Song Tingwan pursed her lips and looked at the clan leader.
Song Hexi nodded and gave a few instructions to his personal guards.
Then, in front of everyone, the people who had been burned by Lan Yu were brought up.
Those people had their five senses sealed by bone nails, and stood there like wooden statues without any reaction.
The relatives and friends of those clansmen had already begun to feel uneasy when they discovered that they had been burned by Lan Yu.
Although I was worried, I vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Song Hexi was extremely heartbroken. He stood in front of them, sighed, and pointed.
A cloud of demonic energy flew out from the spiritual altars of several clansmen.
After the demonic energy was removed, the group collapsed, their life force completely gone.
The body decomposed rapidly.
The audience was shocked.
"This is... being controlled by demonic energy!"
"How could this be! My child is clearly... Yes, he seemed a bit off when we went back to the clan this time. I thought he had suffered some kind of trauma, but I never imagined he wasn't my son anymore—"
Some people fainted from the pain, and Song Tingwan also showed her reluctance.
When she discovered it, the demonic energy had already invaded her consciousness, and her original soul had long since dissipated.
It's too late to save him.
Song Hexi sighed as he faced the crowd, “When Awan examined everyone’s bodies, she noticed that something was wrong with these people. This year’s clan festival asked the high priest to take Lan Yu as a warning. As you can see, the Demon Lord is eyeing Yun Yin.”
The audience fell silent.
Their complexions varied.
The three outsiders in Baili Xijiang all looked worried.
"The Demon Lord and evil spirits harbor ill intentions towards us, and we, the Hidden Cloud Village, have ways to deal with them. But what I'm telling you is that you should be extra careful when you go out."
Song Chaoxuan spoke in a gentle tone, which made Song Tingwan look at him with suspicion.
How could she not know what to do?
Below the stage, Old Man He stepped forward mysteriously and said, "Wan'er, look what this is."
He tossed out a contract, which Song Siyao caught with a leap, then lightly jumped onto the stage and handed it to her older sister.
Song Tingwan smiled at her, took the bag, and looked down at it.
The more I looked, the more surprised I became.
"...This...this is the contract with the four major sects?"
Old Crane stroked his beard smugly, “It’s a rare trip for an old man like me to the cultivation world, how can I not accomplish something big?”
"The Hidden Cloud Sect made an agreement with the four major sects that they would join forces to eliminate evil spirits and demons once they discovered any trace of them."
Yunyin was threatened, but also used as bait.
This conveniently facilitates the righteous path in eliminating evil and upholding justice.
Song Chaoxuan smiled and pulled a contract out of his sleeve.
"Ah Wan, take a look at these two too."
This was already beyond her expectations; what other surprises awaited her?
Song Tingwan took two more sheets of paper and unfolded them.
After reading it, she looked at her father with a half-smile.
"The High Priest is truly capable, managing to persuade the Cloud Peak to join forces with the Dragon Clan."
The high priest nodded and smiled, "It's all thanks to the abundance of good things in Yunyin. Driven by self-interest, if it really comes to that, we'll have to give away half of Yunyin's treasure trove."
Song Tingwan saw the deep-seated love in her father and sighed with emotion.
Song Siyao seemed lost in thought, glancing at her father with a sullen expression.
Song Chaoxuan's smile faltered, and he secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.
He handed the platform back to the clan chief and Awan, and gestured for his youngest daughter to come down with him.
Once offstage, he hurriedly explained, "Your father would never sell his daughter. It has nothing to do with that white dragon. Your father invited your master, Sect Master Yan, to be his stepping stone."
"When discussing this matter, we sought out the other two Venerable Ones at the Cloud Palace Peak. The Dragon Clan also avoided the White Dragon and instead sought out their clan leader."
He was willing to promise more treasures to ask Lord Yanshan for help, rather than have his daughter owe the white dragon a favor because of this matter and be unable to refuse his affections.
In this life, everything is uncertain.
What son-in-law? Get out of here!
Song Chaoxuan glanced at Wan Qiji in the crowd, chuckled, and turned his head away.
Ah Yao was proud and flamboyant her whole life, and avoided suffering.
This blockhead kid has no chance.
