Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"It turns out this kind of thing actually happened." Zixuan said in amazement.

The two followed Yaohui into the village. On the way, the villagers cast admiring glances at them, which made Yaohui feel uncomfortable.

The village chief led everyone to the ancestral hall and also talked about the past of the Zhou brothers.

"The two brothers Zhou Cheng and Zhou Shun were originally from our village. Their parents died a few years ago, and we all invested money to raise them."

"At that time, the two brothers were as close to us as a family. In order to support Zhou Shun's schooling, Zhou Cheng worked outside every day running errands, and we all contributed a lot."

"Go to school? There is a school here?" Zi Xuan stopped and asked.

"Of course, otherwise how would everyone recognize the words?" Zhou Dashan said.

"Forehead……"

The village chief continued, "About six years ago, Zhou Shun successfully became a guard in the Black Territory with his own strength. Everyone was so happy at that time."

"Over the past few years, even in the village, we have heard of his reputation in the city. He is a man of justice, punishing evildoers and eliminating evil, and we are all very pleased."

"But everything changed three years ago when Zhou Cheng became an official in the city."

According to the village chief, three years ago, a man named Chen, who relied on his wealth and power to commit crimes, lived in the city. Zhou Shun and Zhou Cheng worked together to gather evidence and finally brought Chen down. However, Zhou Cheng somehow inherited all of Chen's wealth, and he completely changed since then, becoming an unstoppable villain.

At this time, Zhao Heng stopped and sighed.

"Ha...power blinds the mind."

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a Taoist temple appeared before everyone.

"We're here." The village chief stopped and said, "This is the ancestral hall of our village."

The three of them walked into the ancestral hall. Several tablets were erected in front of them. On them were written the names of the deceased and the year and month of death were clearly marked. There were nearly 30 rows from top to bottom, with more than a hundred people in each row. However, except for Yaohui, Zixuan and Zhao Heng could not understand the words on them at all.

"Are these tablets all from your village?" Zi Xuan exclaimed.

"Yes, although our village is not big, it has a history of a hundred years, and three generations of Zhou Cheng's ancestors are buried here. But I don't know when it started, but the rumor that there is gold buried here suddenly spread in the village, and it attracted the covetousness of many people." After saying this, the village chief sighed helplessly.

Zixuan looked around, then walked to the outside of the ancestral hall to observe it for a while. At this moment, the sealed well nearby caught her attention.

"Village chief, why is this well sealed?" Zixuan pointed at the well and asked the village chief in the ancestral hall.

"Oh, that's the well they dug when they rebuilt the ancestral hall. But when they dug it, a pool of black oil came out. Because it was next to the ancestral hall, everyone thought it was a bad omen, so they sealed it with stones." The village chief said, leaning on his crutch. "It's strange to say, this rumor seems to have spread around that time. Lord Divine Messenger, do you think there is some connection between the two?"

After listening to the village chief's words, Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan understood everything instantly.

"Black oil..., do you think it could be..." Zi Xuan looked at Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng nodded after some thought.

"Well, I think that's it. No wonder there are rumors like this."

At this time, Yaohui came over and asked, "So, you already understand the reason?"

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Well, if I'm not mistaken, the black oil the village chief mentioned is probably petroleum. In our area, it has always been one of the main energy sources for science, both in the past and now. Natural mineral deposits like this are far more valuable than gold."

"So that's how it is, no wonder." Yaohui suddenly realized.

After hearing this, a group of village chiefs immediately became nervous. After all, how could an ordinary person like him know these things?

"Something's wrong with the village chief!"

Suddenly, two young men ran to the door of the ancestral hall anxiously.

"That gang, that gang of guys is here again!" the guy on the left said breathlessly.

At this time, the guy on the right also pointed to the back and said breathlessly: "Yes, that's right, and there are more of them this time, and they all have weapons in their hands!"

"What? What should we do now?" After hearing what the two said, the village chief became even more panicked.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Yaohui walked to the village chief and comforted him, then walked in the direction the young man pointed.

Just when he walked out of the ancestral hall for about 100 meters, a group of people came to him. They came with a fierce momentum and had all kinds of tools in their hands, including shovels, pickaxes, crowbars, and the only decent one was a sickle. It was not known where they got them from. Those who knew them thought they were here to demolish the house, while those who didn't thought they were here to plow the land.

"It's these guys. They insisted on demolishing our ancestral hall and we couldn't stop them!" The young man said, pointing at the people in front of him.

At this time, the leader of the crowd spoke.

"You country bumpkins again! Listen carefully! Our master has said this time, this ancestral hall must be demolished no matter what. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed!"

Looking at the weapons in everyone's hands, the village chief looked at Yaohui again.

"Master Yaohui, look..."

Yaohui snorted disapprovingly and said, "They brought this upon themselves. Don't worry, I won't let them get away with it any longer!"

Yaohui clenched his fists and walked towards the crowd, while the thug with glasses looked at someone with disdain when he saw someone walking towards him.

"Oh, so you guys hired some thugs too. But with so many of us, we're not afraid of just one of you!"

At the leader's command, all the thugs rushed forward. Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan wanted to go over to help but Yaohui stopped them with a look.

"Hmph, you overestimate your abilities!" Yaohui snorted coldly.

The thugs came like a tide, but Yaohui just clenched his fists, and in the blink of an eye!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Pooh!"

All the thugs were knocked to the ground, and they only received... half a punch in the process.

Yes, that's right, because in Yaohui's impression, if an ordinary person didn't hold back, he would have died if he had hit him with a punch. The last time he used Kuang Dao's big mouth was the best proof of that.

"Awesome, you are worthy of being Lord Yaohui!" After the battle, the village chief and a group of villagers walked to his side.

At this moment, Yao Hui folded his arms and said disdainfully: "Humph, arrest them and send them to Clorinde."

"Yes!" The villagers responded one after another, and then took out ropes from the ancestral hall and tied up all the criminals.

One of the gangsters refused to accept the outcome. After being taken into custody, he turned around and shouted at Yaohui, "Damn it! Where the hell did you come from? I'm telling you, let us go right now, or I'll make things difficult for you when I get out! Oh no!"

Zhou Dashan punched the gangster in the head in retaliation, and relying on Yaohui's morale, he said arrogantly: "Behave yourself! You are still shouting at this time. To tell you the truth, the person in front of you is our Black Domain's guardian demon, Lord Yaohui. In order to deal with you, I went to great lengths to invite him here!"

"What, evil, evil demon?" The gangster became obedient instantly after hearing it, because he had heard the name Yaohui, and not only him, but almost everyone in the Black Domain knew that Yaohui was the name of an evil demon.

At this time, Yaohui frowned and looked at the gang leader beside him.

"From the tone of your voice just now, I can tell that you are the leader of the team, right?" he asked seriously.

"Yes... yes!" The gang leader panicked instantly. "Please spare my life, Master Evil! I'm only following orders. These are all orders from our master. He said there's a lot of wealth hidden beneath this ancestral hall, so he sent us here!"
