Chapter 880: Innate Demon Body, The Whole Village Surrenders

Many villagers still stared in bewilderment. Why had someone suddenly appeared demanding their allegiance?

Moreover, the entire village had hidden deep within the Demon Abyss. How had they been found? Had someone left clues behind during their last trip out?

And how could they trust that this person genuinely wanted to shelter them? What if he was merely luring them out to wipe them all out in one sweep?

The villagers had so many questions. They had been summoned without warning and confronted with this demand. How were they supposed to decide?

“May we ask which force stands behind you, young master? And how do you plan to shelter us?”

“How do we know you mean to protect us, rather than hand us in for a reward?”

“Where would you settle us?”

Puzzled villagers voiced their concerns directly.

“Young master, as you can see, we know very little about you. If you sincerely wish for our allegiance, please explain yourself so everyone can pledge their loyalty with peace of mind.”

The old village chief harbored the exact same doubts, but under duress, it was inappropriate for him to speak up personally. Since the villagers had brought it up, he seized the opportunity to chime in.

“First, you need not ask about my force. I can protect you if I say I can. Even Wind Moon Sect and Heavenly Fire Sect will not dare attack you. As for handing you in for credit, you think too much of yourselves. How many resources are your lives worth? I have no suitable place to put you, though. You are best off staying here.”

Seeing their collective curiosity, Qin Xiao offered a brief explanation.

Though Qin Xiao finished speaking, the villagers felt none the wiser. The only takeaway was that this person possessed a background far more formidable than both the Wind Moon Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect.
