Seeing the power of Wang Yao's "fire control", Tao Jiaotou's despairing thoughts were unconsciously rekindled. Although Dark Moon Village looked miserable, its strength had not actually suffered much loss, especially since even fewer villagers with fighting ability had died.
Having stayed in Dark Moon Village for a long time, Instructor Tao can now make accurate judgments about many situations at a glance. He is now confident that with Wang Yao's help, he can hold out in Dark Moon Village for a long time, provided, of course, that the Mad Demon does not appear.
He couldn't understand why Wang Yao suddenly wanted to leave at this time.
"Don't worry, reinforcements will arrive soon." Wang Yao chuckled self-deprecatingly. If General Pei was right, the hunters would soon track him down after he used his magic, and they shouldn't ignore Dark Moon Village once they saw it.
"You...can you reconsider?" Instructor Tao took Wang Yao's words as a consolation, not believing that there would be reinforcements. He just stood there looking at Wang Yao pitifully.
"I really should go." Wang Yao nodded to him, turned and walked towards the secret passage. The flames were still burning ahead, but they posed no threat to him.
"Wait...wait a minute..." Coach Tao suddenly shouted loudly behind him.
Wang Yao stopped and turned around, deciding in his heart that no matter what Coach Tao said, he was determined to leave. He couldn't risk his life like that.
"Could you...could you help us put out the fire? We can't put it out ourselves. I still need to set up the deer stronghold again. The village still has some grain stored..." Instructor Tao said, staring at Wang Yao.
"Well..." Wang Yao hesitated slightly. What Instructor Tao said made sense. If he didn't actively draw out the spiritual power of the Samadhi True Fire, he didn't know how long it would burn. If he accidentally set someone on fire again, then it would be Wang Yao's fault.
"Then you'll have to escort me down later." Wang Yao nodded. If that was the case, he would have to make another trip up the mountain. Without Instructor Tao to escort him, he really wouldn't be able to get down the mountain with all the guards blocking the way.
"No problem." Instructor Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Yao immediately reached out again and extinguished the nearby flames. Instructor Tao then sent him back to Dark Moon Village, piece by piece, first extinguishing the remaining fires in the secret passage's defenses.
As expected, Darkmoon Village was engulfed in flames. The surviving villagers hid in the fields outside the village, anxiously watching the raging fire and helpless to stop it.
Several men were still jumping and shouting with flames still burning on their bodies. Mr. Zuo, with a hoarse voice, stopped the villagers from getting close to them. Wang Yao came over, rescued the men first, and then put out all the fires in the village.
It turned out that these guys hadn't been attacked by the lesser demons before, and their bodies weren't tainted by the Samadhi True Fire. They didn't know how powerful the fire was. When they saw the village on fire, they thought they could help put it out, but they didn't expect that the fire was impossible to extinguish and would burn anything it touched.
Fortunately, they arrived in time. If Wang Yao had really left, these people might have actually been burned alive.
"Li Laicai, quickly take a few men to sort out the weapons that haven't been burned yet. The cooks, check how much grain is left! Get a few more men, we need to rebuild the deer strongholds, we need to replace several places!" Upon seeing this, Instructor Tao hurriedly arranged for the villagers to get busy.
"Instructor Tao, the fire has been extinguished. Could you please take me down?" Seeing that there were no embers left in sight, Wang Yao called out to Instructor Tao, who was rubbing his hands together, ready to get to work.
"Wang Xian, what do you want?" Mr. Zuo suddenly asked from behind Wang Yao.
Wang Yao turned to look at Mr. Zuo, then back at Coach Tao, who was barely standing and had a complicated expression on his face. He understood that Coach Tao must have told Mr. Zuo that he was leaving and asked him to stop him.
“Mr. Zuo, you don’t need to worry. I wasn’t lying when I said reinforcements would arrive soon. Whether I stay or not doesn’t really affect the overall situation anymore,” Wang Yao said helplessly to Mr. Zuo.
“Wang Xian, in principle, since you came to my Dark Moon Village, you have not taken a single blade of grass or tree from my Dark Moon Village, but you have done many things for my Dark Moon Village, and even helped us repel the attack of the Demon Clan. If you want to leave, we should not make things difficult for you, except to send you off with the utmost respect.”
Mr. Zuo looked at Wang Yao and spoke slowly.
"But as you can see, the demons are the main enemies threatening my Darkmoon Village. Your methods can just be used to subdue them. My Darkmoon Village has already suffered a major blow. If you leave now, we will have no chance to withstand the next wave of attacks from the demons."
"Of course, this is not unexpected. Since everyone decided to stay, they were already prepared to die. But the Immortal also knows that our death is to prevent the Demon Burial Abyss from being discovered by the demons. But with the Immortal gone, our plan has a flaw..."
“Mr. Zuo, didn’t I say that none of you will die and reinforcements will arrive soon? Besides, there’s really no need for me to stay here. I just saw the way the demons attacked. They’re flying around in the sky. They might have already discovered the Burial Abyss.”
Wang Yao hurriedly interrupted Mr. Zuo, saying that the Dark Moon Village's entire plan had not taken into account the factor of high-level demons at all. If they just flew around casually, how could they hide the Burial Demon Abyss? The so-called plan was nothing but self-deception by these villagers.
“Wang Xian, I know you’ve made up your mind to leave, and it’s no use trying to persuade you. But… since you say the reinforcements will be here soon, why can’t you wait until they arrive before you leave?” Mr. Zuo shook his head helplessly and stretched out his hands to Wang Yao.
"If any villagers from my Darkmoon Village survive this battle, I promise that we will never forget your great kindness to my Darkmoon Village, and we will surely spread the word of your kindness to our divine realm throughout the divine realm in the future."
