Feeling the strange gazes from everyone, Han Zhan suddenly recalled Master Jiang Ziya’s previous question:

Who among your senior brothers and sisters do you think is the traitor?

He withdrew his thoughts and shook his head.

"Master just sent a message to me saying I don’t need to go to him anymore. He already knows about the fusion of the two Supreme Treasures."

"This..." Lu Tao and Bai Shang exchanged glances.

Chang Hao scratched his head in follow-up, "So you were in a daze because you received Master’s telepathic message?"

"But come to think of it, both the Magic Gate and Skill Gate have already recognized you, there’s no need to make any more choices."

Indeed... Lu Tao and Bai Shang also nodded.

As they were about to head back, suddenly, the Eight Trigrams Token at their waists lit up abruptly.

Han Zhan looked down at the token in surprise, as Chang Hao’s explaining voice sounded in his ears:

"Don’t panic, this is an emergency communication from the Ancestral Temple."

"With such a group transmission, it must be that nearby people have some issue and are seeking help from the temple."

"Do ordinary people also have tokens?" Han Zhan asked in surprise.

"Not exactly, but they have specific wishing rituals. In emergencies, they can write on special paper and then burn it."

"After burning, nearby Sect Disciples can receive the specific information of the wish and determine if they can provide help."

Chang Hao spoke as he placed a hand on the glowing Eight Trigrams Token.

Soon, a pale golden light was cast into the sky, forming new words.

Seeing this operation, Han Zhan thought it was somewhat similar to a projector.

However, upon seeing the content, everyone’s expressions turned serious.

"Riots at Xiqi’s grain warehouse, hundreds are fighting with weapons, the conflict escalated, and has already led to the collapse of the southeast wall of the warehouse, with ’Sunlight’ streaming through the breach."

Warehouse riots, wall collapse in the shelter, this is a major issue.

If not handled properly, catastrophic consequences aren’t just words.

"Oh no, we’ve just consumed lots of Starlight Stone, new materials for the Starlight Stone require another human sacrifice to obtain."

Chang Hao slapped his forehead, looking worried.

Telepathy and Profound Skill aren’t much help in solving riot issues, the senior brother probably won’t pay too much attention to such matters, either.

Having considered everything, only Chang Hao, being a puppet master, was most suitable to handle this.

"I’ll send Warrior Puppets to stabilize the situation; there are three hours until daylight, then let the Star Official take action!"

The materials for creating the Warriors also included Starlight Stone; for short-distance travel, even under the scorching sun, it’s not impossible.

Just as Chang Hao was about to set off, Jiang Ziya’s voice suddenly rang out from everyone’s Eight Trigrams Token.

"Let Ji Fa handle this matter."

"He is originally a Xiqi native, living there, making it easier to handle."

"Besides, it’s also a form of practice."

This... everyone’s gaze fell simultaneously on Han Zhan.

For his first task, to complete such a challenging mission?

Thinking of this, Chang Hao looked at Han Zhan with sympathy.

"Master has high expectations of you, keep it up," Lu Tao said, patting Han Zhan’s shoulder.

"No time to lose, I’ll have the Warrior send you to the warehouse," Chang Hao added immediately.

"Okay."

Han Zhan nodded slightly and promptly set off.

Because he knew, every second counted, each delay could result in significant casualties.

...

In the skies over Xiqi, the eye ball Han Zhan had previously seen stared wide at the land below.

Jiang Ziya had mentioned it was the Celestial God’s punishment, a retribution upon Xiqi.

Now, this punishment was worsening.

Looking down from a bird’s-eye view, the "warehouse" occupied most of Xiqi city.

The interconnected alleys and walls, capped by roofs, made the entire warehouse resemble a giant maze.

The warehouse emitted a dim silvery glow, interacting and canceling with the "Sunlight."

But to the southeast, this harmonious scene presented a discord.

Southeast of the warehouse, a wall had collapsed, and dazzling light illuminated this area.

Many people inside the warehouse did not have time to react and were directly exposed to the sunlight.

In the next second, the surface of their skin began to melt like butter.

Not only the skin, but also their flesh, bones, tissues, organs, viscera...

Under the sunlight, they couldn’t even emit painful cries, being "baked" alive into pitch-black charred remnants!

"Madman! You’re absolutely mad! Mad!"

"The Ancestral Temple won’t spare you!"

"I’ve always been displeased with you, now that I have blessings, die!"

Chaotic angry shouts arose in the crowd.

The riot continued.

More and more people had their suppressed emotions ignited by the blessings, indulging in fights, venting, taking advantage of the chaos, leading to countless scenarios.

Eventually, it developed into a wide-spread violent riot.

Tong Yi and Tong Er were initially asleep but were awakened by the noises outside; stepping out, they were faced with such a shocking scene.

Leaving them dumbfounded.

More and more people were pushed under the sun to be roasted to death; the frenzy was spreading towards their direction.

Tong Yi suddenly had a flash of insight, pulling Tong Er as they sprinted towards the chicken coop.

Just like that day, he lifted the roof of the coop with one hand.

"Get in!" he beckoned to Tong Er.

"Do we really have to go in?" Tong Er swallowed uncertainly.

"Of course, unless you want to become charred like them!"

"Hurry and get in, if it can hide Chicken Fa, it can definitely hide the two of us kids, hurry, hurry!"

Thunk.

Two minutes later, the roof was put back on the coop.

From outside, everything appeared perfectly normal.

Inside the coop, Tong Yi and Tong Er’s faces turned green instantly.

The smell was indescribable!

"Finally I understand why Chicken Fa was found unconscious!"

"Bro, I can’t hold on..."

"Endure, persistence is victory; I hear the noise outside fading, they should be leaving soon!"

"Bro, there’s a hen pecking at my butt..."

"Shush, there seems to be movement outside. There’s also a hen pecking at my butt..."

"Bro, why are you not talking?"

"Quiet, I’m thinking!"

Tong Yi and Tong Er were on the verge of passing out from the coop’s distinct odor, replicating Han Zhan’s earlier "feat."

At this moment, the coop’s roof above them was suddenly flung open.

"I couldn’t hold back anymore, sick of eating charred block, chaos is better! The more chaos, the better! Damn it, I want to eat chicken, who cares!"

A middle-aged man cursed and looked inside the coop.

At this moment, six eyes locked onto each other.
