All of them stopped trying to put out the fire and knelt in front of the stone wall to beg for forgiveness.

Someone suddenly asked, “Where did the foreign woman Young Master brought back go?”

“I think I saw Sister MO Yu bring her into the priest hall,” someone replied softly.

Everyone looked at each other. They did not see that woman when they were putting out the fire earlier.

“Could she have started this fire?”

Otherwise, why hadn’t such a situation happened in hundreds of years? Why did something happen the moment an outsider entered?

“It must be her!” The Second Elder stood up with his walking stick. She was old, and her dark and thin face was covered in wrinkles, but her eyes were bright and sharp. It was obvious that she was not easy to deal with.

She narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction of the village. “Not only did this person injure Young Master and the high priest, but she also blasphemed against the gods and destroyed our home. We can’t let her off easily.”

Instead of believing that it was a divine punishment from the heavens, it was better to blame it on someone else. At least this way, everyone could accept it.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the panic on the faces of her clansmen dissipated, replaced by anger.

They all expressed that they could not let the outsider escape. They even fought to form teams to capture her.

They were too far away, so Shen Yijia and the others could not hear the commotion outside the priest hall. However,they weren’t fools. It was expected that they would react.

“Let’s leave first,” Song Jingchen said.

Shen Yijia and MO Yuan paused at the same time.

“What’s wrong?” Song Jingchen looked at Shen Yijia and asked.

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and briefly told him what she had heard while following Ji Yunxi.

“Ji Luo?”

This time, it was You Yi’s turn to freeze. If not for the fact that he still remembered not to act on his own without his master’s orders, he would have flown out alone to look for her.

“Yes.” Shen Yijia nodded and turned to look at MO Yuan. “Is this your master’s name?”

MO Yuan shook her head. “Master didn’t tell me, but…’

She paused for a moment and continued, “Lord Jing’an mentioned this name to me. Moreover, when I was by Master’s side, I heard her mention Lord Jing’an’s name once. It should be the same person.”

She did not say that she had once tried to assassinate Xuanyuan Ce.

However, her meaning was already very obvious. Not only was Ji Luo the person Lord Jing’an was looking for, but she was also very likely MO Yuan’s master.

Since that was the case, they had to save her.

“Don’t worry, I heard what that old woman said. The bullsh*t high priest didn’t let her kill Ji Luo, which at least means that Ji Luo is still alive.” After comforting her, Shen Yijia looked at the burning Valley of Heavenly Secrets again.

He sighed and said, “It’s a pity that they didn’t mention where Ji Luo was locked up.”

Song Jingchen suddenly said, “I know a place.”

Shen Yijia asked, “Where?”

“The forbidden area of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.”

In the forbidden area at the back of the mountain, the sound of whips hitting flesh sounded one after another.

Looking at the woman lying on the ground on her last breath, Madam Ji felt relieved.

She waved her hand to make way for the maidservant who was carrying out the punishment. She took two steps forward and squatted down in front of Ji Luo. She reached out and grabbed her hair, forcing her to look up.

Looking at the crisscrossing scars on her face, his lips curled into a mocking smile. “Look at you now. Others will probably have nightmares when they see you like this.”

“Valley Master, do you hate me?”

Ji Luo closed his eyes, clearly not intending to pay attention.

Madam Ji hated her always calm appearance the most. It was as if no matter what she did, she was just a clown in Ji Luo’s eyes.

Her face twisted and she exerted more strength. She thought of something and quickly regained her composure.

“Aren’t you just relying on the fact that the high priest doesn’t want me to kill you?”

Madam Ji looked down at Ji Luo and sneered. “I forgot to tell you that the clan is holding a sacrifice tonight, but do you know the purpose of this sacrifice?” Ji Luo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her sharply.

Madam Ji seemed to be pleased by her reaction and smiled even more smugly. After laughing, she said coldly, “Spirit exchange!”

“You’ve been studious since she was young, and read all the books in the valley, including forbidden techniques. You should know what spirit exchange is, right?”

When she said this, she stared into Ji Luo’s eyes without blinking. As expected, she saw shock in her eyes.

Madam Ji laughed out loud. “So what if you hid her well? Yunxi still found that person.”

“You lost to me, and your daughter lost to my daughter. Apart from your background, in what way are you better than me? Why can you be a respected Valley Master while I can only kneel in front of you and beg for mercy? Even this marriage is something you don’t want.”

“Do you know? What I hate the most is the surname Ji!”

“But I also thank you for giving me this surname. Otherwise, how could I have married him?”

No one knew that she had admired Si Yun since she was young. She should have been happy that she got what she wanted, but when she thought about how this woman did not want it, her feelings changed.

Not to mention that Si Yun had been keeping Ji Luo alive, Madam Ji was certain that Si Yun still remembered his past affection for Ji Luo..
