“You’re so poor, yet you still have the nerve to take us in.” Yao Ye snorted coldly.

……

Those people around who had prepared to come early in the morning to see what benefits the old man and his family had gained were stunned when they saw this!

They didn't expect to see this scene.

"Everyone, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not entertaining you well, but this is already the best thing my family can offer." The old man knew what Nangong Xi and the others meant as soon as he saw it, and said immediately with a bitter face.

"Well, we can't stay here anyway, bye." After saying that, Nangong Xi took out the airship and left with everyone.

After everyone left, everyone around looked at the three old men.

When the old man realized that everyone was looking at him, he collapsed to the ground.

"Grandpa, are you okay? Those brothers and sisters are so handsome, why are they so fierce?" Niu Niu also cooperated with red eyes.

Although she was young, she knew that Nangong Xi and the others did this to protect them.

"Old man, are you okay?" The old woman came out of the house and quickly helped the old man up.

After seeing this scene, everyone completely believed that the old man and his family not only got nothing but were also seriously frightened.

"Old man Yang, I think you should not pick up this thing randomly in the future. Be careful or you might lose your life next time." The old man next door looked gloating.

"I just thought that Niu Niu didn't have many toys, so I wanted to pick it up and use it as a toy for her. Who knew that this would happen?" The old man looked helpless.

“But judging from the way they are dressed, they either look rich or noble, so it’s normal for them to dislike our food.” The old woman sighed.

"But... the food grandma cooks is so delicious, why don't they like it?" Niu Niu looked confused.

When everyone saw that there was no fun to watch, they pretended to comfort the old man and the other two and then dispersed.

Naturally, some of the more cunning ones were skeptical and hid near Niu Niu's house for several days to observe them.

The old man was also a smart man. He lived his life as usual during the six months that Nangong Xi and the others were away.

Even when Nangong Xi and the others had just left, he still borrowed some food in the village.

Only then did those people completely dispel their doubts.

After Nangong Xi and his friends left Liurung Village, they headed towards Liuyang Empire.

On the flying boat.

“I wonder if those people were kept in the dark?” Nangong Man muttered.

"Don't worry, sister. The old man is a smart man and will be fine." Nangong Xi smiled.

Ever since she heard the old man say that even if the good cloth was given to them, they wouldn't be able to keep it, Nangong Xi knew that there were few good people in this village.

I guess those people bullied the old man because they saw there were only two old people and a child in his house.

When I came out and saw the greed flashing in the eyes of the onlookers, I knew that my judgment was correct.

When Nangong Xi saw the old man's very Niuniu reaction after she and Nangong Man cursed at each other, she felt relieved.

Although they are old and weak, their IQs are all high.

"I hope so. We give them good things to help them, but we don't want to harm them in the end." Nangong Man nodded.

As the airship flew along, Nangong Xi found that many places were unfamiliar.

"There is a small town ahead. Why don't we go there and ask for directions?" Yao Ye said, pointing ahead.

"Okay." Nangong Xi nodded and stopped the airship far away from the town.

After all, something like a flying ship would definitely cause a sensation in the small town.

It’s better to keep a low profile.

Nangong Xi and the others folded up the airship and headed towards the town.

When they arrived at the entrance of the town, Nangong Xi and his friends saw that it was bustling with people coming and going.

So they walked towards the town.

But they found that the people coming and going looked at them in a very strange way.

"Xixi, is there something wrong with this town? They are looking at us strangely." Nangong Xi said close to Nangong Xi's ear.

"Girls, are you from other places?" An old man who looked very kind pulled them aside and asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Nangong Xi nodded.

"This town is not a good place to go. You should turn around and leave immediately." The old man said with a serious face.

"Why?" Nangong Man asked curiously.

"Let's leave first." The old man looked in one direction anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xi and the others nodded and immediately turned around and wanted to leave the town.

"It's too late." The old man looked towards the exit with a very grim expression.

"Isn't this exit still open?" Nangong Xi was very puzzled.

As soon as Nangong Xi finished speaking, a group of masked men in black fell from the sky.

"Heisan, you broke the rules and should be cut into pieces." The leading man in black looked at the old man coldly.

"Chief Hu, they are just passing by. Besides, they haven't received the baptism of the sacrificial light yet, so it's okay for them to leave." The old man looked at the leading man in black and said.

"Don't you have any idea how many passers-by you have let go over the years?" the Hu leader said in a very cold tone.

"They are innocent." The old man said when he heard it.

"But it is because you let those people go that we are trapped here day after day and unable to leave." Chief Hu's tone became even colder.

"Sorry." The old man felt very sorry when he heard that.

"Sorry? What's the use of sorry?" Chief Hu roared angrily.

"Chief Hu, I am willing to be punished. Please do me a favor for the last time and let them go." The old man pointed at Nangong Xi and the others and pleaded.

"Impossible." Chief Hu refused directly.

Nangong Xi: ...

What's going on in this town?

It looks bustling with people coming and going, but in fact it seems like a cannibalistic town.

"Girls, I'm sorry, I can't save you." The old man looked at Nangong Xi and the others with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"Uncle, where exactly is this place?" Nangong Xi was very curious.

"This place is called the Sacrifice Town, also known as the Death Town. Once you come in, you can't escape." The old man explained.

"Stop talking nonsense and follow us." Chief Hu looked impatient.

For him, there was no need for Nangong Xi and other dying people to know so much.

"Then who are they?" Nangong Xi ignored Chief Hu and pointed at a row of men in black and looked at the old man.

"We are all the guardians of the sacrificial town. We are responsible for sending the people to be sacrificed to the altar." The old man said honestly.

"If that's the case, why did you save us?" Nangong Xi looked puzzled.

"He not only saves you, he saves everyone who accidentally comes here." Chief Hu said unhappily.

"You can't leave?" Nangong Xi asked again.

"The altar has not been filled with blood yet, so we can't get rid of it." The old man nodded.

"In that case, let's just destroy the altar." Nangong Xi said.

“Destroyed the altar?” All the town guards present were stunned upon hearing this.
