Chapter 50
After Wen Wan finished speaking to everyone, she felt her clothes being gently tugged. Looking down, she saw Xiao Hua looking at her with teary eyes: "Divine Envoy, are Brother Fan and the others leaving? Are you going with them too?"
Little Flower was reluctant to part with her newly made friends, and she also didn't want the divine messenger to leave.
She selfishly thought that it would be better if the divine messenger could help them solve the village's problems before leaving. However, the divine messenger had already helped them a lot. Her brother said that it was the divine messenger who healed him, which allowed him to return safely.
"Little Flower, I won't leave yet. Let your Brother Fan and the others go back first. I'll go back later." Wen Wan squatted down, patted Little Flower's head, and patiently explained.
Xiaohua's expression instantly brightened.
“That won’t do. You only have one chance to leave. You should come with us.” Mo Qingyin was the first to object, and Liu Qingqing nodded in agreement.
Wen Wan comforted him, pretending to be nonchalant, "That's because you only have one chance to leave. It's not me; I have my own way of leaving."
Liu Qingqing was about to say something when Wen Wan interrupted her: "As you can see, the situation in the village is not optimistic. You also know that I have a special status here, so I have to do something for the villagers. You can't help here, and the atmosphere here is also a kind of pollution for your cultivation, so you must leave first."
Just kidding, we finally managed to get them to leave, we can't just let it go to waste.
Liu Qingqing felt a pang of guilt.
It's because she's an incompetent and useless team leader. Since falling into this place, she hasn't been able to help at all. It's all thanks to Junior Sister Wen's sacrifices for them. Even if she wanted to stay and help, she might end up dragging Junior Sister down.
Liu Qingqing took out a ring from her space and handed it to Wen Wan: "This is my only top-grade defensive item. I don't know if you can use it. Anyway, we'll wait for you outside. You must come out."
"No need, I have plenty of props..."
Just as she was about to politely refuse, Liu Qingqing stopped her from continuing: "Although you know the situation here better than we do, just in case it comes in handy, you can return it to me after we leave."
"Alright." Having said that, Wen Wan accepted it.
Seeing that Wen Wan accepted it, Liu Qingqing felt much relieved, as it at least proved that Junior Sister Wen had a way to get out.
Seeing that the others were about to reach into their pockets, Wen Wan quickly stopped them: "No, you can keep the props. Give them to me if you don't need them. They'll still be in the Burial Ground after we get out. If there's any other danger, you can still use them."
"I feel really bad about it. Give each of you 100 high-grade spirit stones after we leave."
Wenwan instantly transformed into a little money-grubber.
"High-grade spirit stones? 100 of them? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Wang Jinyan was immediately beaten for saying this.
"What, is your life not worth 100 high-grade spirit stones?" Fan Kaiyu retorted. "Junior Sister Wen, if he doesn't pay, we will. Let him stay here."
The others nodded in agreement.
Wang Jinyan curled his lip: "Tch, it's just 100 high-grade spirit stones, I'll pay."
He didn't want to stay in this hellish place; he wanted to get out first.
"It's settled then. After we get out, each of us will receive 100 high-grade spirit stones."
Wen Wan: Wow, I never thought I could make a little windfall.
As everyone headed towards the opening of the passage, Xiaohua secretly slipped a fruit to Fan Kaiyu: "Brother Fan, this is a fruit that I grew myself. It just grew and ripened, and there's only one left. Even Brother Aheng hasn't eaten it yet. I'm giving it to you first, so you must eat it when you get back."
Brother Fan told her many stories about the outside world, and she liked this brother the most.
As for the fruit, she's with her brother, and when it ripens, she'll give it to him first. Now that Brother Fan is going back, they might never see each other again, so she'll give it to him first.
Fan Kaiyu patted her head and returned the gesture by tying a talisman on her finger: "Okay, thank you, Xiaohua."
The two guardians exhausted their power to open the formation, and the passage opened successfully, with a beam of light shooting straight into the sky.
The seven of them stood inside, waiting to be teleported away.
Wait, isn't someone missing?
Where is Lin Zhu? And what about the demonic cultivator?
Just as Liu Qingqing was about to ask a question, the formation was activated, and they disappeared in an instant.
Wen Wan forgot to tell them that Lin Zhu was going to stay and help her, because Lin Zhu was a demonic cultivator and would not be affected by the foul air here.
Unaware of the situation, the group of people went outside and then worried about the matter.
"Alright, Your Excellency, they have returned to the outside world. Now, what should we do about the village?"
The priest and the priest were somewhat weak due to excessive exertion.
"wait."
Wen Wan looked at the bright sky, which resembled a canvas: "Wait until it gets dark. After nightfall, don't come out. Tomorrow will be a new day."
Watching Wen Wan's departing figure, the priest and the god of fate exchanged a glance, incredulous.
Does the divine messenger mean that their village will return to peace after tonight?
At midnight, darkness descended as promised.
Wen Wan and Lin Zhu went together to the rooftop where the priest had taken her to see the "Sky Eye" last time.
The dark sky, just like that day, was shrouded in black mist, obscuring the "heavenly eye" they spoke of.
Looking at the sky, the feeling of hunger returned. This time, Wen Wan did not restrain herself. She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, held her breath, and focused on sensing the atmosphere of this place. At the same time, her body began to change. All the black mist around her seemed to have found a "home" and rushed towards her, merging into her body.
Chu Yun watched all of this silently from the side; it would be impossible for her not to feel worried.
He stayed behind to assist Wen Wan, but there was nothing he could do but stay by her side like an ordinary person.
Soon, the "filth" and demonic energy that the villagers spoke of surged toward them, surrounding Wen Wan completely. In less than a quarter of an hour, only a cloud of black mist remained where Wen Wan was, and no human figure could be seen.
There was nothing he could do but worry.
Chu Yun once again hated her own powerlessness.
——————————
A flash of white light appeared, and seven people instantly appeared on the open ground. Fan Kaiyu barely managed to stand up and almost fell. The others immediately looked around to assess the situation.
"This is where we triggered the formation. We're out now."
Once they knew they had left the village, the group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“The atmosphere here has disappeared,” Liu Qingqing said.
“Yes, it seems the passage has been opened and the formation has been broken,” Mo Qingyin said, expressing her thoughts.
On the day the formation was triggered, the atmosphere here was very strange, but now it is clean and empty, with nothing left but broken walls and ruins. The only difference is that the mist has now dissipated, and everything around is clearly visible.
"Let's find a safe place to meditate nearby and wait for Wan'er and the others to come out."
Although Wang Jinyan really didn't want to listen to Liu Qingqing, he knew that he was able to get out safely thanks to his junior sister Wen, so he didn't say anything to refute her.
He had personally experienced the horrors of Qi Village. The villages on the earth seemed safe, but the environment told him that they were the territory of demons. At that time, he secretly tried to protect himself with spiritual power and found that spiritual power was useless in that place. He was devastated and desperate at that time. He dared not tell others, fearing that they would collapse like him if they knew. Thinking of Lin Zhu's identity, he blamed him without thinking, trying to distract himself.
Fortunately, none of the villagers attacked them, and they even thought that the words about sending them out were just an excuse.
But now that he had truly emerged, he felt as if he had returned from hell to the human world, and the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.
————————
The village on the earth - Tiantai
As time passed, about an hour later, the black mist in the sky became thinner and thinner, and the outline of the "Heavenly Eye" could be vaguely seen.
All the black energy gathered in one place. At this moment, the village was quiet. Under the moonlight, it was peaceful and serene. If it weren't for the big black lump in front of him, he would have really thought he was in a peaceful village.
He wondered how Wan'er was doing now. Besides that, he vaguely felt his power returning. Could this also be related to this pile of black energy?
Now we can only wait.
He sat cross-legged to the side, beginning to regulate his own state, while constantly keeping an eye on Wen Wan's situation.
Time passed second by second, and before dawn, everything went as they had planned, and the mission was accomplished without any surprises.
Chu Yun, who had lost power, has also fully recovered.
Wen Wan finally saw what the "Heavenly Eye" they were talking about really looked like.
Nothing special, except that there was a giant eye hanging in the sky, which was kind of creepy.
As the black mist dissipated, the enormous eyeball fell into her hand, which she tossed to Chu Yun with a look of disgust: "Hey, what's this? You can keep it."
Chu Yun: ...
"This should be the Eye of the Mysterious Netherworld."
"The Eye of Xuanming?" Even Wen Wan, who was well-read, had never heard of it.
"Yes, this little world must have been created by it. The black energy and my demonic energy were sealed by it, and what was exposed was overflowing."
It's easy to imagine how immense the foul air here was, yet Wen Wan absorbed it without experiencing any discomfort. Something was very wrong with Wen Wan.
"In short, it was your appearance that freed it. You can keep it; it's a top-quality item after all. If you don't like it, you can put it in your spatial ring and then you won't see it."
"Alright..."
As the first rays of sunlight appeared in the village, the scarecrow in the courtyard began to change.
The first scarecrow turned back into a human, then the second, and the third. Everyone cheered and wept. They could feel the filth on their bodies completely disappear, and they no longer had to worry about losing consciousness and attacking those around them.
At this moment, the villagers were filled with gratitude towards Wen Wan, who was like a goddess who had saved them from dire straits.
The villagers have decided to erect a statue to worship the god, and also to erect a statue for the divine messenger, one in the village on earth and one in Qi Village.
Although everything had settled down, Wen Wan still felt that something was missing, so she suggested going to Yiqi Village.
“My Lord, I will return with you,” said the God of Destiny.
The villages on earth have regained their vitality, and he also wants to see what his Qi Village looks like.
"Lord of Fate, I also want to go there. My husband is still in Qi Village. I want to go and bring him back." A villager said with tears in her eyes. She and her husband would finally have a chance to meet again. She begged him to stay alive.
“We’re going too. My son went to Qicun, and I’m going to pick him up.”
"Yes, we'll go and bring them back."
The villagers were all filled with excitement.
They wanted to tell those who went to Qicun that they had not been abandoned, nor had the people there; they had been saved, and they would go home together.
