My Martial Spirit is Nanobot

Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Hope & Curse

After a while,

Seeing their silent expression as if everyone accepted their fate, a surprise flashed through Lin Lee's eyes.

'It's unbelievable. What kind of secret is hidden in the village that they are willing to sacrifice everything in order to keep the secrecy?'

Lin Lee thought to himself and then raised his hand.

All the nanobots flying daggers retracted in his hand and disappeared.

Surprising all of the villagers around, including the Village Chief,

Lin Lee glanced at them deeply, then shook his head and landed on the ground below, turned around, and walked away toward the forest.

"Please wait," Instantly, a voice sounded behind him.

Lin Lee's footsteps halted; he turned around and glanced at the figure who just called him.

"Can you tell us, despite being stronger than us, even knowing there is a secret in the village, you also know about the treasure that concealed our village; why did you spare us?" The figure asked, looking at him deeply, and flew forward a little.

Lin Lee shook his head and replied, "It's nothing; it's just that even if I am not a good person, I am not some lowly scum."

The Villagers were surprised hearing Lin Lee reply, and then all of them landed on the ground. They moved forward, and then all of them patted their chests with their own fists and bowed, "Please forgive our rudeness, your excellency; if you don't mind, you can stay in our village."

"Oh, why are you apologizing, and why did you change your mind?" Lin Lee asked calmly, looking at them strangely.

"Your excellency, You showed us kindness by sparing our village; we want to repay that kindness; it's our village rule to repay every kindness; I am village Chief Niu Hu."

The main figure among them replied and introduced himself and then further explained about their village: "Everyone in our village has Niu surname, including the name of our village, which is named after Niu surname."

The village chief spoke and then introduced the four companions around him as Niu Yi, Niu Han, Niu Li, and Niu Hong also introduced the village customs.

"Please follow us." The village chief spoke and turned around and walked forward toward the village; others also nodded at Lin Lee's direction calmly and walked toward the village.

Lin Lee glanced at their backs strangely.

'Are these guys idiots? I threatened them and then spared them; where is kindness in my act?.'

He thought and then followed them, and then he asked suspiciously, "What kindness; I just didn't do what I wanted to do."

Instantly, the figures in front of him were surprised. The village chief turned and glanced at Lin Lee's expression.

'He is very young; I didn't expect we would encounter a young king, probably a heavenly genius.'

"Our ancestors used to say that sparing life is the highest level of kindness; you have chosen to spare our village instead of annihilation; it in itself is an act of kindness, even if you did it on a whim or change of heart." The village chief explained calmly. Lin Lee raised his brow thoughtfully.

'Did he just say even sparing on a whim and change of heart is kindness? Well, I shouldn't do that in the future.'

Lin Lee thought to himself and followed them inside the village after passing through the invisible veil covering the whole village.

As if all of them appeared in another realm,

Lin Lee glanced around, looking at a huge greenish hilly area with a lot of mountain and village houses and a lot of figures flying around between them.

'This realm is created by the king.' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the huge tower floating in the middle of this realm, which is stabilizing and concealing this realm.

"You had a king in your village. Where is he?" Lin Lee asked calmly, looking at Village Chief,

Sigh!!!

Village Chief sighed and then glanced at the king tower deeply and replied, "We are descendants of kings; this realm is established to conceal the secret of heaven and earth; there is no king now; all our ancestors are buried in this realm; just a few old immortal spirits left behind."

Lin Lee raised his brow, looking at the village chief. 'It seems he didn't allow me inside the village because of some kindness, but he has another purpose.'

"What is the secret of heaven and earth hidden inside this realm? Can you elaborate?" Lin Lee asked curiously,

"Village Chief!!!" Instantly the villager beside the village chief called him; they all looked at the village chief hesitatingly; they didn't want him to reveal a secret to the outsiders.

The village chief gave them a glance; instantly they fell silent, and then he glanced at the Lin Lee and solemnly spoke, "It's taboo to reveal the village secret to the outsiders, but for your excellency, I will make an exception, because I know you are a young king, and I want you to take away the secret from us."

"What? a young king." Instantly the villager around the leader exclaimed, their hearts trembling. Looking at Lin Lee with dread, they didn't expect the one they were threatening to be a king.

Lin Lee furrowed his brow looking at the Village Chief and then said, "If it's a useless secret, I won't show any interest in it, but if it's useful, then I will consider taking it away."

The village chief nodded and then said, "Please, your excellency, follow me." After speaking, he walked forward. The other villager stood silently and didn't dare to move before Lin Lee.

Lin Lee nodded and followed the Village Chief; after a while, they reached the middle of the secret realm, near a huge arena.

Lin Lee brow raised looking at the huge arena, and some young men were fighting above it; they are all great immortals, except a few among them are true immortals.

Lin Lee glanced through them and then glanced at the arena below their feet, which is flickering with runes and absorbing the blood essence of young people fighting above it.

"Your excellency, as you have noticed, the secret of our village lays below this arena," the village chief spoke, looking at the arena, and then his expression became solemn, he added.

"In order to preserve the secret, our generation by generation has been giving our best; because of that sacrifice, our future generations are becoming weaker and weaker. I can foresee that in the distant future we will lose everything, including the secret and our generation."

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Lee, then said, "I just want your excellency to take this secret away; if you aren't interested, then please destroy it for us."

"Oh, if I am not interested in the secret, then what will I get in return after destroying it? I can't help you for free." Lin Lee asked thoughtfully, looking at the village chief,

Instantly, Village Chief fell silent and then pointed at the king tower in the sky, "We will offer you that tower in return for your help."

"Village Chief! You can't…" Instantly the villagers around were shocked, and they wanted to say something.

Village Chief raised his hand and stopped them; instantly everyone fell silent unwillingly.

Lin Lee glanced at them and then turned and looked at the king tower above the arena.

'Well, a king's treasure is a good compensation,'

Lin Lee thought and then nodded, looking at the village chief, and said, "Well, I will accept this reward; now lead the way toward the secret realm."

"Please come with me." The village chief spoke and appeared near the piller at the edge of the arena.

He put his hand on the piller; instantly blood essence flowed out of his hand, and red veins covered the whole piller.

Lin Lee raised his brow, seeing the Village Chief's hairs turning gray and his life essence reducing at an alarming rate.

'What's inside this formation? It's really sucking their life and potential,' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the piller completely turned red,

Bang!!!

Instantly the piller separated in the middle and an invisible door appeared, while the villager and the young people on the arena were looking at the village chief's gray, white hair and old appearance unwillingly.

"Please, your excellency, we aren't allowed to go inside; it will devour us upon stepping inside; only outsider bloodlines can go inside." The village chief spoke, retracted his trembling hand from the piller, and took deep breaths to stabilize his condition.

Lin Lee nodded and then walked inside the door; upon entering inside, he appeared in another separate realm.

The door behind him closed instantly, and the piller in front of the villager leader and other villagers also closed and restored as before.

"Village Chief, will he be able to do it? Even though we don't know what is inside this secret realm, there may be a huge danger; that's why our ancestors forbade us to go inside." The villagers asked, hesitatingly looking at their leader,

The village chief shook his head and replied, "We can only hope that he will free us from this curse."

Hearing the village chief's words, all the villager around fell silent.
