Section 027 The formation is still intact
Aunt Li covered her face, looking at Li Tie in disbelief.
Li Tie pointed at Aunt Li's nose and cursed, "Stop gossiping! Let me tell you, Erzhu killed this man-eating tiger, Erzhu killed this demon who wanted to massacre the village, Erzhu saved all our lives, and yet you want to marry Erzhu's sister to a decrepit old man? Have you lost your mind?!"
Aunt Li was so scolded that she didn't dare to say a word.
When Li Tie turned to look at Zhou Yunshen, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Erzhu, don't listen to her nonsense. I'm not familiar with her. Although we are related, we hardly ever speak to each other all year round."
Zhou Yun Shen nodded, his face expressionless, and said, "Let her go. I don't want to see her again."
Upon hearing this, Li Tie glared fiercely at Aunt Li and said, "Didn't you hear me? Get out of here right now!"
Aunt Li covered her face, lowered her head, and left somewhat dazed amidst the pointing and whispering of those around her.
At the edge of the crowd, an elderly man with graying hair saw this scene and shrank back in fright, his face turning pale.
Zhou Yun Shen looked down at Zhou Xiao Ya and saw that she was keeping her head down and not saying anything, but biting her lips tightly. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said softly, "It's okay. With your second brother here, your leg injury will be healed sooner or later."
Zhou Xiaoya didn't speak, but after a few seconds, she nodded almost imperceptibly.
Just then, someone outside the crowd shouted, "Captain Chen, Captain Chen is coming!"
Zhou Yunshen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Captain Chen, his face pale, carrying a knife and walking towards them with a solemn expression.
His arm was bandaged at the cut, and the cloth was seeping out crimson blood, but it had stopped bleeding.
"Captain Chen."
"Captain Chen."
Everyone greeted him, and wherever Captain Chen went, those in front hurriedly moved aside.
This demonstrates the extent of Captain Chen's prestige in the village.
Captain Chen walked forward with a tense expression. Only when he reached Zhou Yunshen did his expression change. He said to Zhou Yunshen, "Erzhu, the formation is still there. I tried to cut it a few times with my knife, but I couldn't break it at all. Erzhu, what do you think we should do?"
He wasn't speaking to Zhou Yunshen in a consultative tone, but rather in a tone of seeking instructions.
After this battle, not only did the few hunters who survived develop a sense of awe towards Zhou Yunshen, but Captain Chen also consciously lowered his posture in front of Zhou Yunshen.
Unbeknownst to many, Zhou Yunshen had become the backbone of this remote mountain village.
After hearing Captain Chen's words, Zhou Yunshen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
The cultivators were killed, and their spirit pets were also killed. However, the cultivators' formation still existed and remained unbreakable, trapping them within a radius of several hundred meters.
This was something Zhou Yunshen hadn't anticipated.
At this moment, Captain Chen was looking at Zhou Yunshen, as were Li Tie, Wang Dashi, and several other martial arts-level hunters, and everyone else was also looking at Zhou Yunshen.
Zhou Yunshen frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Everyone, attack this formation. Use whatever you have at hand to attack the same spot together and see if you can break it."
Captain Chen nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's what I think too. There's strength in numbers. Maybe if we work together, we can break this formation."
Zhou Yunshen hummed in agreement and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll rest for a bit and come back later when I've recovered."
"Okay." Captain Chen nodded and immediately raised his voice, calling for everyone to attack the formation together.
At this moment, there were more than four hundred villagers trapped in the formation. The combined power of so many people attacking the same place should not be underestimated.
After everyone left, only Zhou Xiaoya remained.
Zhou Yunshen didn't say anything about it. He sat down on the ground, resting while thinking about some things.
Zhou Xiaoya sat down next to him, just watching him think without saying a word.
Zhou Yunshen remembered that before the cultivator died, he said that he was the young master of the Qin family in Xiyun County, and that if he was killed, the Qin family would definitely come to avenge him and slaughter the entire village.
He knew nothing about the Qin family in Xiyun County.
But one can imagine that the Qin family is an absolute behemoth in Dazhu Village.
Dazhu Village is too small and too weak; it can't compare to the Qin family in this county town at all.
Putting everything else aside, a young upstart with a spirit pet almost wiped out the entire Dazhu Village.
If he hadn't happened to be born in Dazhu Village, the entire village would have become food for that vicious tiger.
"This cultivator from the Qin family tricked the village chief into gathering everyone here. It seems his formation has a limited range, only covering this area and not the entire village."
"The reason for setting up this formation is to prevent the villagers from escaping. This way, we can leave more food for the spirit pets to help them evolve, and we can also prevent the villagers from leaking the news if they escape."
"As long as the massacre of a village doesn't leak out, nothing will happen. No one will care about the demise of such a remote little mountain village..." Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshen felt a chill in his heart and gained a new understanding of the cruelty of this cultivation world.
Perhaps to the cultivators of this world, ordinary people's lives are as worthless as grass, only fit to be food for spirit pets.
The Qin family cultivator he had just killed looked quite young. If someone so young could be so indifferent to the lives of ordinary people, Zhou Yun Shen couldn't imagine what an old monster who had cultivated for many years would be like…
"If the Qin family is a legendary cultivation family, then they should have things like soul lamps and soul tablets, right?"
"If these things truly exist, then wouldn't the Qin family already know about this cultivator's death?"
"Could it be that after beating the younger one, the older one will come?" Zhou Yun Shen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at the thought!
If that's the case, what should he do?
Zhou Yunshen felt bitter.
He never imagined that his journey in the world of cultivation would be so difficult and tortuous.
A noisy shouting sound came from afar.
This is a group of villagers gathered together, attacking the formation.
Zhou Yunshen looked up at the sky and saw that the pale white light screen hanging above his head was still stable. Clearly, even if everyone in the village were gathered together, breaking this formation would be a very difficult task.
Zhou Yunshen's face darkened. He struggled to his feet and walked toward the corpse of the cultivator not far away.
Zhou Xiaoya also quickly stood up and followed Zhou Yunshen with a limp.
"Second Brother..." Zhou Xiaoya called out from behind as Zhou Yunshen continued walking toward the mangled corpse.
Zhou Yunshen did not answer. He went straight to the corpse, squatted down, and forced himself to search the body while vomiting.
The villagers knew nothing about formations.
He had read some cultivation novels and had some understanding of the formations in the cultivation world.
A formation should have something like formation flags and formation eyes, and perhaps also a token to control the formation.
He was currently searching through the body for these items.
