"It's all your fault for harming our children. Return our children!"

When they saw Jiang Li return, many families who had lost their children glared at him.

Some people stepped forward to question Jiang Li, and they even stretched out their hands with the intention of attacking him.

However, before their hands could touch Jiang Li, a terrifying pressure erupted from his body, and it carried a wave of air that directly overturned thousands of people.

Pure-blooded dragon, the aura of the Human Emperor, and the Asura's Will fused under Jiang Li's mental pressure, pressing this group of Four Hands to the ground like mud.

Many people rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth. If not for the fact that Jiang Li had already deliberately restrained himself, he would have crushed them all into mush.

They did not dare to resent Granny Nether Mountain, who had really captured the child, but wanted to blame Jiang Li. Did they think he was easy to bully?

Jiang Li sympathized with them for having their children captured just now, but that was not a reason for them to be rude to him.

In terms of terror, he was not necessarily inferior to that Granny Nether Mountain!

"Lord… please put away your divine power!"

It was not until more than ten breaths later that Jiang Li slowly restrained his aura. The remaining few people who barely maintained their consciousness were like drowning people returning to the shore, and they felt as if they had been reborn.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Under his pressure, only a few village chiefs could barely maintain their consciousness.

After the pressure disappeared, they panted and got up from the ground with difficulty.

However, they did not dare to be disrespectful anymore.

With a humiliated expression, they began to explain to Jiang Li about Granny Nether Mountain.

"Lord, this so-called ceremony is actually a sacrifice. The warriors in our village are actually… sacrifices!"

It turned out that 500 years ago, the Four Hands relied on their tenacious life and hardworking nature to live quite well on this land.

Back then, the population even exceeded a million.

However, at some point, a powerful ghost suddenly occupied the mountain.

Then, they frequently brought the ghosts down the mountain to plunder children.

The Four Hands who did not have reliable cultivation methods could not fight back at all.

In their grief, the children were taken away in waves.

Such a long-term calamity caused the population of the Four Hands to plummet. It would not be long before they were completely wiped out.

Later on, under extreme helplessness, the patriarch of the Four Hands brought people to ignite a raging fire under the Back Yin Mountain and negotiated with Granny Nether Mountain as a mortal.

As sheep that could be slaughtered at any time, there was not much room for negotiation. The negotiation process was naturally very humiliating.

It was impossible to make Granny Nether Mountain and the ghosts on the mountain give up on eating people.

If they continued to eat like this, the Four Hands would be completely extinct in 30 years. The threat of losing their food was used against them.

In the end, they made Granny Nether Mountain agree to not easily attack their children.

As for the Four Hands, they also had to set up a brazier at the foot of the Netherworld Mountain. They had to keep the brazier burning.

Every time the flames in the brazier were about to be extinguished, they would choose strong Four Hands to throw fuel in.

The ones that fell on the way were sacrifices to Granny Nether Mountain.

Over the years, this condition caused the number of Four Hands to decrease. Up until now, there were less than ten thousand.

However, they did not dare to disobey.

They also had to call the clansmen who went to light the brazier heroes and let them die in honor.

However, the truth was only spread among the village leaders.

As time passed, the young people and children gradually forgot the truth. Their dream since young was to obtain first place for their village in the ceremony.

This was the origin of the Four Hands' human sacrifice.

Jiang Li's actions caused no one to die during the process of adding fuel.

One had to know that adding fuel to the brazier was only a reason and excuse to deceive themselves. The true goal was to make the young men in the village take the initiative to die as sacrifices.

Jiang Li saved the sacrifice and broke the agreement they had made with Granny Nether Mountain for 500 years.

Therefore, the Mountain Ghosts descended and plundered, directly taking away all the Four Hands' children.
