Having subdued Chen Hu, Wang Chen turned to address the matter of the rescued villagers.
As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams there will be; Wang Chen couldn't possibly escort these people down the mountain, so he gave them two choices.
Either band together and head home on their own, or accompany him to the bandit-infested mine.
These villagers, captured by the bandits, were not entirely defenseless; some were martial artists, some were at the Shedding Mortality stage, and others possessed lower-tier Qi Cultivation Level.
Being locals, finding their way home would certainly be no problem for them.
In comparison, going to the mine with Wang Chen would be dangerous, so the majority chose to leave together.
Yet, a few villagers were willing to join Wang Chen and venture to the mine to slay the thieves.
Among them was Xu Laosi.
"Village head, sir."
