Chapter 1461: Return, I’ll Lend You My Strength (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Dong family’s knights had driven everyone in Boundary Bridge Village to Peng Jiuyuan’s house.

The knight from before had already flattened Peng Jiuyuan’s wooden house, so more than a hundred people had room to stand.

Seven or eight knights with their mutated beasts guarded the four directions, while the one or two hundred people in Boundary Bridge Village gathered in the middle like cattle waiting to be slaughtered. No one dared to resist.

They were powerless to resist as well.

This was because, just now, a few young and impetuous villagers were unwilling to be at the mercy of others. In the end, these knights killed them.

Their corpses were still nailed to trees in the distance, and their blood was flowing into a small river.

“Lord, our Boundary Bridge Village is loyal and devoted to the head family. We have never done anything to let our family down. Please understand.” The village chief of Border Bridge Village was supported by a few people as he begged the leader of the knights.

The leading knight was expressionless. He looked at Peng Jiuyuan and said coldly, “There’s still thirty breaths. If I don’t see Cao Shu by the end of thirty breaths, then you can die.”

As he spoke, the surrounding knights raised their spears.

There was no pity in their eyes. It was as if the people about to die under their spears were not part of their family.

“Peng Jiuyuan! Why are you hesitating?! Tell us Cao Shu’s whereabouts!” Dong

Ergou shouted. “Do you really want us all to die?”

Dong Ergou was really afraid.

He had only gone to snitch because of the rewards. He didn’t expect these Dong

family knights to be so cruel that they even killed the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village.

He was afraid that these knights would go crazy and kill him too.

“I…” Peng Jiuyuan protected Cao Yue, his face full of struggle.

On one side was the Peng family’s ancestral teachings, and on the other was the mountain village where he had lived for decades.

“Lord, Cao Shu did stay in our village, but we really don’t know who he is. He has already left this place, and we don’t know where he went.”

The one who spoke was the village chief of Boundary Bridge Village.

It had to be said that this village chief was a very responsible person. Even though he was seriously injured, he stood in front of all the villagers and mustered his courage to negotiate with the Dong family’s knights.

“Ten!”

“Nine!”

The leader of the knights ignored the village chief.

To him, the village chief of Boundary Bridge Village was just an insignificant figure.

In his eyes, all the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village were no different from ants.

In order to achieve their goal, they wouldn’t mind killing everyone in Boundary Bridge Village.

“Village Chief!”

All the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village looked at the village chief in horror.

There were also a few people who stared at Peng Jiuyuan.

“Uncle Peng…” A trace of confusion flashed across Cao Yue’s eyes. His age and experience were not enough for him to figure out what to do.

Peng Jiuyuan gritted his teeth, his face full of struggle.

“Three!”

“Two!”

The spears in the hands of the knights had already begun to glow.

With their strength, once they attacked, they would skewer these villagers like candied hawthorns. No one would be able to escape.

Peng Jiuyuan finally broke down and shouted, “Stop! I’ll tell you!”

Tears were streaming down his face.

Peng Jiuyuan fell to his knees and cried bitterly. “Ancestors of the Peng family, your unfilial descendant, Peng Jiuyuan, is going to do something to let you down today!”

Peng Jiuyuan pointed at a mountain in the distance and said loudly, “Cao Shu is on that mountain. Just follow the mountain path, and you’ll find him!

“Kill me if you want to kill anyone. I brought Cao Shu back. It has nothing to do with them. None of them know who Cao Shu is, and they’ve never come into contact with him!”

Peng Jiuyuan puffed out his chest and rushed toward a knight’s spear.

Bang!

The knight’s spear shook, and a ray of light bounced Peng Jiuyuan’s body away. “You want to die?” The knight snorted. “You can only die if I tell you to. When I don’t, you can’t die even if you want to.”

He flicked his spear, and a light swept up Peng Jiuyuan onto the back of a mutated beast. “Lead the way.”

Peng Jiuyuan wanted to struggle, but the light was like a rope wrapping around him tightly, preventing him from breaking free.

“Uncle Peng!” Cao Yue shouted anxiously and rushed forward.

The village chief reached out and grabbed Cao Yue to drag him back tightly.

“Little Yue, don’t be rash!” the village chief shouted.

The knight looked askance at them and smiled coldly. “They’re useless now.

Kill them all.”

He said it casually, as if he just wanted to kill a bunch of chickens and ducks.

“Lord, I’m with you. I was the one who told you that Cao Shu was here. I brought you here!” Dong Ergou shouted. He was really flustered. “Lord, I don’t want the reward anymore. I don’t want it anymore. I don’t want to die.” Swish!

Before Dong Ergou could finish speaking, a spearhead had already pierced through his chest.

“Noisy!” a knight said coldly. His cold gaze swept across the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village.

The villagers looked at Dong Ergou lying in a pool of blood, their faces full of fear.

They no longer cared about scolding Dong Ergou in their hearts. Instead, they all looked at the village chief in panic.

“Village Chief, what should we do? Hurry up and think of something..”
