I am eight years old again, and I will never serve as a cauldron for the empress again.

"You old fool, quickly break the seal of my ancestors! Otherwise, the three of us brothers will destroy your damned village!"

A furious shout came from beyond the heavens.

Immediately afterwards, a three-headed, peak-level extraterrestrial demon, clad in black scales and engulfed in scorching flames, descended.

The surrounding space was distorted by the scorching flames!

"I've said it before, if you want to save your ancestor, no problem, but exchange him for other members of your clan who are at the peak of the Saint Realm! In Fengyun Village, there are a total of 372 prominent figures sealed away. This number can only be more, not less. Only one person can leave while one person remains sealed! Only a stronger member of the same clan can exchange for the previous person to leave!"

The old village chief spoke with a firm and powerful voice.

Although he was pale, he was not as weak as Zhuang Zhou had imagined.

Even the three-headed Heavenly Realm extraterrestrial demons were not afraid of him.

"What kind of bullshit rules are these! Do you even know that we are the Undying Demon Clan! Every member of our clan would be a top genius among your human race. Fighting across two or three major realms is as easy as eating and drinking for them! Take the three of us brothers, for example, each of us has the strength to kill a Saint Realm expert! And you, old man, actually want us to exchange one of our clan members at the peak of the Saint Realm for one of them, a being who can challenge an Emperor Realm expert!"

An extraterrestrial demon impatiently rebuked the old village chief.

His eyes flashed with a fierce light, yet they also concealed a hint of hesitation and fear.

"Rules are rules! Every statue in my Fengyun Village was originally created through their voluntary sacrifice! We did not force them in the slightest! Back then, your Undying Demon Clan's ancestors exchanged an eternal seal for the 'Undying Demon Scripture,' which allowed your Undying Demon Clan to rise again! Without that technique, your Undying Demon Clan would probably have disappeared into the river of history long ago, and you would not have the right to bargain with me here."

Although the old village chief's voice was slow, every word he uttered was powerful and resonant.

“We acknowledge all that you’ve said! But our ancestor has been sealed in Fengyun Village for a full eight thousand years! He has provided your Fengyun Village with a continuous source of energy. Eight thousand years is a price to pay! Whatever the debt of gratitude, it has already been repaid. Your Fengyun Village cannot continue to hold him captive!”

The extraterrestrial demon at the Heavenly Gang Realm glared angrily at the old village chief once again.

"Rules are rules, and they won't change for anyone. The contract signed back then was to seal your ancestor in Fengyun Village for eternity, providing a continuous source of energy for the village. If you really want him to leave, then find a clansman of the same or higher cultivation level to replace him! Otherwise, Fengyun Village will never release him!"

The old village chief persisted.

The extraterrestrial demon's eyes revealed a fierce look.

"You old fool, we've already tried everything to reason with you, but since you won't listen to reason, then don't blame us three brothers for being ruthless! The Fengyun Village of today is no longer the Fengyun Village of the past. Over the years, you've caused trouble everywhere, and all the village's strongmen are already seriously injured. Even the renowned Fengyun Grand Array of Fengyun Village has been destroyed by seventy or eighty percent. You, the old village chief, have also fallen from the Emperor Realm and returned to the Heavenly Gang Realm, just like us! Do you think you can still protect anyone under these circumstances?"

The extraterrestrial demon finally revealed its sharp edge.

Zhuang Zhou's previous doubts were all resolved at this moment.

No wonder he felt a strong sense of incongruity about the old village chief the moment he saw him.

It turns out that this old village chief was a powerful figure who had fallen from the Emperor Realm.

"Even a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs! I never thought that I, Nalan Aoshi, would have such a day!"

The old village chief laughed heartily, but his laughter was filled with desolation.

Suddenly, his injuries flared up again. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, clutched his chest with his left hand, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Nalan Aoshi? Grandfather?!"

When the old village chief announced his name.

Nalan Hansheng's body suddenly stiffened.

The old village chief's name was exactly the same as his grandfather, whom he had never met.

"What, Nalan Hansheng, you still refuse to acknowledge me as your grandfather?"

The old village chief looked at Nalan Hansheng, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness and melancholy.

"Actually, I saw you once on the day you were born!"

"But on that day, I had to leave! So I couldn't accompany you as you grew up! Before I left, I personally put a golden longevity lock around your neck. Inside this longevity lock is the 'Six Secrets of Overlord' that I left behind. I'm sure you've already inherited it!"

The old village chief revealed Nalan Hansheng's secrets one by one.

This moment.

Nalan Hansheng finally realized that the old village chief in front of him was his grandfather who had been missing for many years.

"Grandfather, why are you here? And how did you become the old village chief of Fengyun Village?"

Nalan Hansheng held the old village chief's rough hands tightly.

Although the two had never met, the bond of blood could not be severed!

"Let's put that aside for now. The task of slaying these three extraterrestrial demons at the Heavenly Gang Realm is entrusted to you! I am currently severely injured and cannot fight. Therefore, the task of dealing with these extraterrestrial demons is yours!"

The old village chief patted Nalan Hansheng on the shoulder, looking as if he trusted him completely.

Nalan Hansheng stood there, completely stunned.

He recognized a grandfather, so how did he end up as a thug?

To work for Zhuang Zhou.

They at least gave him some benefits.

And this cheap grandfather didn't even give him any benefits, but instead sent him to deal with the three extraterrestrial demons. Isn't this just blatantly betraying his grandson?

Nalan Hansheng still wanted to bargain.

The old village chief had already seen through his grandson's intentions, so without saying a word, he kicked Nalan Hansheng in front of the three-headed extraterrestrial demon.

"My dear grandson, as long as you behave well, I, as your grandfather, will certainly not treat you unfairly!"

"Zhuang Zhou, now it's your turn to shine. I've been severely injured, and only your Myriad Creatures Technique can heal me!"

Zhuang Zhou, who had been watching the show with amusement, pointed to his nose with a look of astonishment: "Me? What do I have to do with this? I'm not your grandson, I'm not going to work for you for free!"

Zhuang Zhou rolled his eyes at the old village chief.

Previously, the old village chief had specifically named him, Liu Yang, and Nalan Hansheng, and he thought it was because he was exceptionally talented and had been favored by the old village chief.

Unexpectedly, the old village chief had taken a liking to my healing abilities; it turned out he wanted me to work for free!

Given Zhuang Zhou's personality, he would never suffer a loss.

The old village chief coughed dryly, his face full of embarrassment.

He didn't expect Zhuang Zhou to reject him so decisively.

"Don't you know? The hope of this world ultimately lies in our Fengyun Village! Only if you heal my injuries can I help you save this world!"

The old village chief straightened his chest, which was so shriveled that only his ribs remained.

Zhuang Zhou rolled his eyes again, saying nonchalantly, "What does the destruction of this world have to do with me?"

The old village chief threatened Zhuang Zhou with the survival and destruction of the world.

That was a completely wrong move!

With Zhuang Zhou's character, he has no interest in the survival or destruction of the Lingtian Realm that gave him birth, let alone this world!

"Either you give me something, or I'll leave! You can't expect to get anything from me for free!"

Zhuang Zhou spoke decisively!
