Xia Dong hurried over to take a look, but when he arrived, all he found was a puddle of blood and nothing else.
When Xia Dong returned, Fu Shinan had also regained consciousness. She immediately asked, âWhat about the High Priest? Is he dead?â Xia Dong replied, âIâm afraid not. Thereâs nothing in the courtyard but blood.â Fu Shinan clenched her teeth in frustration, he had escaped again!
Even Man Yu hadnât expected this outcome. She exclaimed, âIs he made of steel? I hit him with so many bricks, itâs a wonder his brain didnât splatter out.
How can he still be alive?â
Fu Shinan was about to respond when she suddenly smelled smoke.
Xia Dong took a quick look and said, âThat direction⦠the valley is on fire.
Could something have happened to Brother Ji and the others?â
Fu Shinan urged, âGo check it out, and have Fu Gui guide you!â
Fu Gui barked once, indicating that Xia Dong should follow.
In the room, only a few of them remained. Man Yu finally had the chance to inquire, âWhat happened earlier?â
Fu Shinan, her head throbbing, explained, âI was controlling the High Priestâs body. Otherwise, why do you think he said, âKill meâ? â
Man Yu was shocked. âWhen did you awaken such an incredible ability? I wonder what you would have said at that momentâ¦â
Fu Shinan rubbed her head and said, âLetâs not dwell on that for now. You all need to find something sharp and suitable. Be prepared in case he tries to turn the tables. As long as I donât move, Iâll have control over him, and you must finish him off immediately. Itâs difficult to harm him when Iâm in a struggle for control. Youâre our only hope.â
Everyone nodded in agreement. This time, Man Yu produced a cleaver!
They all remained vigilant, waiting for what would happen next.
Meanwhile, the smoke from the direction of the valley continued to grow thicker. Even from this distance, they could smell it.
Fu Shinan felt anxious but dared not leave.
At this moment, things were chaotic on Ji Zanâs side. They had just arrived and found a fire blazing. Most of the houses were already on fire, obviously set intentionally by someone. However, these people, upon seeing them, mistakenly believed that they were the ones who started the fire. They didnât care about the burning houses and were ready to attack.
Sun Han couldnât tolerate it any longer and released a burst of fire, hoping to drive them away.
To their surprise, this action only intensified the conflict. The old tribe chief incited the people, saying, âLook, theyâre the ones who set the fire! These people are the biggest threatâ¦â
Ji Zan couldnât bring himself to harm these ordinary folks, but they were intent on attacking them. As they gathered in greater numbers, he had no choice but to sternly command, âWe canât retreat any further. Take action and grab some gasoline! â
âNo!â He Zhu intervened, blocking Sun Han and MO Cheng. He knew that both of them possessed special abilities, and these people were no match for them. Once they unleashed their lightning and fire, it would be over. He had watched them grow up, and they were all fellow clanspeople. He couldnât bear it. âBrother Ji, they were deceived. They shouldnât be punished with death! Let me lead you around from the back to avoid themâ¦â
Ji Zan kicked away two men and replied in the midst of the chaos, âLead the way.â
He Zhu immediately guided them, and Ji Zanâs group swiftly departed. These people didnât continue pursuing them, as they had to deal with the fire!
Meanwhile, at this moment, a slender figure sneaked into the old tribe chiefâs courtyard and pushed all the gasoline containers together. Then, using a match, they ignited the gasolineâ¦
He Zhu hadnât yet entered when he saw a massive blaze. His expression turned grim, and he said, âThatâs the old tribe chiefâs courtyard⦠itâs on fire. What about tne gasolineââ
Ji Zan and his group grew even more anxious, their pace quickening. Unexpectedly, they ran into Molly.
âWhy are you here, Molly?â He Zhu looked puzzled.
Molly, with a frightened expression, replied, âBig Brother He Zhu, benefactor, your arrival is truly timely. I came over here to take a bath. But then I heard a loud noise, and the old tribe chiefâs courtyard caught fire. It scared meâ¦â
Upon hearing this, He Zhu grew even more distressed. âIndeed, itâs the old tribe chiefâs courtyard. What can we do now? The gasoline is right there, itâs bound to explode!â
Ji Zan sniffed the air and said, âIndeed, the gasoline has ignited. We donât need to go thereâ¦â Then he turned to He Zhu and asked in the darkness, âDo you have any other sources of water besides the creek?â
He Zhu shook his head, âNone.â
Ji Zan turned his gaze to Molly, his eyes gleaming faintly. âSo, why did you come here to bathe?â
âBecause of the High Priestâs situation. They all blame me, saying that I didnât serve the High Priest well, so I didnât dare go to crowded places⦠I thought there would be fewer people here, so I could fetch some water and wash myself⦠who could have knownâ¦â Molly explained and began to cry.
MO Cheng felt a bit sympathetic. âDonât cry. Itâs an accidental fire. Nobody wanted this to happen..â
