Let's go! Go over and have a look."
The middle-aged man in fine clothes signaled to his men and walked towards the back of the village.
"Sir, you—"
The village chief looked shocked and angry, but he did not dare to reach out to stop him.
"Don't worry, if there are precious weapon refining materials, then I will take them away directly and treat them as the spiritual stones you paid!" the middle-aged man said calmly.
If there are indeed weapons-refining materials, their value will definitely far exceed the spiritual stones that the fishing village needs to pay.
This is clearly a completely unequal transaction!
But the village chief knew that he was not qualified to negotiate prices with others, so he did not dare to say anything and wanted to say a few words of gratitude.
"Let's go! Follow us and have a look."
The village chief motioned for everyone to follow him.
Although this may be a big loss, as long as it can solve the current predicament, it is enough.
When I arrived at the back of the village, I saw the first few villagers who ran over, stunned on the spot.
"Why are you so stunned!"
The village chief stepped forward, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was also stunned.
In front of him, there was no extraterrestrial meteorite, but a man and a woman who appeared out of nowhere.
Yang Mu put Long Qi down and looked around, his eyes quickly falling on the people in front of him.
"This is Penglai Island?"
He whispered in a low voice and frowned when he saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes not far away staring at Long Qi:
"Let me ask you, where is this?"
Only then did the middle-aged man in fine clothes look away from Long Qi and turned to look at Yang Mu.
He took a few glances at Yang Mu's young face and said solemnly:
"This is your burial place! Boy, if you don't want to die, you must do whatever I say next! Do you understand?"
