In less than three minutes, Fade had exited the tomb and his vision brightened up. Only then did he realize that he was completely surrounded.

Judging from their clothes, they were villagers from the nearby area and among them was Marilyn, the witch whom Fade had slapped the night before. There were even a few burly men beside her as they gave him an unfriendly stare.

Fade looked around and noticed that Hassad, Yankee, and Hallim were gagged and tied up in the tents. They were furious but couldn't speak at all.

"What are you doing?" Fade's eyes turned cold as soon as he saw this. He glared fiercely at Marilyn and the others.

The villagers were still quite afraid of him after their encounter the night before. When they saw him glaring at them, they retreated with fear on their faces.

When Marilyn saw this, she spoke up and said, "Don't be afraid of him. This is our territory. We don't need their permission to do anything."

Upon hearing this, the villagers calmed down and surrounded him once more.

Upon seeing this, killing intent flashed through Fade's eyes. He glared at Marilyn with energy surging in his palm. "I'll kill you if you continue to bewitch them," he warned.

She unexpectedly looked righteous and in the face of Fade's threat, she stood still without any intention of dodging. Instead, she looked like she wanted to die a hero. She glared at him and said, "You can kill me but you can't stop everyone from talking. As long as we're here, you'll never be able to destroy the Feng Shui of the village."

It seemed that everyone was cheered on by her spirit. Many villagers swarmed up and stood out with their heads held high as if they wanted to fight till the end.

"Don't think about touching this ancient tomb without our permission!" One of the villagers yelled.

"I don't believe you dare to kill us all," another exclaimed.

"My nephew is from the state police station. If you lay a hand on us, the police won't let you off at all," a third supported.

Upon seeing this, Fade's eyes grew cold. He looked at the many villagers and spoke coldly, "What do you all want?"

The villagers were indignant and they started to

shout.

"We want you to get the hell out of here," they shouted in unison.

"We want to restore the ancient tomb!" Another demanded.

"By the way, the professor must stay as a sacrifice to the Goddess Lunar so that she may continue manifesting," Marilyn said.

As they were talking, the burly men beside Marilyn started to walk over to Hassad and were about to act.

Fade's expression darkened when he saw this. He shouted fiercely before striking out with his palm. The burly men were sent flying as he shouted again, "I'll kill anyone who dares to come close!" At that moment, the villagers were intimidated by his momentum.

However, Marilyn rolled her eyes. She shouted at the villagers and said, "He's deliberately destroying our Feng Shui so that our village will continue to rot. We won't rest until this matter is resolved." The villagers immediately shouted after her.

"Do not destroy our Feng Shui!"

"This is our right, you can't violate it."

"We must protect the benefits of our village!"

"You're still bewitching them. I'll kill you!" Fade shouted at Marilyn with killing intent. The energy in his palm surged and he was about to strike.

As soon as she saw this, fear flashed across her eyes. However, she didn't escape. Instead, she spoke in an arrogant and cold voice, "Even if you kill me, you can't shut our mouths."

"Is that so! Then I'll kill you!" Fade was unrestrained and stepped forward. He then proceeded to strike down with his energy filled palm.

At that moment, an extremely powerful pressure covered her and it terrified her. She almost crumbled to the ground and there was a look of hopelessness in her eyes as her expression grew anxious. At that moment, a voice sounded behind him, "Fade, stop!"

Upon hearing the voice, Fade turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Hassad. He had somehow removed the gag and was shouting with a flushed expression.

"Hassad, she's bewitching everyone with her words. These matters can't be settled if I don't kill her," Fade said.

Hassad rebutted, "Fade, we're here for archeology. We must explain what they don't understand. We mustn't use force, let alone kill someone."

"But..." Fade's face was filled with anger and unwillingness.

However, Hassad's face was solemn. "Fade, I know you mean well but please listen to me. Don't kill anyone," he pleaded.

After a few seconds of silence, Fade retracted his hand and glared fiercely at Marilyn. He then proceeded to where Hassad and the rest were tied up and released them.

Hassad walked over to the villagers after stretching his body.

He glanced at them and explained, "Dear villagers, I'm a professor from the College of Archeology in Capital City. This ancient tomb is considered a relic and has nothing to do with the feng shui of the village. I ask that you not be fooled. Archeology is a very important cultural research job..."

He spoke sincerely and tried his best to explain the importance of archeology.

However, the villagers couldn't understand him and didn't believe him either.

"Hassad, we know you're a scholar. However, we don't know anything about archeology or relics. All we know is that this ancient tomb belongs to our village and you can't touch it," one of the villagers said. "That's right, maybe the one buried inside is our ancestor. You're digging up our ancestor's grave and we won't allow it," another added.

"Hassad, you keep saying that the ancient tomb has nothing to do with Feng Shui or luck. However, ever since you started the excavation, Goddess Lunar didn't manifest anymore. How do you explain this?" A third questioned him.

"Those were all just coincidences. There isn't any evidence to prove that they're related!" Hassad tried to explain.

However, it obviously wasn't working.

"Why aren't they related? It's so obvious, it's definitely related!"

"We've seen the Goddess Lunar manifest countless times. How could it be fake?"

"Even if they aren't related, I feel uncomfortable about you digging up my ancestor's grave!"

"This, I..." Hassad wanted to continue explaining but the other party had lost interest and started to cause a commotion.

"Anyway, you can't continue the excavation," the villagers said.

"You have to apologize," another followed.

"You must go to the temple of the Goddess Lunar and kowtow," a third demanded.

Hassad's face was filled with helplessness as he listened to the villager's commotion.

Fade's expression was solemn as he suddenly shouted, "All of you, shut up!"

It was like the sound of thunder. With a loud bang, all of the villagers were instantly intimidated. The scene fell silent and everyone looked at him.
