When the innocent villagers, who were captured to be slave soldiers, were taken away from the battlefield, the people of Mang Village and Daji Village dared not make a sound, fearing that any carelessness would provoke a deadly rain of fire from Luyan.
After those people left, the people of both villages remained kneeling on the ground."
The two villages originally thought that by taking away those slaves, after agreeing to a ceasefire, Luyan would spare them. However, Luyan did not; he remained standing in the air, looking down at both sides.
"Now, you can have a good fight."
"What does that mean?"
People from both villages were bewildered.
Luyan: "Since your dispute arises from this unclaimed land, let's settle it today. Each side sends a thousand people, led by the village chief, to fight. The winner gets the land, and the losers leave their lives here."
What!
The village chiefs of Mang and Daji were shocked.
Daji Village Chief spoke hastily, "I'm willing to give up this land!"
Luyan: "It's not up to you anymore. Half an hour later, I want to see a thousand people from each side standing out. It starts now."
The Daji Village Chief wanted to say more but was stopped by the old witch doctor.
The old witch doctor whispered, "Village Chief, you just need to win against Mang Village."
Daji Village Chief was puzzled.
Mang Village also hesitated, but under the pressure from Luyan, they had no choice but to agree.
As Luyan descended from the sky, sitting on a horse with closed eyes, Mang Village people gathered nervously, looking at their chief.
"Chief, what should we do?"
Mang Village Chief's eyes were fierce, glancing at the direction of Yucun's cavalry, and said in a seemingly unnoticed tone, "Those people from Yucun are strange, damn it, killed hundreds of my people in one breath!"
"Chief, that's a god," someone said in fear.
Mang Village Chief sneered, "God? Haven't you heard? He's from Yucun, a subordinate of that Yucun witch doctor. He must have used some sorcery. Go, bring the witch doctor here and ask him what's going on!"
The witch doctor of Mang Village was still in the temporary camp and was puzzled when summoned. He didn't understand why they let the slave soldiers go.
"Witch Doctor, can you figure out the background of that person from Yucun?" Mang Village Chief pointed to Luyan, who was meditating on horseback.
The Mang Village witch doctor looked puzzled and turned to Luyan.
Mang Village witch doctor: "What's going on?"
Others informed him of the situation.
The Mang Village witch doctor looked more serious. Suddenly, he jumped up, then looked at Luyan.
At this moment, as Luyan, who had been meditating with closed eyes on horseback, suddenly turned to look at him, his eyes cold and sharp, like a knife.
The Mang Village witch doctor was startled, retreating repeatedly, almost falling.
"This person is a god of death, he must be killed!" The Mang Village witch doctor couldn't see through Luyan's details; he just sensed the threat from Luyan's eyes and felt that Luyan was extremely dangerous.
Others looked at him with strange expressions.
"Witch Doctor, with his powerful magic, how can we kill him?"
"Yes, Witch Doctor, only you can deal with him."
...
"Hmph."
In Yucun's cavalry, Yumeng suddenly sneered.
With his current cultivation, he could hear the movements on Mang Village's side that they thought no one could hear.
"Leader, they want to kill you," Yumeng said, enjoying the show.
Others showed expressions of speechlessness upon hearing this, looking at Mang Village's direction. Were those Mang Village people so eager to find a dead end?
At this moment, Luyan had continued to meditate. "Don't bother about them. If they dare to move and kill, that's it."
Yumeng became excited. "Leave it to me."
Yesterday, his muscles weren't warmed up, but today was a good opportunity.
Mang Village didn't know that their plan to pretend to approach and besiege Yucun's cavalry had been exposed.
"They're coming." Yumeng said excitedly.
A group of people came from Mang Village, led by the village chief and the witch doctor.
As they approached, wearing anxious expressions as if they were really afraid of Yucun's cavalry.
Yumeng sneered, whispering, "They're quite good at acting."
"If it weren't for hearing them planning how to pretend to get close and how to siege, I would have been deceived by their appearance."
"Noble lord, these are the one thousand warriors I have selected. Please review them." Mang Village Chief said, waving his hand. The one thousand warriors from Mang Village walked out, surrounding Yucun's team intentionally or unintentionally.
People from Daji Village, who saw this scene from a distance, were astonished.
Daji Village Chief: "What does Mang Village want to do?"
The old witch doctor squinted and said, "They want to kill the people from Yucun."
Daji Village Chief: "What should we do then?"
The old witch doctor stopped him and said sternly, "They are seeking death. Do you want to seek death with them?"
Yucun's leader possesses terrifying magical power, capable of taking the lives of hundreds in an instant. Only the fools from Mang Village believe that they can defeat Yucun's cavalry with a thousand people.
After the old witch doctor finished speaking, the one thousand Mang Village warriors surrounding Yucun's team also took action. They suddenly drew their curved knives and rushed toward Yucun's cavalry.
Yumeng sneered, and Yucun Shan jumped off the horse, shouting loudly, pouring his hands into the ground.
Several large walls of soil rose up, enclosing those Mang Village people.
Yumeng leaped onto the top of the wall, summoning wooden spikes and harvesting heads. With his dual earth and wood spiritual roots, he could control not only soil but also plants like Yusu.
The sharp wooden spikes pierced through the bodies of Mang Village warriors like blades.
The people of Mang Village were already scared by this sudden change.
"What is this thing!"
"Help, help!"
Mang Village Chief and the witch doctor were also trapped inside the earthen wall, unable to escape. Fear was written all over their faces.
"This is witchcraft, it must be witchcraft!" The terrified Mang Village witch doctor shouted.
"Witchcraft? This is the power bestowed upon us by the gods of Yucun." Yumeng looked down coldly at the Mang Village witch doctor inside the wall. "Your insight is too shallow. You don't need to shout out and let people grind your teeth into powder."
Yumeng stood on the top of the wall, looked around, and shouted, "We, Yucun, are blessed by the gods, possessing the power of the divine. Anyone who dares to make a move without following orders will meet the same fate as these one thousand people!"
The people of Mang Village and Daji Village looked at him in fear, trembling.
Yumeng was very satisfied with the effect he created, jumped off the wall, and said to Yucun Shan, "Dismantle the wall."
Yucun Shan nodded and dismantled the soil wall. The Mang Village people who hadn't died were terrified and scattered in all directions.
"What is this thing!"
"Help, help!"
Mang Village Chief and the witch
doctor were also trapped inside the earthen wall, unable to escape. Fear was written all over their faces.
"This is witchcraft, it must be witchcraft!" The terrified Mang Village witch doctor shouted.

Yumeng was very satisfied with the effect he created, jumped off the wall, and said to Yucun Shan, "Dismantle the wall."
Yucun Shan nodded and dismantled the soil wall. The Mang Village people who hadn't died were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Mang Village Chief and witch doctor couldn't run, their legs trembling.
Yumeng coldly watched them, "What, do you still want to spare your lives?"
"No, no, no, I'm leaving, right away!" Mang Village Chief forcefully supported himself, turned and ran, leaving the witch doctor behind.
Seeing this, the Mang Village witch doctor turned pale, bit his teeth, crawled up, and awkwardly returned to Mang Village's group.
Daji Village Chief wiped sweat, whispered to the old witch doctor, "Luckily, you stopped me."
Otherwise, he would be the one running away in embarrassment now.
At this moment, Luyan, sitting on horseback, opened his eyes coldly, "Half an hour has passed."
Hearing this, Daji Village Chief shivered, cold sweat on his back.
Daji Village's old witch doctor secretly advised, "Village Chief, this is your chance."
Daji Village Chief looked at him in confusion.
The old witch doctor's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Mang Village's people are too scared to even hold their knives. As long as you're more ruthless than them, you'll win."
Daji Village Chief suddenly realized. Yes, Mang Village's chief was so scared he could barely stand, and those Mang Village warriors all had weak legs. Now was the time to strike, not later.
He swept away the fear from a moment ago and shouted to over a thousand sturdy Daji Village warriors behind him, "Follow me, let's kill those Mang Village scoundrels together!"
Daji Village's one thousand warriors, following their chief, charged out.
Mang Village Chief, leading a thousand terrified warriors, watched the approaching Daji Village warriors, gritting their teeth to face them.
Unfortunately, their morale was already weak, and they had already lost the momentum before the battle began.
An hour later, Daji Village Chief, panting, looked at the corpses everywhere, revealing a smile—they had won!
Even Mang Village Chief, just now, was stabbed through by him and couldn't get up anymore.
Daji Village Chief, with bloodshot eyes, looked at the battlefield, but when he approached the edge where a cavalry team was, he had a fierce shiver and quickly calmed down.
He dropped his knife and walked over with his men.
"This esteemed sir, we won this battle."
Luyan opened his eyes, looked at him with indifference, "Since you've won, this unclaimed land belongs to Daji Village, and the battle between the two villages can end."
Daji Village Chief bowed deeply, "Thank you, sir."
Luyan: "I didn't help you, no need to thank me."
After saying that, Luyan grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and said to the people behind him, "Return to the village."
"Sir!" Daji Village Chief raised his head and called out to Luyan.
Luyan looked at him, "Is there anything else?"
Daji Village Chief met his gaze, shivered, and said, "Mang Village..."
"They have nothing to do with our Yucun Village."
Luyan finished speaking, urged his horse, and galloped towards the high ground to the west.
The two hundred cavalry also turned their horses and followed, heading towards the high ground.
Seemingly not planning to intervene any further.
Daji Village Chief was stunned.
On the other hand, Mang Village, one by one, breathed a sigh of relief. The Mang Village witch doctor even left without collecting the Mang Village Chief's body, quickly fleeing with his people.
Meanwhile, when Luyan led the two hundred cavalry to the high ground, the people from other villages all kneeled down.
"Esteemed sir, our villages have been destroyed, and we don't know where to survive. Can we, can we go back to Yucun Village with you?" The leading young man asked anxiously.
