Seeing the village chief's expression, Yang Tian knew there was a chance.
"Young man, you absolutely must not enter the Dark Land!" the village chief said anxiously. "This is the deepest Abyss of Changbai Mountain, the Land of the Devil. Anyone who goes in will die. For centuries, village chiefs have entered but never returned, and the Divine Spirit inside punishes us. If anyone goes in, our villagers will suffer!"
"Oh? So, your village exists to guard this Dark Land?"
Yang Tian asked.
"Exactly, our village's existence is indeed to guard it, preventing anyone from entering the Dark Land for generations."
The village chief said.
"Then you are wrong. No Divine Spirit in the world would casually torment its people. For hundreds of years, you have lived neither as humans nor ghosts. Why would you want such a Divine Spirit?"
Yang Tian retorted.
The village chief fell silent upon hearing this.
