The situation unfolded just as everyone had guessed. The village chief had no one else to rely on, so the only choice now was to have the martial artists present deal with the corpse inside the coffin.
And it was the village chief's request.
Everyone had no other options. If they wanted to proceed to the Spiritual Qi-filled mountain peak ahead, they had to overcome this hurdle.
Very soon, someone volunteered and stepped forward.
Two strong, burly men emerged from a small group of martial artists.
The leader of this small group was a somewhat flamboyant young man.
He wore an exaggerated white robe, covering himself tightly, only revealing his eyes which darted around.
These two subordinates were summoned by him.
Several small groups had already reached a consensus earlier. Whoever solved the issue here first could be the first to gain access to the mountains. As for the scattered martial artists, they had no say and could only let these groups make decisions together.
