Upon hearing Antonio’s call, the villagers of Rock Village quickly gathered their stools and rushed out. They then found an open space and sat down.
Every one of them was holding snacks, presenting a scene of eager anticipation for some entertainment!
“You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for quite a while. I thought you weren’t going to show up!”
“Exactly! This time, your Demon Seal Alliance needs to last a bit longer. Otherwise, we won’t even get to enjoy the show before there’s nothing left to see!”
“Remember to speak up! If you have something to say, say it now, or else you won’t even get a chance to talk!”
The villagers were addressing Talcott and his companions.
Talcott was staring at the scene unfolding before him, utterly bewildered, not understanding a word the villagers were saying.
He was even more puzzled as to why these villagers weren’t afraid of him.
He was, after all, the leader of the Demon Seal Alliance!
“W-What are you doing? I am, after all, the leader of the Demon Seal Alliance! Do you guys understand what that means? It means I’m the top fighter of the Demon Seal Alliance, the most impressive one!” Talcott shouted at the multitude of villagers.
The elderly Antonio patted Talcott’s shoulder and said, “No need to shout, we get it, we all get it. We know you’re the most formidable in the Demon Seal Alliance. Later on, you better put up a good fight and withstand at least two blows. Don’t embarrass the Demon Seal Alliance. Give us a show to enjoy!”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘withstand at least two blows’? Does your village harbor a Demonic Cultivator? Tell him to show himself and meet his end!”
Talcott abruptly pushed the elderly village chief away, a look of fury on his face as he spoke!
“Yes, yes, we indeed have a Demonic Cultivator in our village!” Antonio nodded in confirmation.
“Let me go call Grandma. She’s a Demonic Cultivator!”
Emily quickly got up and rushed off to call for Ira.
Talcott was utterly baffled at what was happening. Had the people of Rock Village all lost their minds?
“Mr. Lefterov, why does it feel like the villagers here are… a little off?”
Standing beside Talcott, the elder also expressed his confusion with a puzzled look on his face.
“Forget about it. As soon as that Demonic Cultivator shows up, we strike immediately. We need to fight quickly and decisively. I’ve got a strange feeling about this place!”
At this moment, Talcott felt somewhat restless, as if something was about to happen.
Soon, Emily returned with Ira.
Upon seeing the individuals from the Demon Seal Alliance, the elderly woman’s face lit up with excitement. “Ah, you’ve finally arrived! I am a Demonic Cultivator; are you here to capture me?”
Talcott took a careful look at the old woman. As expected, he sensed the aura of a Demonic Cultivator from her. Thus, he asked with heightened caution, “Since you’re a Demonic Cultivator and know that we’re here to capture you, why didn’t you run?”
“Why would I run?” Ira was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, “Just make
sure you all don’t run off later!”
“What are you implying?” Talcott asked.
“Mr. Lefterov, why bother wasting words on her? Just grab her and we’ll figure things out later. She isn’t that tough!”
As the elder spoke, he readied himself to take action against Ira.
Talcott, however, abruptly halted the elder.
“Calm down. Something doesn’t feel right. The more they behave this way, the more suspicious I am.”
“Mr. Lefterov, what could possibly go wrong? These people are so weak I could wipe them out with a single strike. There’s absolutely no need for any concern!” the elder replied arrogantly.
“Let’s have someone test the waters first!” At that moment, Talcott was being extremely cautious.
Upon hearing this, the elder turned around and pointed to the first cultivator who had entered Rock Village earlier. “Go, bring that Demonic Cultivator here!”
The cultivator paused, his face full of reluctance, yet he was left with no other choice.
“F*ck you!”
This time, the cultivator’s voice was louder, enough for the elder to hear.
The elder’s face flushed with anger, but he didn’t make a fuss about it. He would deal with the man after they had captured Ira.
The aura of the cultivator enveloped him as he steadily approached Ira.
Given the strength of this cultivator, even ten elderly women wouldn’t stand a chance against him!
But now, the cultivator was extremely frightened as he inched closer to the old woman.
“Are all of you from the Demon Seal Alliance this cowardly?” Ira began to mock the cultivator.
