Apology

The bishop struck out without warning, attacking the young man who had spoken so brazenly at lightning speed. In a blink of an eye, the young man suddenly vomited blood and his face turned ugly.

This consequently unleashed the Wolf Village's chief's anger as well. "How dare you!" He had not expected the Outsiders to attack before speaking.

How could he tolerate such impudence?! He waved his hand angrily and the villagers of Wolf Village surrounded the Outsiders.

The bishop glanced at the young man he had attacked and raised his eyebrows slightly. Hmph, he might not have killed the young man yet, but he would turn cold eventually.

The bishop looked at the people of Wolf Village and signaled to his people with his eyes. Without any further hesitation, the Outsiders attacked.

"Kill them or leave them alive. It's up to you," said the bishop as he ordered in a low voice.

The other members of Martial Soul Hall who had been tormented in Stone Village were happy to hear that. They finally had an outlet to vent too as they immediately locked onto the villagers of Wolf Village.

The latter also did not know what was happening and why. But when they saw the Outsiders attacking them, they had to defend themselves.

Despite the silence of the night, Wolf Village was especially rowdy with the sound of a fight breaking out.

The people from the other villages looked at each other, dumbfounded. What just happened? Why did the two parties suddenly start fighting?

Some of them felt that the situation was a bit off so they decided to leave.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The fight might have been chaotic but it lasted only for a short while. The outcome was decided in an instant.

The people of Wolf Village had been defeated and captured alive by the Outsiders from Martial Soul Hall. The same fate landed upon the other village's people who had decided to help their Wolf Village allies. Only the people of Sand Eagle Tribe didn't make a move because they were responsible for the Martial Soul Hall group's children

Those who insisted on resisting ended up getting killed by the bishop and his men.

The cold corpses leaked an eye-catching red liquid, staining the land of Wolf Village bit by bit.

Night eventually turned to day as the sky started to brighten.

The people of Martial Soul Hall had just finished the battle and had yet to recover their energy. They dragged the people of Wolf Village and the other tribes to Stone Village. They planned to apologize to Stone Village as soon as possible.

Just when the residents of Stone Village had woken up and started to work on rebuilding their homes, they noticed the people from Martial Soul Hall in the distance. They seemed to have a few people in captivity and were headed straight for their village.

"Village Chief, the Outsiders from yesterday have returned. The group they have restrained seems to be from Wolf Village." Huang Linhu was the first to report to the village chief.

And apparently, it wasn't just the people from Wolf Village that were being brought to Stone Village. Those from the other tribes were brought along as well, and these people were dumbfounded. A fight and a night had passed and they still had no clue as to why they had been put in this situation.

They questioned their captors but unfortunately, the Outsiders were very good at keeping their mouths shut. They only said that they were going to Stone Village to apologize.

The bishop and the rest did not care about what these people thought. They arrived at the village entrance and quickly reported their purpose.

"Village Chief, these were the ones who told us that the people of Stone Village brutally massacred the cultivators of other tribes. This particular person also told us that Stone Village hid many magical treasures. We have basically brought everyone to you. How do you want to settle this?" The bishop looked quite eager to please.

But before the Stone Village's chief could reply, the Wolf Village's chief shouted angrily despite his sorry state. "Huang Yunfeng, what kind of f*cking method did you use to make Outsiders obey your orders?!"

Huang Yunfeng could not tolerate such an insult and angrily said, "Why don't you ask yourself this question? Do you still have the cheek to question me? You were the ones who spouted nonsense and ruined the reputation of our village. What is your purpose?"

"What do you mean? What I said is the truth. Weren't they really killed by Stone Village?" The Wolf Village's chief insisted.

"Gosh, why are you shouting? Explain yourself properly." The bishop was annoyed by the Wolf Village's chief's behavior and kicked him.

The Wolf Village's chief staggered and fell to the side, obviously angry. He was the Wolf Village's chief after all. How could he stand to be stepped on like this?

"So... our people that had been sent to the depths of the forest were not killed by Stone Village?" The people from the other tribes had heard enough to start having doubts about what they've been told before.

'F*ck, if they knew the truth...'

The Wolf Village's chief was really starting to regret his actions.

"What do you mean we killed them? It was Suan Ni that caused the tide of desolate beasts and killed the people you sent. We didn't do anything." Huang Feijiao rolled his eyes angrily as he explained the truth of the situation.

And with that, the people from the other villages became all smiles.

"Great, so we have simply misunderstood Stone Village. Can someone please ask these Outsiders to release us, then? We would like to leave and promise to leave Stone Village alone, now and forever. How does that sound?"

"That's right, that's right. Wolf Village was the one who instigated everything anyway. They lied to us and said that you killed our villagers." The others echoed.

The Wolf Village chief's tone changed when he heard the majority's sentiments. But rather than feel guilty, he only became angrier. He was not willing to go down alone.

"Heh, you guys are really cunning. Didn't you also agree to my plan because you wanted to covet the weapons and treasures of Stone Village as well?"

When the Stone Village's chief heard of this, he too became angry.

He looked at the seven or eight people being restrained by the Outsiders and clenched his fists in hatred.

"Who else was involved in what you planned, excluding all of you?" asked the Stone Village's chief coldly with eyes filled with impending violence.

The people of Stone Village knew from the tone of his voice that he now had the intention to kill the people before them.

Only the chief of Wolf Village did not reply as the rest eagerly tried to make amends. "We had never thought of attacking Stone Village. Wolf Village was the one who invited us to the discussion and we only sent our representatives to participate. Don't worry, we didn't let it spread too far."

"F*ck! Don't speak if you have brains!" The Wolf Village's chief shouted at the others.

He knew why Huang Yunfeng asked this question - It was to identify everyone who wanted to attack them so that he could finish them off.

"Oh? Do you know of more people who were in on this?" Huang Yunfeng coldly stared at the Wolf Village's chief.

They had to die!

"No! I don't know anything! I swear! Everything that was said were just mere deductions!" The Wolf Village's chief was starting to get scared.

However, Huang Yunfeng was not in the mood to listen to their explanations. Now that the conspirators had been captured by the Outsiders, there was no need to waste time talking to them.

The Stone Village's chief glanced at the bishop and his people. "Kill them all. Do not leave any survivors," said he coldly, his expression unperturbed.

The people of Stone Village might be honest and simple-minded, but they were no saints. Huang Yunfeng was no different. Everyone had their principles to uphold.

These people deserved to die. Even if most of them had been roped in because of Wolf Village to get revenge, none of them could be forgiven for wanting to also go after Stone Village's ancestral artifacts.
