Chapter 59: That Silver-Haired, Pointed-Eared Man-Eating Immortal Lord Has Arrived!

After Heulia and the others finished packing, Jiang Yan sent a Qianyan soldier to accompany Heulia and the group to Guili Plains.

With a Qianyan soldier acting as Jiang Yan's mouthpiece, Lady Guizhong naturally knew what to do.

After resting for a while, the Qianyan soldiers followed Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu, continuing onward toward Qingce Village.

After a month of sightseeing along the way, Jiang Yan and his party finally arrived at Qingce Village.

"Is this Qingce Village?"

Jiang Yan frowned.

The Qingce Village before him was completely different from the one in his memory.

In his memory, Qingce Village was picturesque, with terraced fields beside the water, a perfect place for retirement.

And what was this before his eyes?

Scattered monsters walked on the terraced fields, and some rotting human corpses floated in the paddy fields, their blood black.

The air was thick with the stench of decay and the scent of blood.

Little Ganyu also covered her nose and frowned.

"It must be because Chi frantically gathered monsters before the battle, causing a massive concentration of monsters in Qingce Village."

"Monsters are inherently aggressive toward humans; their gathering caused disaster for those humans who were originally under Chi's protection."

Hearing Little Ganyu's words, Jiang Yan sighed.

"It seems restoring this place will take a great deal of time again."

"In any case, let's clear out the monsters here first before dealing with other matters!"

Having said that, Jiang Yan spoke to the Qianyan soldiers behind him:

"I leave this place to you; I will go check on the human village over there."

"Yes! Leave this place to us with confidence, my lord!"

The Qianyan commander slammed his spear onto the ground and said with a respectful expression.

Jiang Yan nodded, turned, and led Little Ganyu into the interior of Qingce Village.

Along the way, the scent of blood was everywhere; the dead humans had their eyes wide open, as if unable to believe it.

Indeed, even until death they could not have imagined that the god they believed in would actually gather monsters to kill them.

Chi was cruel; it was not a god who loved humans.

It was a god who would stop at nothing to achieve its goals!

Humans?

In the eyes of this Lord Chi Dragon, they were nothing but a herd of livestock dependent on him.

Jiang Yan fell silent, which was rare for him.

He, who was always cheerful and optimistic, felt a nameless anger surge up from within his heart at the scene before him.

Little Ganyu beside him could not bear it and closed her eyes.

Climbing up the hill, they came face to face with a ruined village.

Thin black smoke was rising from the village; it seemed there were still survivors.

Chi's plan to gather monsters began twenty years ago, and large-scale gathering only started five years ago.

Fortunately, it was not a continuous large-scale gathering for twenty years; otherwise, who knows what shape Qingce Village would have been reduced to.

Currently, the Chi Dragon is severely injured and fled, hiding somewhere unknown while waiting to counterattack.

Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu must take full control of Qingce Village as soon as possible so that grain production can resume supply quickly.

"You are... the Immortal Lord... the Immortal Lord of Guili Plains!"

When the two of them, Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu, walked up, they were spotted by a small child wearing tattered clothes.

"Hello there, little one."

Jiang Yan stepped forward, wanting to greet the small child before him.

But before he could get close, the small child screamed, picked up a stone, and threw it at Jiang Yan.

"Go away! You bad guy!"

Jiang Yan, whose physique had been enhanced by hundreds of ordinary treasure chests, naturally felt nothing, but he was surprised.

This small child, whom he was meeting for the first time, actually held such great hostility toward him.

"Well, little one, why do you think I am a bad guy?"

Jiang Yan tried his best to show a kind smile.

"Waaah!!!"

The small child ran away crying, shouting loudly as he ran:

"Mom! The man-eating Immortal Lord you talked about is here!!!"

"The silver-haired, pointed-eared man-eating Immortal Lord is coming!!!"

Hearing the sound of the small child running away crying, Jiang Yan had a face full of black lines.

Little Ganyu beside him covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Jiang Yan turned to look at Little Ganyu.

"Do I... look that scary?"

"No... pfft... no... not scary hahahaha."

Little Ganyu finally could not hold it back and laughed out loud at Jiang Yan's speechless expression.

"But there is indeed a problem; you defeated Chi, and according to common sense, you should have saved them, so why do they think you are a man-eating Immortal Lord?"

After laughing for a while, Little Ganyu composed herself and thought about the problem together with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan rubbed his chin: "Perhaps those villagers will give us the answer."

"Let's go."

Jiang Yan strolled forward.

After walking only a short while, roughly upon reaching the village center, Jiang Yan saw the villagers scattered in small groups.

That child was being held in a woman's arms, crying and recounting something.

Everyone around wore expressions of terror.
