Even so, everyone still feels very scared, afraid to approach.

Jian Yunchuan: "Stay away from these corpses!"

Now, no one dares not to listen to him anymore; they all run away.

They look in horror at the corpses on the ground, always feeling they will rise again, fear on every face.

"Now, what should we do?" stuttered the head of the Dafeng Village.

Jian Yunchuan: "These corpses have been invaded by evil energy; they must be burned as soon as possible."

Head of Dafeng Village: "Will it be fine if we burn them?"

Jian Yunchuan looks at him: "If we don't burn them, there will be trouble."

The head of Dafeng Village dare not insist, hurriedly instructs people to prepare firewood.

But just as everyone is busy preparing to burn those corpses, the Desert Leopard King growls again in the direction of the woods, looking somewhat anxious.

Jian Yunchuan immediately looks toward the woods, pupils shrinking.

The evil energy lingering in the woods hasn't dispersed, meaning there's still something there!

"Go back, immediately go back!" Jian Yunchuan shouts.

The people of Dafeng Village are puzzled, not understanding what happened.

River Cai curses and shouts, "If you don't want to die, go back quickly!"

"But those corpses haven't been burned..."

"Go back, there's something in the woods!"

He Cai had to make it clear; at this point, the people of Dafeng Village understood why they were told to go back, quickly screaming and running back.

The head of Dafeng Village and the witch doctor also staggered back.

By now, something had come out of the woods.

It was a tiger with three long tails trailing behind it. Its body was tall, at least twice the size of an ordinary savage tiger. Disturbingly, a tree branch had pierced its abdomen, and black blood dripped down, yet it seemed oblivious, its bloodthirsty eyes assessing Jian Yunchuan and the others.

"Ah!"

"Monster, it's a monster!"

"Run!"

The villagers of Dafeng Village, seeing this terrifying tiger, shouted even louder.

Stimulated by these voices, the tiger immediately roared and pounced towards them.

Jian Yunchuan, holding a spear, intercepted it. After a brief clash, the tiger's mouth was injured, blood flowing immediately. He felt a sinking feeling; this creature's strength surpassed his own, at least third tier.

The Desert Leopard King, seeing Jian Yunchuan injured, also rushed toward the tiger.

One person and one leopard temporarily blocked this evil-transformed monster.

By now, the villagers of Dafeng Village had run into the village. Someone shouted, "Quickly close the door!"

"No, the people from Yucun are still outside!"

"Forget about them, if we don't close the door, we'll be eaten by that monster!"

The villagers of Dafeng Village argued, some looking at the head of Dafeng Village. "Village head, quickly order the gate closed, or it'll be too late!"

The head of Dafeng Village hesitated; Jian Yunchuan and the others were still outside. Closing the door meant they couldn't come in, which seemed unkind.

"Ah! That monster bit the leopard!" someone exclaimed.

This made the villagers even more nervous. Seeing the situation, the head of Dafeng Village panicked and immediately said, "Close the door, quickly close the door!"

Yu Ye, witnessing Dafeng Village's people really closing the door, was furious.

"Don't close it!"

"Don't close the door; my father is still outside!"

Yu Zhou also shouted and rushed over, shoving the people closing the door.

"You little brat, seeking death!" The person from Dafeng Village rudely pushed Yu Zhou away.

"Yu Zhou!" Yu Ye caught Yu Zhou, angrily kicking the Dafeng Village villager out, "What are you doing!"

The caravan's people also quarreled with those from Dafeng Village.

"Don't close it. If you dare close the door, we, Yucun, will definitely level your village!"

"You outsiders from Yucun, we've already given you a place of refuge; you dare stop us from closing the door? If you hadn't been saved by Lord Yunchuan, you'd already be eaten! Shameless creatures!"

"Yu Zhou!"

Just as they argued, Yu Zhou, unnoticed by Yu Ye, ran out through the crack in the door. Yu Ye was shocked and quickly chased after.

Seeing this, the caravan's other members gritted their teeth, leaving harsh words for the people of Dafeng Village and also ran out.

They were from Yucun; they weren't cowards. Even if they had to die today, they would die together!

These despicable people from Dafeng Village could wait for them.

Even if they became ghosts, they wouldn't spare these scoundrels.

At this moment, Jian Yunchuan was also flicked by the tiger's tail. His back and the side of his waist were torn by the force, leaving deep bloodstains.

"Dad!" Yu Zhou immediately wanted to rush over.

Yu Ye, who had finally caught up, hugged Yu Zhou's waist. "Don't go over!"

"Wu wu, Dad, let go of me. I want to save my dad!"

"Lord Yunchuan will be fine." Yu Ye gritted his teeth. He handed Yu Zhou to others, took a weapon, and joined the fight.

"Roar!"

Surrounded by people, the tiger also went mad. After a roar, it pounced on He Cai, who currently had the lowest cultivation level.

Because of the previous battle, He Cai stood far away from the others. At this moment, others couldn't reach in time to help.

"Be careful!"

Just as everyone held their breath, three arrows of flames descended from the sky. With a whooshing sound, they pierced through the tiger's eyes and throat.

With a resounding boom, the flames engulfed the tiger, causing it to plummet from the sky.

After the initial shock, relief swept over the crowd as they looked up and saw Lu Yan descending from the heavens.

"Leader Lu!"

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Yan landed and nodded to the crowd before turning his gaze to the tiger.

Even after being enveloped in flames, the tiger, now on the ground, still struggled, attempting to attack again. However, it only took a few steps before being completely surrounded by flames, emitting a foul odor.

"Spread out," Lu Yan ordered.

Others immediately complied.

As they watched the tiger burn to ashes, the tension finally eased among the onlookers.

Lu Yan approached Jian Yunchuan.

"How are you?"

Jian Yunchuan grimaced, "Just a few injuries, nothing serious."

Lu Yan took out a medicine he carried and handed it to Jian Yunchuan. "Take a look at your leopard; it's been bitten."

The Desert Leopard King had a bite wound that was starting to darken.

Seeing Lu Yan approaching, it weakly howled.

Lu Yan first gave it an antidote, but it had limited effect. Even pills to replenish vitality only temporarily slowed the deterioration of its wound.

Jian Yunchuan said, "There's evil energy entwined around its wound; it needs to be dispelled first."

Lu Yan hadn't learned the art of dispelling evil, so they needed Vusun to do it.

"Where's Su'er? Did you see our eagle flying over?" Jian Yunchuan asked.

Lu Yan shook his head, "I saw the eagle on the way; I left before that."

Lu Yan explained the visit of the barbarian high priest and Vusun entering Deer God Mountain.

"He should be here soon."

Jian Yunchuan's expression became serious, "What's the matter with the Evil God?"

Lu Yan: "I'm not sure of the details; you'll have to ask Vusun."

After a brief conversation, when Lu Yan had inspected the bodies of the barbarian tribe that turned evil, Vusun arrived. Spotting Jian Yunchuan and the others, he flew down on his sword, landing and running over.

"Brother!" exclaimed Vusun.

Seeing Vusun's pale face, Yu Zhou's heart clenched. Vusun ruffled his hair.

"Injured?"

"Not me, it's Dad."

Vusun immediately went to Jian Yunchuan, "Let me see."

After examining Jian Yunchuan's injuries, Vusun frowned when he noticed the evil energy entwined around the wound. He immediately used a technique to dispel the evil, removing the sinister energy from Jian Yunchuan's wound.

Jian Yunchuan breathed a sigh of relief; he felt much better after the evil energy was removed.

"The leopard is injured too. Take a look at it."

Vusun turned to the Desert Leopard King, and others gathered around.

After the examination, Vusun also used the technique to dispel the evil energy from the leopard. However, the evil energy on the leopard was too heavy; Vusun had to repeat the process several times to completely cleanse it.

"It's done; it should be fine with some rest." Vusun said.

The Desert Leopard King let out a low howl, rubbing against Vusun's leg.

Vusun patted its head, rewarded it, then stood up and surveyed the surroundings. He noticed the bodies of the barbarian tribe that had turned evil, as well as a pile of ashes.

Jian Yunchuan briefly explained the situation.

Vusun's face darkened, and he coldly glanced in the direction of Dafeng Village.

"Yuye, Hecai."

"Here."

"You two handle the matters of Dafeng Village."

"Yes!"

Yuye and Hecai, who had been holding back their anger, immediately responded and, with their warriors, strode menacingly toward Dafeng Village.

Members of the caravan followed suit, their faces filled with anger.

They had warned that the people of Dafeng Village would pay a heavy price. They would not break their promis...

Vusun didn't bother with how Yuye and Hecai would deal with the people of Dafeng Village. Right now, Jian Yunchuan and the Leopard King were injured, and Yuzhou was frightened. He needed to take them back to the village.

"Su'er, about these bodies of the evilized barbarians..."

"Burn them."

After Vusun's words, Lu Yan raised his hand, and the bodies were engulfed in flames.

Jian Yunchuan: "I don't know how this evil phenomenon came about; it's too terrifying."

Vusun: "We'll investigate this matter. Lord Mountain God has also descended from the mountain."

Jian Yunchuan, surprised: "Lord Mountain God has descended?"

Vusun nodded: "Before I came, I visited Deer God Mountain. Lord Mountain God had already left the mountain to investigate this matter."

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have delayed for this period. If he had known that Jian Yunchuan and the others would encounter the evil, he would have come to rescue them no matter what.

He now regretted not learning divination. If he could also divine, he would have known earlier what was going to happen.

Lu Yan sensed his self-blame and spoke, "Take Jian's father and Yuzhou back to the village. I'll handle things here."

Vusun nodded, summoned his magic sword, and took Jian Yunchuan and Yuzhou back to the village.

After watching them leave, Lu Yan turned to look at Dafeng Village, coldness in his eyes.e.

The people of Dafeng Village, watching this scene from the door opening, trembled in fear.
