Chapter 1104

And with things having reached this point, the village chief had nothing left to hide and could only tell Chen Ang about the general situation.

"Haven't you always wanted to know about the barrier? Although I cannot tell you too much, you already know the function of this barrier; its purpose is to suppress the Demon Emperor. That fellow's power is extraordinary, and it took the gathering of several tribes back then to imprison that thing underground."

"And in order to repair this barrier, my wife sacrificed her own life, which is why I am willing to stay in this place forever."

When he said this, there were visible tears in the village chief's eyes, and seeing him like this, Chen Ang also felt a sense of unbearable sympathy in his heart.

"This matter is indeed quite complex, but I probably don't need to know the details inside. Just tell me, what can I do now, and is there any way I can help?"

Chen Ang was not a pretentious person, and naturally, he didn't want to bring any personal emotions into this matter.

What he wanted was very simple: to resolve the matter here and then leave without any burden. He also had important things that needed to be resolved, and he believed these people should be able to understand his difficulties.

Regarding Chen Ang's words, the village chief was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected that the other party would be completely uninterested in his affairs. He didn't intend to say more, just gave an awkward cough and continued: "The reason I am looking for you is, of course, to repair the barrier. The activation of this second-layer barrier is not that easy, and in fact, the second-layer barrier also has a certain effect of evolving demonic Qi."

"It's just that if this second-layer barrier is truly restarted, then this demonic Qi will completely lose the chance to leave. If there are other demons in this place, they will naturally be left behind forever."

"Forever?"

The other party used this word too definitively, which made Chen Ang frown.

"Didn't you say that there is a way to leave? If there really are other demons, you should be able to find a way to send them away, right?"

To this, the village chief explained: "This matter is not that simple. The place where I send you to leave is somewhere demons cannot pass through at all. Moreover, if they have truly entered this territory, how could they be willing to leave again?"

"They would likely only think of ways to destroy the barrier of this territory, thereby releasing their ancestor."

The village chief's tone was filled with disgust for the demons.

This reminded Chen Ang of that little demon; he wondered what the situation was with that fellow now, and if he had also encountered the same danger.

However, if the other party were truly caught or attacked by these people, Chen Ang would not go to help or intervene.

He did not want to be an enemy of the people in this entire place, nor did he want to get involved in muddy waters.

"So, should I be patrolling in sections with you now? What is needed for the repair of this barrier? If there is a life-threatening danger, I will refuse."

"It won't reach the point of life-threatening danger, but it will require exhausting the power within your body. It is estimated that after the barrier is repaired, you will likely need to recuperate for a month or so to recover. But don't worry, I will prepare the ingredients for you properly; I absolutely will not let you suffer."

The village chief had never been this generous in this regard before.

And these things were all prepared by him specifically for this day, only he hadn't expected that they would be put to use so soon.
