Public Anger

The Ji Tribe Leader was extremely flustered.

Ji Han went to the Great Wilderness Mountains alone to offer the Monster Ape with her body. It was because he and some of his tribesmen had put on a show of bitterness in front of Ji Han.

Moreover, only a few people in the tribe knew the true conditions of the tribute for the Monster Ape. If it was exposed now, it would incur the wrath of the public.

However, he was very calm on the surface. “Ji Fei, isn’t it better now that the child is back? It’s good that she’s safe!”

Ji Han’s father, Ji Fei, softened his attitude and looked at Lu Benwei.

“Little brother, did you save my Han Han?”

Lu Benwei nodded.

“Alright, since you saved my Han Han, my life will be yours in the future.”

Then, he continued to ask, “The Great Wilderness Mountains are full of danger. What did you encounter? Are you hurt?”

When Ji Han heard this, her face darkened, and she stammered.

“It’s the Monster Ape!” Lu Benwei said this fact lightly.

“What?!” Ji Fei was stunned.

At the same time, everyone from the Ji Tribe was shocked.

“Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. The Monster Ape is the spirit of my tribe. Why would it hurt you?” The Ji Tribe Leader shouted angrily. At the same time, his heart involuntarily sped up.

“Han Han, is this true?” Ji Fei asked in shock.

Ji Han nodded slowly. “It’s true. The Monster Ape wanted to hurt me. Fortunately, Hongyi appeared and saved me.”

“Nonsense!”

These words had violated the Ji Tribe’s taboo. Many people raised their fists, wanting to teach Ji Han a lesson. “Ji Han, the Spiritual Lord has protected our tribe for so many years, yet you dare to slander it!”

“Ji Han, the Ji Tribe has raised you for so many years. Is this how you repay us?” someone said angrily.

Some people knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the Great Wilderness Mountains. “Spiritual Lord, please forgive our sins!”

When Lu Benwei saw this scene, he sneered in his heart. He noticed many people in the crowd who knew the truth but deliberately wanted to anger the public, confuse the public, and distort the truth.

A bearded muscular man from the Ji Tribe said, “The war between us and the Jiang Tribe is imminent, and we urgently need the Spiritual Lord’s help. Ji Han, if we lose the war with the Jiang Tribe, can you bear the responsibility?”

“I, I don’t dare,” Ji Han stammered. action

At this moment, Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, “If you don’t admit it now, will there be other Ji tribesmen like you who will be deceived and have a tragedy? You keep saying that you’re thinking for the Ji Tribe, but this will ultimately harm your family and friends!”

Hearing this, Ji Han came to a realization.

Then, her expression turned cold as she stared at the bearded man. “Uncle Bochang, everything I said is true. Someone in our village lied to us. The tribute spirit’s conditions are not some black gold stones!”

After saying that, Ji Han took out the black gold stones from her small leather bag.

“Pa!”

The black gold stones shattered into pieces and splashed everywhere.

The Ji Tribe Leader, Ji Bochang, and a few other members of the Ji Tribe were shocked and panicked.

“Bochang, Bozu, expel Ji Han from the Ji Tribe!”

The Ji Tribe Leader was furious, and his heart was pounding.

“The black gold stones are important items that my tribe is offering to the Spiritual Lord. How can we allow you to trample on them as you wish?”

The bearded Ji Bochang and another brawny man, Ji Bozu, stood up.

“Ji Han, you slandered the Spiritual Lord and destroyed the black gold stones. From now on, you’re no longer a member of the Ji Tribe!”

“Let’s see who dares! Her father is still here. Don’t you take me seriously?” Ji Fei roared. “Ji Fei, are you going to go against the entire tribe for this b*stard?” the bearded Ji Bochang shouted, his temples bulging by half an inch.

“I’ve always felt something fishy about the tribute every year.” Ji Fei sneered. “Now, judging from your reactions, it seems like it’s the same as what I thought!”

Ji Bochang and Ji Bozu’s faces turned cold at the same time.

At the same time, the Ji Tribe Leader’s eyes flashed with malice as he said, “Ji Fei, don’t spout nonsense!”

“Humph!” Ji Fei snorted coldly. “Some people know very well whether I’m talking nonsense or not.”

Pausing for a moment, Ji Fei said to his tribesmen, “My fellow countrymen, please think carefully about why there are always some girls who don’t come back every year when we pay tribute to the Monster Ape. Moreover, none of them are left!”

The expressions of the Ji Tribe Leader, Ji Bochang, and the others changed drastically. At the same time, everyone from the Ji Tribe was in an uproar.

Those Ji Tribe couples who had lost their daughters recalled their sad memories and said, “My girl was timid. How could she say that she’d follow the Tribe Leader and the others to the Great Wilderness Mountains for no reason?”

“Ji Fei, you’re talking nonsense. How could I treat the lives of my tribesmen as a joke?” the Ji Tribe Leader said angrily, “Do you have any evidence?”

Just as he finished speaking, the Ji Tribe Leader’s eyes flashed with malice as he tilted his head slightly. His malicious gaze was immediately seen through by a brawny man beside him. He was using a secret technique to communicate with the Ji Tribe Leader silently.

“What should we do now? If we kill Ji Fei and Ji Han now, our tribesmen will only think that we’re hitting them when they’re down.”

“In my opinion, we should just shoot an arrow in the dark and kill the young man that Ji Han brought back.”

“Understood. I’ll do it now.”

After saying that, that person’s figure quietly led into the darkness.

The Ji Tribe Leader’s gaze returned to the crowd. At this moment, he shuddered violently, feeling as if he was being stared at by an evil ghost. He quickly noticed Lu Benwei.

At this moment, the corners of Lu Benwei’s mouth curled up slightly as he looked at him with a cold smile.

“That’s not right. Can he hear me?” Cold sweat broke out on the Ji Tribe Leader’s forehead. Then, he sneered and dismissed the idea.

“This kid is only the same age as the young people in the tribe. How can he have a spiritual power stronger than mine?”

Then, he said loudly, “Ji Fei, if you have evidence, you can take it out. If this is true, I’m willing to die to atone for my sins!”

Ji Bochang and Ji Bozu also echoed, “If you have any evidence, just take it out!”

Ji Fei was stunned for a moment, and his fists made cracking sounds. Indeed, he did not have any evidence. However, he knew very well that this so-called Ji Tribe Leader was a beast with a human face.

“Since you want evidence, I have it!” Lu Benwei finally spoke.
