Chapter 279

"Who are you? Why have you come here?"

The figure inside the crystal ball asked.

Li An said, "We are travelers passing through. Strange things have happened in this village, and we wish to understand the situation."

The figure inside the crystal ball fell silent for a moment, then said, "This village was once a peaceful place, but everything changed since the mysterious figure in black robes arrived."

"They sought to destroy our faith and summoned evil monsters."

"I am the deity worshipped by this village, but my power was sealed by the mysterious figure in black robes, leaving me unable to protect my people."

Li An said, "We can help you break the seal, but you must promise us that you will protect this village from now on."

The deity said, "Very well. As long as you help me break the seal, I will certainly protect this village."

Li An and the others began studying the runes on the altar, trying to find a way to break the seal.

Soon, they finally found the method to break it.

Li An infused mysterious power into the crystal ball. The crystal ball blazed with light, and the seal was broken. The deity flew out of the crystal ball, transformed into a beam of light, and vanished into the horizon.

Moments later, the deity reappeared, radiating a powerful aura.

"Thank you. My power has been restored! I will fulfill my promise and protect this village."

The deity said.

Li An and the others looked at the deity, their hearts filled with relief.

They knew that this village could finally return to its former peace.

"We should continue our journey now."

Li An said.

His gaze turned toward the group of women.
