“Alright, I won’t resist. What do you want? Lock me up? Anyway, I’m not Devil. You’ll understand!” Qin Fei gave up resisting. These people were ordinary people. Even if they used a knife to cut his body, they would not be able to hurt a single hair of his body.

Qiu Hu was the boldest, Seeing Qin Fei close his eyes and put his hands behind his back, There was no resistance in his eyes. He nervously pinched the shoulder pole in his hand and signaled the others not to move. He moved to Qin Fei step by step and tried to swing the shoulder pole in front of him. Seeing that Qin Fei did not react, he couldn’t help but reveal a happy expression. He took out a hemp rope and tied Qin Fei’s hands and feet.

Until he was tied up, Qin Fei didn’t resist at all and allowed Qiu Hu to move.

“What exactly is going on?”

All the villagers were shocked to see this scene. This was different from the legendary Devil. Which Devil didn’t kill people when they saw them? How could it be so docile?

A bright light flashed in the village chief’s turbid eyes, immediately stopping Qiu Hu from continuing. He signaled youth to help him to Qin Fei and said in a trembling voice, “Cough … Young man, are you really not Devil?”

Qin Fei opened his eyes and smiled, “I’m really not Devil. Don’t tell me you don’t believe me?”

The village chief nodded and said, “Indeed, if you really are Devil, you will definitely not be tied up by Qiu Hu! Qiu Hu, untie him quickly. He may really have come from a farther village. It is not surprising that we have never seen him before!”

Qiu Hu shook his head and said, “Village Chief, you can’t trust him. This kid must be cheating. He wants to win our approval first, and then kill us one by one!”

“Are you stupid?” The Village Chief was furious. His voice suddenly increased several times and he angrily said, “Are you stupid? If he really was Devil, would he let you tie him up?”

He was the Village Chief, and his prestige was very high. More than a dozen families and hundreds of people in the village respected him very much. Seeing that he was angry, they hurriedly urged Qiu Hu, “Qiu Hu, don’t make the Village Chief angry. Quickly release the guests. They definitely aren’t Devil, otherwise I would have killed you long ago!”

Qiu Hu became panicked. The villagers were furious. The village chief also glared at him angrily. How could he bear it? He hurriedly took off the scythe on his waist and cut the hemp rope.

Qin Fei smiled and said, “Everyone really misunderstood. I’m not Devil. I’m from a very far place. I’m only here to ask you about something. Have you ever heard of a person called Emperor Xuanling?”

“Emperor Xuanling? I’ve never heard of him. Who is he?” The village chief shook his head.

The other villagers were also puzzled. They had never heard of this name before and did not understand why Qin Fei was looking for this person.

“Is there a city nearby? A bigger city!” Qin Fei said.

“Three hundred miles to the east, there’s a city. It’s very lively. It’s the largest city we’ve ever seen. Perhaps you’ll find out where you went and ask about the person you’re talking about!” The village chief pointed in the direction.

“Three hundred li, not far!” Qin Fei heaved a sigh of relief. It was easy to do with a city. It was easier to get information in a crowded place. These villagers lived here for a long time and were isolated from the rest of the world.

“Alright, I’ll leave first. Take care!” As he spoke, he was about to leave.

“Guest, hold on!” Qiu Hu hurriedly shouted.

“Oh? Is there anything else?” Qin Fei turned around and looked at him. Qiu Hu’s simple and honest face was filled with apology. His hands that were holding the sickle loosened their grip from time to time, making him look very nervous.

“Well, guest, it’s Qiu Hu’s fault. He caused you inconvenience. Can you leave later and let me do something to compensate me for my disrespect to you earlier?” Qiu Hu whispered.

“No need, I still have something to do, so I won’t disturb you!” Qin Fei smiled.

“Where did you disturb me? It was all a misunderstanding earlier. If you don’t accept our apology, you will feel sorry for yourself. Guest, please stay here and accept our apology!” The village chief said excitedly.

Qin Fei saw that everyone was looking at him with resolute expressions, as if he would never give up if he didn’t accept the apology. He bitterly smiled and nodded. Alright, let’s eat their meal before leaving, so that they wouldn’t pester him endlessly.

Seeing him nod in agreement, the villagers were very happy. The village chief said that there was no need to eat at Qiu Hu’s house. He asked youth, who was supporting him, to immediately take out the treasures and roast them. He also took out the aged rice wine from the cellar. Today, he was going to treat Qin Fei.

“Village Chief, that rice wine of yours has been sealed for thirteen years. I have long wanted to drink a few mouthfuls of it. Can you let me go to your house for a drink? That way, I can accompany this guest!” Qiu Hu salivated when he heard the wine.

It wasn’t just him, many of the men around him were staring at the village chief with their eyes shining brightly. Obviously, they were all thinking about the rice wine.

“You guys, alright, everyone who drinks will come to my house to drink with our guests!” The Village Chief smiled.

“Let’s go, let’s go. Guests are invited. We’re going to the village chief’s house for a drink!” Qiu Hu hurriedly greeted Qin Fei.

Qin Fei had no choice but to follow everyone to the village chief’s house.

The Village Chief was the most prestigious person in the village, so the houses he cultivated in were naturally the best and the largest. In front of the house was a spacious courtyard. The two youth who supported him were his own grandsons. When they returned home, they politely placed three large round tables in the courtyard, put down long stools, and sat down, waiting for good wine to be served.

Taking advantage of the preparation time, the village chief inquired about Qin Fei’s situation.

Qin Fei naturally couldn’t say that they lived in a world created by cultivators, He randomly made up an excuse, saying that he came from a certain place. Naturally, the villagers at that place did not know about it. They just fooled around like this. As for the Emperor of the Profound Spirit, he said that he was an elder who had instructed him to go to the city. This time, he left his hometown for the sake of defecting.

“So that’s how it is. I really misunderstood you earlier. We thought you were a spy sent by Devil and wanted to attack our village!” Qiu Hu let out a long sigh of relief.

“Devil? Are you talking about the Nine Nether Hell Demon?” Qin Fei pretended to be curious.

“Isn’t it those fellows? I heard that Devil has already occupied the county. The people inside are treated as slaves by them. Our village has always been worried that these Devil will attack the village. That would be troublesome!” Qiu Hu said angrily.

‘”Qiu Hu is right. Our village may one day lose its life. I heard that there is a Devil on the other side of the mountain, destroying several large villages. Fortunately, our mountain is far away and isolated from the rest of the world. Devil will not be able to find this place in a short period of time, but the consequences are still not optimistic!” The village chief sighed.

When Qin Fei came down from the mountain, he naturally knew the terrain. The village was surrounded by mountains and the terrain was hidden. It was indeed a peach garden. However, this was not a long-term plan. The Nine Nether Hell Demons would eventually find this place. At that time, with their ordinary abilities, they would be unable to resist it.

“Didn’t you think of leaving this place and going to a more remote place?” Qin Fei asked doubtfully.

‘”Don’t leave! We’ve lived here for hundreds of years. One mountain, one river, one grass and one tree have already merged with our flesh and blood. Escaping is not a solution. Devil can come if he wants to. At worst, we’ll fight them. Anyway, we’re all rough men. We’ll make a profit if we fight to the death!” Qiu Hu said loudly.

Qin Fei didn’t say anything else, so how could his situation not be like this? The Central Plains was invaded by the Dark Devil. He could have taken everyone far from his hometown, but he did not do so. He did not even mention it because he knew very well that most people would not agree to do so. How could they abandon their birthplace? Many people, even if they died, would still die in the land that gave birth to them. This was not stupid, but a kind of temper, a kind of sense of belonging.

“Everyone, don’t worry. Devil won’t be able to live long. Someone will come and destroy them!” Qin Fei could only comfort everyone like this.

“Destroy Devil? Little brother, who can destroy them? Those flying immortals can’t defeat Devil. How can we ordinary people be their opponents? You don’t have to comfort us. We don’t have to worry about life, age, sickness, and death. We can eat, drink, and desperately fight when Devil comes. No one is afraid!” Qiu Hu said with a straightforward smile.
