"Qian Renyue, if you use sword energy again, I will seal your soul power." Chen Xin's stern voice sounded.

Qian Renyue lowered her head, took back the spirit of the Dragon Roar Divine Sword, and took back the soul guide Dragon Roar with some annoyance.

"I'm sorry, Master, I couldn't control it." Qian Renyue said in a low voice.

"I found that since you added the soul ring to the Dragon Song Divine Sword, you have become more and more dependent on the sword energy." Chen Xin said sharply. Seeing Qian Renyue's wilting look with her head lowered, she couldn't help but slow down her tone. , "You have also discovered that sword energy is not invincible, and it is not difficult to restrain it. It's not like you haven't suffered in this regard, right?"

"I understand, Master." Qian Renyue said quickly.

"Let's go back." Chen Xin retracted his hand and walked at the front.

"Coming, coming." Qian Renyue quickly followed.

After returning to the village, Qian Renyue skillfully took out the fish from the basket and went to the kitchen to cook. Chen Xin and Qian Renyue had been in this small village for two months. They were like an ordinary grandfather and grandson, working from sunrise to sunset every day.

The two of them live in a simple small courtyard, which is warm and comfortable.

Chen Xin even broke off the correspondence between Qian Renyue and Wuhundian. During the day, he took Qian Renyue out to look for food and trained Qian Renyue in swordsmanship. In the evening, we sit together and chat like other people in the village, exchanging food recipes.

Here, Qian Renyue forgot about the Divine Examination, Tang San, and all the trivial matters in the Spirit Hall. He only focused on practicing his sword, and his mind gradually became calmer.

Just as Qian Renyue was taking out the prepared fish and preparing to have a meal with Chen Xin, an aunt hurriedly ran into the courtyard.

"Yuebao, hurry up and go to the back mountain with your Uncle Fang and the others." As soon as the aunt entered the door, she took Qian Renyue's hand and wanted to take her away.

"Aunt Wang, what happened? Do you want to sit down and eat first? This is the fish I caught with my own hands today. It's delicious." Qian Renyue patted Aunt Wang's hand to signal her to calm down.

"Ouch, it's too late." Aunt Wang said hurriedly.

"What happened? I am the child's grandfather, so you have to tell me." Chen Xin stood up and said to Aunt Wang.

"Look at me, I'm so anxious that I'm confused." Aunt Wang patted her head, "Duke Hillebach came to arrest people again. In the past, everyone thought they could get a good job if they went there, but then It was discovered that the children who went to the Duke’s Palace never came back.”

"Has no one looked for it?" Qian Renyue asked in disbelief.

"Yes, how could it not be!" At this point, Aunt Wang wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and said with a choked voice, "My family followed people from the village to the Duke's Mansion for our daughter, and a total of thirteen people went there. , none of them came back alive.”

"Is there no one in charge?" Qian Renyue said angrily.

"How to take care of it? Who can take care of it? That bastard Duke is the maternal uncle of Prince Snow Star of the Tiandou Empire. A few years ago, Hillebach's men captured a Catwoman whose martial soul had mutated so that she could not release her martial soul form, and presented it to the prince. The prince immediately awarded him a title of duke, and from then on he became even more unscrupulous. Over the years, many beautiful boys and girls in his territory were kidnapped. "

"Haven't you ever thought about running away?" Qian Renyue asked.

"Escape? How could we escape? Our village no longer dares to have more children. The children who are born can only pray that their martial souls will have soul power when they awaken. As long as they do not waste their martial souls, they can become soul masters. I will protect them so that they can survive," Aunt Wang said helplessly.

"Then doesn't the Spirit Hall take care of it? Or those children who have become spirit masters?" Qian Renyue asked again.

“The Spirit Hall did try to intervene at the beginning, but in the end they could only save the two children with soul power. After all, this is an internal matter of Tiandou. The children who become soul masters do not have high talents, and the best ones are only soul masters now. Going for revenge will only lead to their deaths in vain.” Aunt Wang said helplessly.

"Silly boy, I've told you so much. It's getting late. Hurry up and follow your Uncle Fang and the others to the back mountain. There is a secret tunnel we dug in the back mountain. You can come back after the people they are searching for have left." With that said, Aunt Wang hurriedly went to hold Qian Renyue's hand.

"Master." Qian Renyue turned back to look at Chen Xin.

Chen Xin shook his head at himself and said to himself in a low voice: "Go to the back mountain first to see what's going on, and protect the children and villagers. I'm here."

Qian Renyue nodded and was led by Aunt Wang toward the back mountain.

Arriving at the back mountain, Qian Renyue discovered that there were several children hiding here, some she had seen in the village, and some she had never seen before. The kids I've seen are okay, but the kids I've never seen are not doing so well at this point.

Most of them have sallow faces and thin skin, and their hair is as dry as weeds that have not seen rain for a long time. There was thick mud on my hands and feet. Some of them looked at Qian Renyue with curiosity and scrutiny, while others looked at her with envy and jealousy. But there are still a few who have no emotion and are very numb.

Qian Renyue felt a little uncomfortable looking at these children who were suffering.

In her previous life, she grew up under a red flag and was born in the spring breeze. Even though he is an orphan, he can still live happily, go to school, have enough food and clothing. But these children in front of them are having such a difficult time just to survive.

Qian Renyue felt that she should do something, but she also felt that she could do nothing. She could not open her mouth to comfort everyone: "Don't be afraid, everyone will be fine this time."

Qian Renyue didn't understand, could they be more terrifying than the evil soul master? They are just a group of nobles with no ability.

While Qian Renyue was still observing carefully, a tall but thin man stepped forward and said to everyone: "Those beasts in the Duke's Palace seem to know that there are people hiding in the mountains behind us, and they have already taken them with them. We’re here to search the mountains. Let’s go quickly and go deeper into the mountains.”

The children who were sitting on the ground quickly stood up, extinguished the bonfire, and returned the place where they sat to look like no one was there. He also took out a big leaf like a banana fan from behind the tree and swept away everyone's footprints. I saw everyone retreating in a very orderly manner. It can be seen that this is not the first time that everyone has experienced this kind of thing.

Qian Renyue lowered her head. She was confident of keeping this group of people, so she wanted to see how far this rotten and dirty aristocracy could go.

After walking for a long time, Qian Renyue took the initiative to carry a little boy who had fallen several times in a row on her back. The weight of the little boy made Qian Renyue feel dazed for a moment, because the weight of the other person was not as heavy as her six-year-old weight training. Heavy. Qian Renyue's eyes couldn't help but feel moist. What on earth had they experienced?

After walking for a long time, more and more children could no longer hold on, but no one said they wanted to stop and rest. Maybe they also knew that if they stopped, the devil might catch up with them and they might die.

"The front is our hiding place this time. Everyone, hang on and you'll be able to rest soon." The leader encouraged.

With everyone's persistence, we finally came to a place where we could rest.

A little girl asked timidly: "Uncle, are we safe this time?"

"Of course! I've been waiting for you here for a long time." The little girl's answer was not her uncle's voice, but a joking male voice not far away.

For a time, many torches lit up the originally dark woods.
