The village head became anxious after realizing that the nobles in front of him were from the War Prince's Mansion. Seeing Xiao Yu recklessly intervening, he immediately ordered people to restrain Xiao Yu.
"Village head, you can't betray us and help outsiders instead of your own villagers. Ugh, let go of me, you bastards, bullying an orphan like me. You'll all die miserably. Just wait until my two uncles return, you're doomed."
Xiao Yu's hands were twisted behind his back and pressed down tightly by several strong men, his face half against the ground. He continued to shout defiantly, hoping the village head would change his mind and not let these outsiders cut down his family's locust tree.
His angry protests were in vain, and soon, the huge locust tree was chopped down by several strong men...
"Boom...!"
The towering locust tree, over ten meters tall, fell to the ground with a crash.
Strangely, a trace of blood seeped out from the base of the tree.
