Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 820 - 807: Arresting Old Liu

In a small ravine known as Liu Family Village, the peace was suddenly shattered as hundreds of soldiers clad in battle armor continuously surged in!

The originally busy villagers were shocked and terrified, never expecting so many soldiers to storm into Liu Family Village!

What on earth had happened?

Immediately, the villagers dared not think further, panicking as they quickly ran into their houses, "bang bang bang bang!" one by one shutting their doors and staying inside! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Come out! Get out here, you bastards!" At this moment, a middle-aged officer leading the men, upon seeing the fleeing villagers, bellowed angrily in a vicious manner.

Seeing those tightly shut doors with no sign of opening, his roar sounded again: "All of you, get out here! If you don’t, I’ll set this village on fire!"

"Ah ah! Please don’t, sir!"

"Sir, we are all law-abiding common folk, we haven’t done anything wrong, sir!"

"Sir, you absolutely must not set fire!"

Under the threat of the officer, the villagers one after another opened their doors with mournful faces, pleading to the soldiers.

"Hmph, you lowly scoundrels. Without showing you some true colors, you wouldn’t behave." Looking at the villagers coming out again, the officer snorted coldly.

Then, holding two portraits in his hands, he shouted to the villagers: "Have any of you seen these two people? Anyone with information shall be greatly rewarded!"

The portraits in his hands were of Shi Feng and Luo Qingchuan.

"No... haven’t seen them..."

"Neither have I."

"Haven’t seen them."

One by one, the villagers shook their heads as they looked at the two portraits.

At this moment, a lame young man in the village, Little Yu, known for being idle and lazy, looked at the two portraits, and when his gaze finally settled on the young man in the picture, he suddenly shuddered.

"Great reward!" The words of the reward spoken by the officer earlier were echoing in the young man’s mind.

"Sir! This young gentleman, I seem to have seen him!" At this moment, the lame young man Little Yu hobbled forward eagerly to tell the fierce officer.

"You’ve seen him? Really? Where is he now?" The officer looked at the young man in front of him and barked.

"Resembles, looks a lot like him! Just yesterday, I saw Old Liu who lives at the village’s end, carrying an unconscious young man on his back, who looked almost identical to the person in the portrait, heading towards his house." The lame young man replied.

"Unconscious? Oh! Good! Quickly take me there." The officer urged.

"Yes, yes! Certainly! I’ll take you gentlemen there right away, but the reward..."

"Shut up!" Hearing him mention the reward, the temperamental officer yelled furiously and slapped him hard, a loud crack resounding as the slap sent the lame young man flying.

Then, pointing at the young man sitting on the ground, the officer barked: "Just take me there, spare me your nonsense, or I’m smashing your skull."

"Yes, yes! Sir! Sir, I’ll take you there right now." Terrified, the lame young man scrambled up, not daring to mention any reward.

Limpingly, he led the soldiers to Old Liu’s house at the end of the village.

"Hurry up, you brat! Go any slower and I’ll smash your crotch right now!" Seeing the lame man walking slowly, the officer impatiently urged from behind.

"Yes, yes sir! Yes, sir!" Little Yu was inwardly complaining. Being a cripple, he couldn’t walk fast even if he tried.

But he didn’t want his crotch smashed, so he used all his strength, limping at a faster pace.

Looking at that ominous officer, he knew any rewarding was futile, surviving the day would already be a blessing.

Oh, what sins have I committed!

...

"Sir, that’s Old Liu’s house over there, and that’s Old Liu with his little granddaughter!"

After reaching the village’s end, the lame young man pointed at a small shabby wooden house and the old man and small girl in front of it from afar, saying.

"Oh!" The middle-aged officer’s gaze sharpened and he nodded. Then, he cast another glance at the lame young man, before suddenly punching him fiercely, "bang" sounded as he exploded the young man’s head, leaving him a headless corpse.

Looking at the slowly falling headless corpse, the fierce officer cursed: "Cowardly traitor who sells out fellow villagers, the thing I hate the most! Back then, I was almost killed because of a village traitor like you."

After speaking, he waved at the hundreds of soldiers behind him, ordering: "Surround them! Capture those two!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Under the officer’s command, the hundreds of soldiers rushed toward the small wooden house.

Originally, the officer would have to consider reporting it upon discovering the whereabouts of these two fugitives, as it was an order from Xuanyuan City Lord, Xuanyuan Changyun.

But now, after hearing the lame young man say the boy was unconscious and carried back by an old man,

this made things easier for him, indeed he felt his luck had turned. The bounty for these two was a whopping two million Primordial Stones!

Thinking about the mountain of Primordial Stones that would become his, the officer’s heart was already ablaze.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

"What are you doing! Why are you capturing my grandfather and me! Let us go, you bad people."

Instantly, in front of the wooden house, came the cries of the old man and the little girl, Little Bao, as the soldiers rushed in to capture them both.

"We are just diligent, law-abiding villagers, why are you capturing us! You must have caught the wrong people." Old Liu shouted to the soldiers.

"No mistake, I want precisely this old undying and this small undying!" At this moment, the officer stepped forward, standing in front of Old Liu and the little girl, sneering as he spoke.

Then, the officer took out a portrait, showing it to Old Liu, saying: "Old undying, have you seen this person!"

"This person!" Old Liu, upon seeing the portrait, was taken aback in his heart, this person... this is the young man he rescued from the mountains yesterday.

However, Old Liu quickly shook his head, saying: "No... sir, I haven’t seen this person at all! Sir, please let my granddaughter and me go!"

"Hmph! Haven’t seen!" The officer snorted coldly at Old Liu’s words, then raised one hand and fiercely slapped Old Liu’s frail old face!
