Chapter 347: Paid the Price

Moreover, the demonic Qi that the villagers cultivated for a long time had already invaded their bodies. So she had to think of a way to help the villagers clean up the demonic Qi in their bodies. Only then would they not be troubled by the demonic Qi in the future and continue cultivating.

Audrey released a stream of battle Qi and trapped Felt within it. Only then did she walk toward the villagers with a sharp voice, “It is everyone’s wish to become strong. However, if one doesn’t distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, it is meaningless even if one becomes strong! You all trained in Dou Qi in the past, and now you’re training in demonic Qi. However, you don’t even know it. It’s a waste of our efforts.”

“If everyone only wants to become stronger and doesn’t even want to be safe, then please do as you please. I can assure you that in less than ten days, half of you will explode and die!”

After saying that, Audrey cast away her expression, turned around, and left with Felt.

The villagers who remained at the same spot looked at each other. Some of the cowards seemed to have already mentally felt that the power in their bodies was out of control.

However, this was just Audrey’s trick. Although the villagers wanted to become stronger, everyone was afraid.

She had used this mentality to cast an illusion spell on the villagers.

The other members of the Dragon Slaying Squad also left one after another. Finally, everyone returned to the Elder’s ice room. Audrey tied the Elder up and continued to interrogate him.

“What’s your relationship with those people?”

“Nothing,” the Elder said indifferently. Audrey’s eyes darkened as she snorted coldly, “Since you don’t want to talk about it, let’s have a taste of something interesting.”

Audrey conjured a feather out of nowhere and cast a spell as she spoke, causing the feather to scratch at the bottom of the Elder’s feet.

At first, the Elder could barely endure it, but as time went on, he lost control.

“Let go of me!” Felt shouted sternly.

Audrey snorted coldly before stopping. She looked at Felt with a meaningful look. The faint smile on her lips made her feel even more unwilling, but she had no choice but to lower her head.

“Is what you said about exploding in ten days true?” Felt asked cautiously.

Audrey was slightly stunned, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

“Of course. In the past, when you cultivated, there was a mysterious person to guide you. However, if you cultivate demonic Qi on your own, you don’t understand it. There’s a risk of exploding at any time,” Audrey said casually.

This was equivalent to Qi deviation. She was exaggerating. Her goal was naturally to make the villagers feel afraid and sleep naturally.

“You’ve been cultivating demonic Qi for the longest time. The demonic Qi has long fused with you,” Audrey continued, as though she was trying to scare him. However, Felt was filled with worry, so he did not have the time to notice this.

After thinking for a moment, Felt asked, “Do you have any ideas?”

Although he wanted to become firm, he would not risk his life.

“Of course, I have ideas. But, of course, it depends on whether the Elder is willing to cooperate or not.” Audrey chuckled, seeing that the fish had taken the bait, and a crafty look flashed in her eyes.

Felt did not plan on betraying the mysterious person, but now, in order to protect himself, he had no choice but to do so.

“Elder, why don’t you tell me first, what exactly is going on with the mysterious man?” Audrey looked down at Felt, her voice cold and filled with a questioning aura.

Felt was nervous for a moment, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. In the end, he sighed and explained everything clearly, “A few months ago, the mysterious man came to me and said that he could turn me into a strong warrior, but the premise was that I had to obey their every word. At that time, I agreed.”

Having said that, Felt lowered his head, as though he was reflecting on something.

“So everything that happened after that, including the matter with the blazing beast, was planned by you?” Audrey thought for a moment and asked with a frown.

“So what if it was? It’s the blazing beast’s fault for not listening to me,” Felt snorted coldly and said unhappily.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Audrey’s eyes. It seemed like she had misunderstood the blazing beast. Fortunately, she had not attacked it at that time and had chosen to discuss it.

“The entire village will pay for your wavering and mistakes,” Audrey said coldly with a sharp tone.

At this moment, Felt seemed to have realized his mistake. He lowered his head regretfully and narrowed his eyes. “I… It’s my fault, but I only want to become stronger. I want the villagers to become stronger. What’s wrong with me?”

“Your original intention was correct, but unfortunately, you took the wrong path.” Audrey frowned and said regretfully, “Since it’s your fault, you should pay the price.”

“What price?” Felt’s expression tensed.

Audrey thought for a moment and said, “You absorb all the demonic Qi from the villagers. I’ll give you a purifying pearl. In the years to come, you can purify all the demonic Qi in your body to atone for your sins.”

Hearing this, Felt’s face turned ashen. Audrey’s words were equivalent to sentencing him to life imprisonment, so he could only do this.

Helpless, Felt could only agree.

After the matter was settled smoothly, Audrey revealed a gratified smile and returned to her teammates.

“Audrey, how’s the matter?” Klein immediately asked with concern.

“It’s settled.” Audrey nodded, the corners of her lips curving up slightly.

They only needed to wait a few days before they could leave this place.

“Sure enough, with you taking action, there’s nothing that can’t be settled.” Beside them, Cole smiled jokingly, his eyes filled with admiration.

Audrey could not help but laugh, but she did not say anything else.

A few days later, the villagers were still standing guard near the ice platform, but their attitudes had softened a lot. There were even quite a few people standing guard here, hoping that Audrey could help them deal with the demonic Qi.
