At this mont, several respected elders from Changpan Valley also arrived. They were devoted worshippers of the Moon God and would not allow anyone to speak disrespectfully about the Divine Lord. Last ti, these sa people were prejudiced against Xiao Houzi because he lost the moonprint.
But Uncle Liang was not the kind of person to have a good temper. He imdiately exploded in a thunderous rage and said, "You stupid old ox, you're talking nonsense! If it weren't for Xiao Houzi organizing us against the underworld spirits, we probably wouldn't have made it back. If you dare to say you want to expel Xiao Houzi from the village again, I'll be the first to fight you!"
Uncle Liang stood in front of Xiang Beifei, like an old ox protecting its calf, furiously pulled out his axe and threw it toward the guy, with the axe spinning through the air and landing directly in the dirt in front of the old man's feet.
"Liang Si, what madness is this!" The elder cursed as he staggered back several steps, almost falling in fright.
With Uncle Liang's outburst, the other elders who wanted to speak up dared not say anything. The fact that Uncle Liang, despite his age, still dared to go out hunting proved he wasn't easy to ss with. If it really ca to a fight, they probably wouldn't stand a chance.
"Alright, stop arguing, let's hurry into the valley and clear things up, Uncle Liang, please calm down," Jiang Feng quickly ca out to diate.
"Gather everyone in Changpan Valley here imdiately! Today, we must reveal the truth to everyone; we can no longer be deceived by the underworld spirits and the Moon God!" Uncle Liang walked over, pulled the axe out of the ground, and shouted loudly.
Uncle Liang, as an elder, still carried authority. Seeing him storming around with the axe, even the robust guards dared not delay, they opened the gates, let all the hunters in, and imdiately went back to notify everyone in Changpan Valley.
Soon, everyone in Changpan Valley, n and won, old and young, were alard. Upon hearing that the hunting n had returned and that there was important news to announce, they hurried over, fearing their male family mbers had died outside.
Fortunately, during this ng Dong hunt, none of the hunters had any accidents. Xiang Beifei had protected everyone well. Many won and children breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging information about what happened, then looked fearfully at the two at-winged monsters that had just been captured.
When the cages holding the at-winged monsters were brought before everyone, the people of Changpan Valley exclaid in shock, retreating one by one. So won and children, upon seeing the underworld spirits, couldn't help but recall their deceased fathers and husbands, filled with grief and indignation.
"Everyone quiet down! The reason for gathering everyone here today is to explain sothing to you all!"
Uncle Liang stood on the high platform, scanning everyone, then turned his gaze to the wooden cage holding the at-winged monsters and continued, "This matter might shock you at first but I must let you know the truth! Do you know where the underworld spirits co from?"
All the clan mbers looked at each other in confusion. They had only heard that the underworld spirits awakened around this ti every year, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, attacking and slaughtering humans, only to vanish without a trace afterwards. But as for how they ca about, there was no explanation.
"Of course, you don't know! If we hadn't captured these two underworld spirits today, there'd be no way to uncover the truth!"
Uncle Liang gritted his teeth as he looked at the at-winged monsters and continued, "In reality, the underworld spirits are those winged bird people of the Moon God Race! They're what we call the divine envoys, even the Divine Lord exists among them!"
"That's impossible! The divine envoys are our saviours in Changpan Valley, how could they be underworld spirits?"
"Exactly, just a few years ago, when we were attacked by underworld spirits, it was the divine envoys who ca to rescue us."
Many in the tribe couldn't believe it.
"Bullshit! They were just putting on an act! Those disgusting, hypocritical bastards almost fooled us all; the underworld spirits are staging this to suppress our human developnt, preventing us from rising up, and they hunt us humans for sport. If I hadn't personally heard these at-winged monsters' confessions, we'd still be in the dark," said Uncle Liang.
"Uncle Liang, your words aren't very convincing. Might you have been bewitched by the illusions of so desolate beast?"
After all, Jiang Feng and his group, who were guarding the village, hadn't seen the other side of the at-winged monsters. What they saw was just Uncle Liang in thunderous rage, and aside from the hunters who went out to hunt, most of the people left in Changpan Valley couldn't believe it.
Uncle Liang also realized this problem and said to the hunters, "We need to find a way to make these two turn back into the form of the divine envoys! Otherwise, they won't believe us."
Kari and Rock, hearing Uncle Liang's words, also sneered internally.
——Do you really think you can force us to change back into that form to convince all the humans? Dream on!
Kari knew very well that as long as he didn't revert to a holy appearance, the people of Changpan Valley would never fully believe the hunters' words.
There were more people in Changpan Valley who hadn't seen them shapeshift than there were hunters. Only about a thousand people went out hunting, while Changpan Valley had tens of thousands. The hunters would simply be viewed as being influenced by encountering a strong desolate beast, mixing up underworld spirits with the Moon God.
Thinking the hunters couldn't prove it, Kari's face showed a smug smile. Maintaining this form, he could incite internal conflict among Changpan Valley's humans, making it a perfect opportunity for counterattack!
Uncle Liang walked up to Kari, knocked on Kari's head with a smoking pipe, and shouted, "What are you two waiting for? Hurry up and turn back into those bird people!"
Kari, being knocked on the head repeatedly by a human with a smoking pipe, was about to go crazy. Being hit on the head didn't actually hurt, but the humiliation was intolerable!
As a divine envoy, whenever he ca to Changpan Valley, weren't all humans supposed to kneel and welco him? But unexpectedly, these humans dared to knock on his head. To Kari, this was a great humiliation!
Kari glared viciously at Uncle Liang and said, "Don't give the chance to get out; otherwise, I will surely tear you apart, smash your head bit by bit, and then devour your brains!"
Uncle Liang, targeted by Kari's gaze, flinched but quickly shouted angrily back, "Even as a prisoner, you dare threaten ! Will you change or not? If not, I'll bash your head in first!"
Uncle Liang angrily knocked on the at-winged monster's head.
Kari was almost laughing with anger; was this human old man an idiot? This was a perfect opportunity to sow discord and make those still worshipping the Moon God doubt the hunters, how could he possibly change?
"You stupid humans, you really think..."
Kari sneered, ready to voice his sarcasm, but before he could finish, a strange aura seed to envelop him, and suddenly all his resentnt vanished from his mind, as if a switch had flipped, releasing all his murderous intent, truly becoming broad-minded and selfless.
And at this mont, the tumors on Kari's skin began to slowly retract, the skin beca smooth, and feathers gradually started appearing on the at wings, radiating a divine brilliance, turning him back into an approachable divine envoy!
"Ah! It really is a divine envoy!"
Many villagers, upon seeing Kari suddenly transform from a at-winged monster to a divine envoy, were stunned!
They initially thought Uncle Liang was talking nonsense, confused between underworld spirits and divine envoys, but now everyone had seen with their own eyes, it was incredible!
On the other side, Rock was also shocked. Weren't they supposed to maintain this form to incite human infighting? Why did Kari's ntor transform back on his own?
Even Uncle Liang was taken aback, looking at his smoking pipe, then at the at-winged monster, puzzled, "Is my pipe really that powerful?"
He had just angrily knocked on the underworld spirit's head to vent, not expecting it to transform this way.
But soon, he realized sothing and exclaid with joy, "Could knocking them on the head make the underworld spirit turn into a divine envoy? That's great! I found the weakness of the underworld spirits!"
Uncle Liang looked over at Rock, who was still in the form of a at-winged monster, then knocked on Rock's head with the pipe again, "You, hurry up and change! Hurry and change! Change for !"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rock glared with resentnt, how could he possibly yield! This was a pri chance to provoke internal strife among the humans, no way would he transform!
"Foolish humans, you really think..."
Rock sneered, but suddenly his hideous face started to transform as well. His appearance softened, revealing the form of a handso young man from the Moon God Race, much to the uproar of all the people in Changpan Valley.
