The Village Chief's name was Tamati, and he confessed why he let him wait instead of meeting him directly. He tried to provoke him to attack him, so he could show off his power to Tang Shaoyang. He hoped Tang Shaoyang would inform his faction to recruit him and the villagers. They wanted to get out of the tower and get a second chance.
Tamati also shared the reason why he was inside the Dimensional Tower. His Ancestor lost in a battle and their world was taken over. In spite, his Ancestors would rather get jailed inside the tower than live in the same world with their enemy or even listen to their orders and rules.
