I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Too Clever by Half

Inside a wooden hut.

Old Village Chief stood respectfully, looking at Li Feng before him, his face plastered with a smile. “I wonder what brings Master here?”

His heart was also a little uneasy, his feelings quite complicated.

He’d never had a good impression of the Celestial Messenger, because the young people in the village were all strong laborers, and their numbers were already small. Every year, twenty were taken away, making the village’s development increasingly difficult.

But now he was somewhat hopeful that the messenger would come and take this devil away.

Li Feng glanced at him. Although he wasn’t sure what the Old Village Chief was thinking, he could probably guess. However, he didn’t care. “I want to know, have the young people taken from your village by the Celestial Messenger every year ever returned?”

The Old Village Chief was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, “No.”

Thinking about it now, it was indeed strange. Logically, even if they went to become Apostles, they shouldn’t forget their village!

But for the past ten years, the young people taken away each year had never returned to the village even once. There was definitely a big problem.

“I understand.” Li Feng nodded, then continued, “Is the time the Celestial Messenger comes fixed?”

“Not fixed.” The Old Village Chief shook his head and indicated that the time the messenger came was different every year.

Hearing this, Li Feng wasn’t surprised. He didn’t ask any more questions and left.

He had seen the Apostles of the GBL cult; they were all brainwashed terrorists.

He feared that those young people who were taken away were likely dead.

Two days passed in a flash.

Just when Li Feng was feeling somewhat disappointed and preparing to leave the village…

A GBL Apostle dressed in a black robe arrived at the village.

His face was covered by a hood, and he held a red book in his hand, making it impossible to see his features.

However, Li Feng still recognized him at a glance as a member of the GBL cult. This brought a smile to his face, and he muttered to himself, “It seems that the wait these past few days wasn’t in vain. I’ve finally waited for this guy.”

…

…

The Celestial Messenger looked at the Old Village Chief with an indifferent expression. “Are the people ready?”

He didn’t waste any other words. Recently, a GBL branch had been destroyed, making their lives somewhat difficult.

“We’ve been prepared. I’ll call them over right away.” The Old Village Chief said with fear and trepidation.

The Celestial Messenger nodded. “Hurry up. I don’t have time to waste here.”

Soon.

A group of twenty people stood in front of the GBL Apostle. The Old Village Chief said, “These are the twenty young people our village has prepared.”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the twenty people, among whom was Li Feng.

When he saw Li Feng, his gaze passed over him just like the other young people, as if Li Feng himself was a member of their village.

“Truly an old fox.” Li Feng was very satisfied. Although this Old Village Chief was an ordinary person, having lived for so long, he was quite shrewd and didn’t expose him.

He guessed that the Old Village Chief also knew that these GBL Apostles were not good people. No matter which side won, it would be a good thing for him.

“Well done.” The GBL Apostle was very satisfied with the situation and praised the Old Village Chief. Then he looked at the twenty young people and said, “Follow me!”

“Yes, Messenger.”

The twenty young people, including Li Feng, replied respectfully.

“Wait, Messenger! I want to report something!”

Just as the GBL Apostle was about to leave with Li Feng and the others, a voice rang out.

Within the group.

Everyone’s expression changed.

“Idiot.” The Old Village Chief cursed under his breath and stepped forward. “Messenger, this villager has had a problem with his head since he was a child. I’ll take him back right away.”

Then, he quickly walked to Anglie’s side and whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense, you pig. You’ll get people killed, you know.”

Then, the Old Village Chief pulled Anglie, wanting to take him back to the village.

“Hold on.” At this moment, the GBL Apostle spoke. He looked at Anglie with an indifferent gaze and said, “Tell me, what do you want to report? With me here, no one dares to stop you from speaking.”

◈◈◈

Behind them.

Li Feng’s eyes, as cold as ice, swept towards Anglie. He should have killed this guy back then.

Hearing this, Anglie broke free from the Old Village Chief’s grasp, stood tall, looked at Li Feng with a smug smile, pointed at him, and said, “Messenger, this guy is not from our village. He’s a heretic. I saw him using magic a few days ago.”

“Oh no.”

The Old Village Chief’s heart was filled with despair. He wished he could slap Anglie, this foolish fellow, to death. Didn’t he know how much trouble this would bring to the village?

“Scoundrel! You dare deceive this Apostle? You’re dead!” The GBL Apostle trembled all over upon hearing Anglie’s words.

“Sigh!” Li Feng sighed. After waiting for so many days, was it all wasted?

But the next scene was beyond everyone’s expectations.

The red book in the GBL Apostle’s hand glowed, and a red beam of light suddenly flew out, shooting towards Anglie.

Whoosh.

Blood splattered. Anglie’s heart was pierced directly. His eyes widened, his gaze gradually dispersing. “Wh-why?”

He desperately wanted to ask the Celestial Messenger why he had killed him.

However, because his injuries were too severe, he ultimately couldn’t speak and fell straight to the ground.

He died without understanding what had happened.

“Next time anyone dares to deceive this Apostle, this will be their fate.” The GBL Apostle roared angrily. His heart was pounding, and he was extremely nervous.

A few days ago, while talking with an important figure in the church, he learned that the GBL branch had been destroyed by a heretic.

A heretic of that level could crush him like an ant.

He had only recently joined the GBL cult and wasn’t a die-hard follower. He didn’t want to die here.

So when Anglie said those words, he wanted to tear him to pieces. Wasn’t this trying to get him killed?

“Wise Messenger.” The Old Village Chief’s lips twitched as he spoke, trembling.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, he finally understood Li Feng’s terror. Even if the Apostle knew there was a heretic in the group, he didn’t dare to expose it.

“Yes, next time you must discipline these villagers properly. Loose lips sink ships.” The GBL Apostle nodded, not saying anything more.

If anyone could see his back, they would find that his spine was already drenched in sweat.

He didn’t dare to gamble on whether the heretic in the group was the one who had destroyed the GBL branch a few days ago.

“This guy is quite clever.” Li Feng had been ready to make a move, but now he could only play dumb.

So what if he was discovered?

In this world, ultimately, strength speaks for itself.

“Let’s go. We’ll return to the GBL Main Church now.” The GBL Apostle acted as if he hadn’t seen Li Feng and led the way.

However, one could vaguely see his legs still trembling.

With such a ruthless person in his group, who wouldn’t be afraid?

The other young people in the group were also silent, not daring to speak. It wasn’t that none of them had considered trying to expose Li Feng to gain favor.

But seeing Anglie’s fate, they were very glad they hadn’t done so.

…

…

Back in the village, after they left.

The Old Village Chief glared fiercely at Anglie’s corpse, then ordered, “Throw his body into the woods.”

They had almost been dragged down by a fool like Anglie.

“Yes.” Several villagers said in low voices, hurriedly lifting Anglie’s body and throwing it into the woods.

This way, Anglie’s body would probably be eaten by wild beasts, leaving him with no remains.

But no one objected because this guy had indeed done something wrong.
