After the attack that night, there was no need for Fang An to witness the two groups of Moon Shadows that were caught, with the incident, the attack, Luo Ding and the village elders instantly decided on the death penalty for the two captives.
Fang An and Luo Ying themselves began to prepare for all their needs, as they were about to leave for the peak of Mount Hunsu, Fang An also did not forget to look for something in the village market, either, who knows there are items that might be useful for him on his journey.
After three days of Fang An being in Tinsang Village, Fang An and Luo Ying finally left for Hunsu Mountain.
"Is there a village we'll pass by later Brother Luo?" ask Fang An.
"Yes, we will pass through three villages, as well as a swamp, after which we will enter the Perverted Forest!" luo Ying replied.
The Perverted Forest was one of the great forests of the three forests that existed in the Green Mainland Continent, it was named the Perverted Forest because if there was someone who entered the vast forest and the existence of the Anim Beast in it would definitely make that person confused to be able to get out of the forest.
Fear and panic will make a person will not be able to think clearly so that he will run without direction in the forest until eventually will get lost, he said, only people who really know the ins and outs of the forest can get through it.
The journey is both very safe, although sometimes through the streets are quiet, but there is no threat of any danger that obstructs their journey both.
In the evening they would make a campfire to spend the night in the wild, this was used by Fang An to practice and add his Qi amount.
In the morning they both resumed their journey, and without feeling they had seen there was a village not far before them.
"It was Yijing Village, the villagers were mostly farmers, and there was no market or lodging in the village, so we didn't have to stop there!" said Luo Ying who was only answered with a nod by Fang An.
The two of them continued their journey by entering the road in the middle of the village with a lot of buildings and meetings.
"That's weird! I passed through this village about six months ago when I returned to Tingsan, at that time the atmosphere in this village was quite crowded, but why is it now so quiet?" said Luo Ying.
"Maybe they're on a busy farm!" replied Fang An.
"I know, but it's not this lonely! There were usually many children and young men and mothers who were busy in this village, but this was really very quiet as the Village just died!" say back Luo Ying.
Fang An looked around him, and it was true, there was not a single person in sight, his name was the busiest village the residents would definitely have people at home, yet this was really very quiet.
"yes too! This village is like a dead village!" said Fang An who finally sensed also as felt by Luo Ying.
"If there's one person we can ask!" luo Ying said as he looked around who knew there was someone he saw.
"We'd better continue on our journey brother!"
"Yes!"
Both of them finally no longer care about the condition of Yijing Village which is very quiet like a dead village, they continue to step up until finally there is a cry of people who shout loudly.
"Catch 'em..!" exclaimed a woman who appeared before Luo Ying and Fang An a short distance away.
Luo Ying and Fang An were both shocked and instantly on standby when they saw countless women coming out carrying things like Wood, Sweep, and other kitchen utensils as weapons.
Everything that came out were the women, from the girls, mothers to the already-grandmothers, all of them headed towards Luo Ying and Fang An with faces looking furious.
"Wait what is this? Why are you suddenly attacking us?" Luo Ying immediately made a sound.
"Are you not the men of the men who brought the husband and all the men of our village to forced labor? You'd better confess and get all our husbands and children back, otherwise we'll catch you both!" said a woman who had previously shouted.
"People who bring men to forced labor? You all misunderstood me, I am from Tinsang Village and want to go to Mount Hunsu, therefore we both pass this Village!" said Luo Ying.
"He must be lying! We'd better catch them and we'll take them hostage in exchange for father and other young men!" said a tall girl with messy hair, but her face was quite pretty.
"Wait a minute, you can't just catch it without providing proof that we're members of the people you mean! We'd better talk about it carefully and allow us to provide proof that we're not members of the people you're referring to!" said Luo Ying who was trying to calm things down.
"Miss and all, I understand your concerns, but try to think carefully, what if we are not the ones you accuse? While we've already harmed you you just found out if it turns out you've all accused the wrong person!"
Everyone looked at each other, if you think about the speech of the young man in front of them there was a point.
"Pacify yourself and tell me what really happened in your village!" luo Ying said while Fang An was only silent because he couldn't possibly argue with adults moreover most of them were mothers.
One of the mothers let out a long sigh and said, "May you not be a member of the people who claim to be the Protector of the People!" said the woman.
"People's Protectors? Who are they?" asked Luo Ying.
Just this time Luo Ying heard there was that name, most likely it was the name of an Organization group.
The woman nodded then explained if the members claiming to be People's Protectors were a group that had suddenly appeared and claimed to be an organization formed by King Chang to protect the people as well help those who need help.
They showed up three months ago, initially they were kind and often gave help, until one day they said that if they get an order from King Chang to make weapons and war equipment, but they need workers as volunteers.
Some people who believe immediately are willing to join the work, because many people already believe in them so that no one feels suspicious at all.
Every two days they came and said that they still needed more workers, and most of all they were men both old and young
While walking for more than a month, all of a sudden a shocking thing happened, some members of the People's Protector raped several women whose husbands worked in their headquarters, when they are finished they proudly show their satisfaction because their lust has been expounded.
It provoked the anger of the villagers, and when the villagers wanted to judge them, suddenly there appeared a large number of cavalry and were fully armed.
From there they all realized that they were not actually members formed by King Chang, but rather rebel groups who wanted to overthrow the Chang Clan and its government.
From then on they began to force all the men both old and young to come with them and do forced labor.
One of the forced workers had managed to escape and managed to go home, but the conditions were very concerning.
The man who managed to escape was a 16-year-old young man, his body was filled with many lash injuries and some were so severe that it was wrestling.
The young man said that if everyone was forced to dig the mines, they would collect copper and metal for weapons, and the weapons would be used by the rebel soldiers to attack Chang Lan City.
The forced laborers were not only from Yijing Village, but from several other villages as well, if one was sick and unable to work, he said, then they will immediately execute him on the spot and his body will be burned in the burning of melted metal.
After giving his testimony, the young man was treated secretly by his mother for three days, after which the young man died of severe injuries.
"Then they are not a People's Protectorate group, but rather a Rebel Group that wants to control this Green Land Continent, but who is the leader of this Rebel Group?"
Luo Ying already knew each of the five Clans, whereas the Chang Clan only had one competitor, namely the Qin Clan, but it was impossible for the Qin Clan to do such a fleeting thing.
Although it was impossible, it was indeed only the Qin Clan that had power on par with the Chang Clan, it could be the Qin Clan that formed this Group, after all, it's just that they're hiding their alibis from being suspected.
"Do you suspect anything?" ask Fang An.
"Okay, but we also have to help these mothers so that their husbands can be free, moreover, we must dismantle all of this so that the government knows if there is a Rebel Group that is secretly building up strength," Luo Ying said.
"We?" Fang An raised his eyebrows.
"Yes us, me and you! Why, don't you want to?" asked Luo Ying.
"It's not so, but are you capable? It seems like a very big problem that should be taken care of by adults as well as the governments!" fang An said.
"The big or small problem, the most important thing is that the government must know this, to do that, no need for moving adults, we as prospective successors of our parents must also be able to do it," said Luo Ying.
Luo Ying was not only a young Cultivator with great Alchemist talent, he was also a young man who was very skilled in strategy as well as politics, considering his father was a Village chief, he was also a very good leader, Luo Ying also had basic knowledge to the government even though it was only a village government science.
