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, “What about the High Priest? Is he dead?” Xia Dong replied, “I’m afraid not. There’s nothing in the courtyard but blood.” Fu Shinan clenched her teeth in frustration, he had escaped again!

Even Man Yu hadn’t expected this outcome. She exclaimed, “Is he made of steel? I hit him with so many bricks, it’s a wonder his brain didn’t splatter out.

How can he still be alive?”

Fu Shinan was about to respond when she suddenly smelled smoke.

Xia Dong took a quick look and said, “That direction… the valley is on fire.

Could something have happened to Brother Ji and the others?”

Fu Shinan urged, “Go check it out, and have Fu Gui guide you!”

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, “What happened earlier?”

Fu Shinan, her head throbbing, explained, “I was controlling the High Priest’s body. Otherwise, why do you think he said, ‘Kill me’? ”

Man Yu was shocked. “When did you awaken such an incredible ability? I wonder what you would have said at that moment…”

Fu Shinan rubbed her head and said, “Let’s 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 don’t move, I’ll have control over him, and you must finish him off immediately. It’s difficult to harm him when I’m in a struggle for control. You’re our only hope.”

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 Zan’s 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 didn’t care about the burning houses and were ready to attack.

Sun Han couldn’t 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, “Look, they’re the ones who set the fire! These people are the biggest threat…”

Ji Zan couldn’t 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, ‘We can’t retreat any further. Take action and grab some gasoline! ”

“No!” 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 couldn’t bear it. “Brother Ji, they were deceived. They shouldn’t be punished with death! Let me lead you around from the back to avoid them…”

Ji Zan kicked away two men and replied in the midst of the chaos, “Lead the way.”

He Zhu immediately guided them, and Ji Zan’s group swiftly departed. These people didn’t continue pursuing them, as they had to deal with the fire!

Meanwhile, at this moment, a slender figure sneaked into the old tribe chief’s courtyard and pushed all the gasoline containers together. Then, using a match, they ignited the gasoline…

He Zhu hadn’t yet entered when he saw a massive blaze. His expression turned grim, and he said, “That’s the old tribe chief’s courtyard… it’s on fire. What about tne gasoline”‘

Ji Zan and his group grew even more anxious, their pace quickening. Unexpectedly, they ran into Molly.

“Why are you here, Molly?” He Zhu looked puzzled.

Molly, with a frightened expression, replied, “Big 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 chief’s courtyard caught fire. It scared me…”

Upon hearing this, He Zhu grew even more distressed. “Indeed, it’s the old tribe chief’s courtyard. What can we do now? The gasoline is right there, it’s bound to explode!”

Ji Zan sniffed the air and said, “Indeed, the gasoline has ignited. We don’t need to go there…” Then he turned to He Zhu and asked in the darkness, “Do you have any other sources of water besides the creek?”

He Zhu shook his head, “None.”

Ji Zan turned his gaze to Molly, his eyes gleaming faintly. “So, why did you come here to bathe?”

“Because of the High Priest’s situation. They all blame me, saying that I didn’t serve the High Priest well, so I didn’t 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 known…” Molly explained and began to cry.

MO Cheng felt a bit sympathetic. “Don’t cry. It’s an accidental fire. Nobody wanted this to happen..”
