Chapter 348: Making Amends

When Audrey and the others appeared with Felt, it caused a commotion below the stage.

“Miss Audrey, do you have any way to prove that we have demonic Qi?” Some of the villagers who were still unwilling to give up asked. After cultivating for many years, they had finally found a shortcut. However, they had never thought that it would be a way to harm others and themselves.

“I don’t have any way to prove it, but you can listen to the Elder’s words.” Audrey snorted coldly, her cold eyes landing on Felt.

As long as Felt told the villagers what had happened in the past few months, they would surely have their own judgments.

The villagers here were pure-hearted by nature. This time, they had fallen for the mysterious person’s scheme because they were in a hurry to improve. Audrey believed that when they realized that they were not cultivating the righteous path, they would definitely change and return to the righteous path.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Felt had aged a lot. His grizzled hair hung messily by his ears, and his mouth was covered with a jagged beard. He looked exceptionally weathered.

Felt had guarded the village for many years. He could be considered a person that the villagers trusted very much. They basically listened to his commands.

“Elder Felt, do you have anything to say?” The villagers asked anxiously, “Previously, we listened to you. Why is it like this now?”

“Yes, we have always listened to you. That’s why we train like this.” The others also echoed. This made Felt lower his head even more guiltily.

He had betrayed the trust of the villagers.

Faced with the increasingly anxious questions of the villagers, Felt sighed deeply and raised his head slightly. From his slightly wrinkled face, one could see that he was full of guilt and self-blame.

His eyes were also bloodshot.

“Fellow villagers, I’ve let you all down. I’ve let down your trust.” After a long while, Felt spoke gently, his tone dejected.

Hearing this, the villagers were all stunned, as if they had already expected the outcome.

“Elder Felt, we trusted you so much. What do you mean by this?” A young man among the villagers asked in disbelief.

This young man was Felt’s closest disciple. He wanted to train with Felt and increase his strength so that one day, he could venture into the outside world.

“A few months ago, the mysterious man found me. I was obsessed and believed them. That’s why I cultivated demonic Qi and caused everyone to fall into the sea of bitterness with me. All of this is my fault.” At this moment, Felt gradually reflected on himself, he realized his mistake.

“What we cultivate is really demonic Qi. What should we do?”

“Yeah, won’t we die?”

…

The villagers immediately panicked. They were low-level cultivators. They only wanted to become stronger through hard work, but they did not expect to cultivate incorrectly due to their ignorance.

Afraid that everyone would panic and cause chaos, Audrey immediately went forward to comfort them, “Everyone, please calm down. Although demonic Qi is terrifying, not everyone who cultivates will immediately end up in a bad state. Later, my friends and I will help everyone clear away the demonic Qi and walk on the right path of cultivation.”

Hearing this, the villagers calmed down and looked at Audrey as if they were the saviors of the world. They thanked her, “That’s great. We are saved.”

“Miss Audrey, you’re our savior.”

It was the first time Audrey faced such a situation. She smiled embarrassedly and did not know how to deal with it. The others had been groomed as the future chiefs of the five great families since they were young, so they naturally had a way to deal with this.

“This is what we should do. There’s no need to thank us.” Kate immediately stepped forward to help Audrey out.

“Yeah, as long as everyone is fine,” Klein echoed.

Then, the Elder said, “In order to make up for everyone, let me make up for my mistakes. I will absorb all of your demonic Qi and seal it in the ice chamber to purify the demonic Qi.”

“Elder Felt!” Hearing this, the villagers looked anxious.

Felt could be said to be the village’s anchor. If he was gone, the village would be filled with danger.

“Everyone, there’s no need to say anymore. I’ve made up my mind. In the future, let the blazing beast protect you on my behalf,” Felt interrupted everyone and said resolutely.

When the blazing beast was mentioned, the villagers fell silent. When they thought of what they had done to the blazing beast in the past, their hearts were filled with guilt. They did not know how they would have the face to let the blazing beast return.

Seeing the villagers like this, a complicated look flashed across Audrey’s eyes.

The blazing beast and the villagers had always been on good terms. All of this was caused by a mysterious person. As long as the villagers were sincere in repentance, the blazing beast would definitely forgive them.

“Everyone, there’s no need to worry. I’ve already reached an agreement with the blazing beast. As long as everyone treats it well, it will return.”

“Really?”

“That’s great,” the villagers shouted happily.

Audrey nodded sincerely. She was relieved that the matter was about to be resolved.

“Now, I’ll absorb all the demonic Qi from your bodies,” said Felt as he gestured with his hands in front of his chest to mobilize the energy in his body. Then, he acted like an endless energy-absorbing machine, he took away all the black demonic aura from the villagers.
