”No wonder Hu Guangtian failed.”

Cui Mingsha frowned. ”Are we just going to let this matter go?”

They had managed to cover it up for now, but if word got out, it would be a major blow to their Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau.

”There’s nothing we can do about it.”

”The situation in Nanyuan County... seems to be getting worse.”

”We might need you to go personally, Director Cui.”

Li Yuanqing said with a bitter smile.

Cui Mingsha felt that handling it this way was disgraceful.

But the situation in Yuan Province was indeed grim. Fires of rebellion were flaring up, and with uprisings constantly breaking out across the counties, he was completely tied down.

He pondered for a moment before saying helplessly, ”Then wait until I’ve dealt with that Zhang Cang... We’ll settle the rest of the score after that.”

Li Yuanqing cupped his fists. ”The Director is wise!”

....

Atop the city walls of Nanyuan County Town, two figures stood quietly.

”Zhang Cang... the Director of the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau is going to make a move personally.”

”We’re no match for him... Let’s just run.”

”As long as we escape back to Cangshui County, we’ll be fine.”

Huang Xian’Er urged.

Since their uprising and conquest of Nanyuan County, they had already repelled several waves of attacks from the Province Soldiers.

But this time, they had unexpectedly alerted the Director of the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau.

To become the Director of the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau, one had to be at least a Gang Essence Martial Artist.

And his combat prowess was definitely far greater than that of an ordinary Gang Essence Martial Artist.

Zhang Cang had only just broken through to the Three Souls Abnormal People Realm. Compared to Cui Mingsha, he was still an entire major realm behind.

It was safe to say Zhang Cang didn’t stand a chance.

”We can leave... but what about the common people who rose up with us?”

”And what about the Martial World Wanderers who, like us, joined our cause so that the people could survive?”

Zhang Cang said softly.

These days, more and more like-minded people had gathered around him.

It made Zhang Cang realize he wasn’t the only one who cared about the common folk.

Hearing this, Huang Xian’Er said helplessly, ”I knew you were going to say that.”

Zhang Cang smiled and turned to look at Nanyuan County Town.

Thanks to his efforts, the people of Nanyuan County would at least not starve to death.

But he knew that if he failed, everything would return to how it was before.

Therefore, throughout this process, Zhang Cang had never felt lost; instead, his spirit had gradually grown resolute.

”No matter what, I have to defend this place.”

Zhang Cang said in a low voice.

”But some things can’t be accomplished with determination alone,” Huang Xian’Er said, exasperated.

Zhang Cang said, ”I’ve been studying Arrays lately... If I can set up a Grand Array in Nanyuan County Town, not even Cui Mingsha himself could necessarily break through it.”

Huang Xian’Er’s eyes lit up. ”That’s right! How could I forget? You’re an Abnormal Person, you can borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth.”

But then she frowned. ”But do we have enough time? Even if you succeed in setting up the array, can it really stop Cui Mingsha?”

Zhang Cang said softly, ”I can’t give you an answer to any of that... I only know that success depends on human effort.”

”As long as I try my absolute best.”

”Even if I die, I will have no regrets.”

......

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.

「Changtan Town.」

It was a large, relatively prosperous town with a population of tens of thousands.

On this particular night, Old Huang, the Night Watchman, was patrolling the streets and sounding the watch as usual.

CLANG~~~

”The weather is dry, beware of fire!!!”

Old Huang struck his Copper Gong and yelled at the top of his lungs.

After autumn arrived, the weather had become dry, and a series of fires had broken out in Changtan Town. He heard that many people had been burned to death.

Even Old Huang the Night Watchman had been scolded a few times, so tonight he had to shout a bit louder.

’I hope there are no more fires tonight, or I’ll get another earful tomorrow.’

Old Huang muttered to himself.

After making a round through the town, he was a bit tired and found a random spot to sit down and drink some water.

It wasn’t long until dawn. He could go home and rest after waiting a little longer.

”Fire!!!”

”Help! Put out the fire!!!”

”AHHHH!!!”

A cacophony of voices erupted in the distance.

Startled, Old Huang looked up toward the distance.

He saw a crimson glow rising into the sky, accompanied by thick black smoke.

”How is there another fire?!”

Old Huang’s expression changed. He hurriedly grabbed his clapper and Copper Gong and ran toward the fire to check.

When he arrived at the scene, he was completely stunned.

The fire had already spread across the entire street. Like a giant Fire Dragon, it burned the sky crimson.

Countless people were wailing and screaming inside their homes.

”Help me!!!”

A person engulfed in flames rushed out of a burning house.

Seeing this, Old Huang hastily dodged out of the way.

’If that person grabs me, I’ll literally be playing with fire.’

”It hurts... Help me!!!”

The person rolled frantically on the ground, letting out continuous, agonizing screams.

Although Old Huang pitied the person, there was nothing he could do.

Seeing the fire growing more and more out of of control, he turned and ran.

If he didn’t run now, he was afraid he would be engulfed in the sea of flames as well.

And by then, it would be too late to escape.

Soon, the great fire grew even more terrifying, truly transforming into a Fire Dragon that rampaged wildly through Changtan Town.

In a very short time, the entire town was transformed into a sea of fire, a terrifying sight like Purgatory itself.

....

「During the past two months.」

Han Yuan had been diligently cultivating at the Cangshui County Observatory.

Although his Cultivation speed wasn’t as terrifying as it was in the Spiritual Land, his two newly learned Martial Arts had progressed significantly thanks to his relentless grinding.

Host: Han Yuan

Innate Great Demon Skill: Eleventh Layer (156/7000)

Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber: Minor Success (563/5000)

Celestial Spirit Divine Fist: Minor Success (367/5000)

Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill: Perfection (Invincible Vajra)

Black Whale Oversea Skill: Perfection (Transformed Whale)

....

Both the Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber and the Celestial Spirit Divine Fist had broken through to the Minor Success Realm.

Han Yuan was quite satisfied with the progress of these two Martial Arts.

But the progress of his Innate Great Demon Scripture made him a bit worried.

Although the Innate Great Demon Scripture had reached the Eleventh Layer, he was still a long way from the Innate Realm.

’It would be great if I could cultivate in a Spiritual Land for a few years...’

’At this rate of cultivation, it might take five or six years to break through to the Innate Realm, if I’m even able to.’

Han Yuan frowned.

Just then, Zhai Mu walked in with a panicked expression.

”Director, something’s happened to Yuanhu!”

Hearing this, Han Yuan frowned. ”Don’t panic. Tell me slowly.”

”Yuanhu was seriously injured on a mission. He was just carried back.”

Zhai Mu said urgently.

”Take me to him,” Han Yuan said in a low voice.

The two of them quickly left the main hall and headed towards the Celestial Phenomena Tribe.

Zhou Yuanhu’s injuries were too severe for an ordinary physician to handle. They could only rely on the methods of Abnormal People to see if he could be saved.

Before long, Han Yuan followed Zhai Mu into the main hall of the Celestial Phenomena Tribe.

He saw Old Yan picking up a wine gourd to take a drink.

He seemed very weak, only recovering slightly after a sip of wine.

”You’re just in time. His life has been saved.”

Han Yuan said softly, ”Thank you for your trouble.”

”Don’t mention it.”

”But this guy’s injuries are indeed very serious.”

”His life is safe, but I don’t know when he’ll wake up.”

Old Yan shook his head.

Han Yuan nodded and walked deeper into the hall.

There, a person covered in bandages and adorned with talismans lay unconscious on an Ice Bed.

’Burns...’

Han Yuan smelled the stench of burnt flesh.

”Director Han, they are indeed burns.”

”When Yuanhu was found, his entire body was charred black.”

”It’s hard to imagine how he survived.”

Zhai Mu sighed.

”What kind of mission was Zhou Yuanhu on? Tell me everything.”

Han Yuan asked softly.

”Over the past half-month, fires have been breaking out continuously in the villages and towns of Cangshui County.”

”And these fires are unusually strange. Once they start, they are abnormally fierce and spread rapidly. Entire towns are turned to ash... and the vast majority of the people are burned alive.”

”Yuanhu suspected that Evil Spirits were behind these fires, so he went to investigate.”

”Unexpectedly, this happened.”

Zhai Mu explained.

”Fires... Evil Spirits...”

Han Yuan narrowed his eyes.
