Sky Ruler
11. Be prepared to suffer karma!

"Young master!" the Wolf man bent his knees before Liiu Yaoshan with teary eyes.

"I understand how you feel! Now, I will give you a chance to change for the better by asceticism within my 'Heavenly Pagoda! After your beast soul completely disappears, I will free you again! Go far away, and live in peace!"

As Liiu Yaoshan spoke, in the eyes of the human the Wolf emitted a bright light out from Liiu Yaoshan's body.

"Sky Lord!" The Wolfman muttered with quivering lips and sparkling eyes stared in amazement at Liiu Yaoshan.

'The 'Heaven Pagoda' again let out a golden yellow light. This time, the body of the werewolf that had already turned into a human was completely sucked into the 'Pagoda of Heaven' and finally disappeared without a trace.

The condition of the forest that was once dark, and also barren, has now changed drastically. The dried old tree without leaves, now began to look fresh and green leaves began to appear around the branches.

The river whose water had long disappeared, now the water began to flow back, and many fish were jumping towards the surface.

The condition of the forest is now back as usual, after the Wolf man is no longer in power in the forbidden forest.

Many villagers who saw the change of haunted forest to green again, feeling distrustful of their vision.

There were even some people who thought, if it was just a trap from the Wolf demon in order for them to be deceived and enter the forbidden forest. And if they get into the trap, they will automatically be made into a Wolf man's meal that has always threatened the lives of all of them.

"See that! There are people coming out of the forbidden forest!" Shouted one of the citizens pointing towards Liiu Yaoshan.

All the citizens became excited as soon as Liiu Yaoshan stepped his foot out of the forest.

"Wine! That Wolf Demon turned into a human!" there was someone who shouted and accused Liiu Yaoshan as the incarnation of the werewolf.

"Retreat!" Shouted someone acting as the leader of the citizens.

"Stop! I'm not a werewolf!" Liiu Yaoshan shouted out loud.

Everyone stopped their movement. No exception the leader of the crowd, he also stopped his movement.

"lik! You must want to prey on us all!" Shouted the leader.

Liiu Yaoshan took two steps forward before reopening his voice.

"If I were a werewolf, at this close distance, you wouldn't have survived!" Said Liiu Yaoshan which made all the citizens flinch.

"He's right! The Wolf Man is very fast! Once attacked, in a few seconds, we'll all turn into corpses!" Someone said in a serious tone. And the crowd started whispering to each other.

The leader began to venture forward, and shouted to Liiu Yaoshan. "If you're a human, then where is the real werewolf now?"

_Wusshhh!_

Liiu Yaoshan flicked his sleeves, suddenly, a shadow of a man sitting cross-legged appeared in the air.

"Who is he? I've never seen him!" The screams began to be heard in the crowd.

To avoid unnecessary prejudice, Liiu Yaoshan explained who the shadow of the man was to the citizens.

"I accidentally, have managed to lock up a werewolf. The forest is safe now! You can enter the forest, whenever you want!"

"Boaster! You might want to knock us all out!" Shouted a man.

"As for you, believe it or not, I won't insist." Liiu Yaoshan replied calmly.

The leader came back, and raised his hand so that no one would speak.

"Young master! How will you guarantee our safety, should we enter the forbidden forest area?" The leader seemed to be starting to believe Liiu Yaoshan's words.

Since the forest area is controlled by Wolfmen, villagers often experience a long famine due to not being able to find food in their village.

The forbidden forest was the only place they could cross to reach another village.

Since ancient times, their village is famous for the skills of the women making bags, and also mats from the materials they get from the forest. After the existence of the werewolves, they never again entered the forest in search of materials. As a result, their economy becomes stagnant, even to shop at the market though, they do not have enough money.

"As long as you don't ruin what's inside, you'll be fine!" Liiu Yaoshan.

"What do you mean, young master?" The village leader looked puzzled by Liiu Yaoshan's reply.

"I mean, you can take advantage of everything in the forest, but you can't destroy it."

"Heyy, young master! All the women here work as craftsmen. And we, it is common to take the ingredients in the forest. If we can't break it, how are we gonna make the craft if that's how it works?" A middle-aged man asked seriously

Liiu Yaoshan smiled, then replied to the middle-aged man.

"Destructive and exploiting, obviously very different. If it breaks, you will cut down the tree, take what you need, and leave the rest. While by utilizing, you just take as necessary, and let the tree grow, then return to take the results later."

All the citizens who heard, felt that Liiu Yaoshan's words made a lot of sense. None of them dared to doubt Liiu Yaoshan.

"What about the Demon? I heard, in the forbidden forest, there are many demons roaming around." asked one resident.

"Nothing! Other than the werewolves, there were no more demons there!" liiu Yaoshan.

"Are you sure, young master?" Residents are still afraid of the rumored stealth threat occupying every corner in the forest.

"I'm sure! Other than wild beasts, there is nothing else you need to fear! Whether it's a snake demon, a wolf, or another demon. You're safe! You no longer need to be afraid to go in there! But I'm sending you a message, if you ever enter the forest, and meet a beast, don't kill them. As long as they don't attack, and hurt you, just avoid it! They have the same rights, with you. They also want to live, though sometimes, the way they survive by using violence!" Liiu Yaoshan said at length.

"Then what, if we kill them?" The other residents opened their voices out of curiosity.

Liiu Yaoshan glanced at the resident who spoke, then smiled coldly.

"If you kill them, then be prepared to endure karma!"
