Are there more bad guys?
A grain warehouse, how could there be so many bad guys, are they all crazy?
Han Zhan complained in his mind, but his actions were swift as he quickly walked out of the room.
Outside the room, Tong Yi was standing there anxiously waiting.
"Ji Fa, you finally came out, Tong Er has been abducted!"
Seeing Han Zhan appear, Tong Yi rushed up to him.
"Tell me what happened."
"Oh, just now, wasn’t the riot just over, it’s daytime now, so Tong Er and I took the crowd to receive guidance from the Star Official, while we lifted the Blessing state..."
"Why were you and Tong Er the ones leading the crowd?" Han Zhan asked curiously.
Tong Yi scratched his head, "Because of you."
"Because you know us, they respect both me and Tong Er."
They even respected them together.
Back to the point.
"Where was Tong Er taken?"
"I... I don’t know, I just saw a figure flash by, and then they grabbed Tong Er and ran out of the grain warehouse."
"The speed was too fast, I couldn’t see the face, but it’s day now, there’s no danger outside the grain warehouse."
"I understand, I’ll go find him now."
Han Zhan nodded slightly and said.
The two walked and talked as they reached the perimeter of the grain warehouse.
Here, tall and slender Star Official Puppets were undoing the Blessing effect for everyone.
The root of the riot was the expansion of abilities brought by the Blessing, causing people’s hearts to become restless as well.
So the Ancestral Temple’s decision to cancel the Blessing for everyone was understandable.
Besides the Star Officials carrying out the tasks, Han Zhan also saw Fourth Senior Brother Chang Hao not far away.
He was taking out two white buns from his chest and giving them to a six or seven-year-old girl.
The little girl, seeing the food, showed a look of longing in her eyes but quickly became cautious again.
She didn’t know this unfamiliar uncle in front of her and was shaking her head to refuse.
Not sure what Chang Hao said, but eventually, she accepted the buns and left happily.
Chang Hao smiled as he watched the little girl leave, unaware of Han Zhan and the others approaching.
It wasn’t until Han Zhan and the others reached his side that Chang Hao seemed to notice and turned around.
"Fifth Junior Brother, you this..."
"A friend of mine has been abducted."
"Abducted?" Chang Hao frowned, "Sorry, I’ve been maintaining the Star Official, lifting the Blessing, and didn’t pay attention to other things."
He said with some guilt.
"I need to maintain the Star Official here and can’t get away, but if you need help, I can arrange for Warrior Puppets to assist you."
Han Zhan shook his head.
"What did you say to that little girl just now? She finally agreed to accept your buns."
"Ah, you saw that." Chang Hao chuckled bitterly, "I hope you don’t tell Master, he doesn’t allow us to do such things."
"Master doesn’t allow it?"
"Yes, this kind of cheap charity only causes undue reliance among the people, and it will corrode their hearts, that’s Master’s view."
"But... I still went against his wishes..."
"The little girl was unwilling to accept my offering at first, so I just shared my thoughts with her, that I wanted her to distribute the buns to other kids who lost their parents in the riot."
"She agreed with my idea and decided to help me with it."
So that’s how it was.
Han Zhan nodded slightly, having matters to attend to, he didn’t chat further with Chang Hao.
"Tong Yi, stick close to me." Han Zhan thought for a moment and decided to keep Tong Yi with him.
Since the other party had targeted Tong Er, Tong Yi was not safe at the grain warehouse and was better off staying with him.
Tong Yi nodded vigorously, sticking closely behind Han Zhan, afraid Han Zhan might leave him behind, especially after the incident with Tong Er.
Chang Hao watched the two hurriedly leave the grain warehouse, shaking his head.
Everyone has their own problems to solve, and others can seldom help, it’s something they have to handle on their own.
He withdrew his thoughts and continued to concentrate on controlling the Star Official Puppets.
...
This is the second time Han Zhan walked down the long street of Xiqi.
The first time was to attend the human sacrifice at the altar.
At that time, there were many people on the street, but today, there were noticeably fewer.
Because of the riot, few people were willing to come out, some lifted the Blessing with Star Officials’ help, others finished lifting it and started their day’s tasks.
Xiqi’s streets were dark and deserted, with few people around.
"Where should we look?" Tong Yi asked, looking at the empty street, bewildered and uncertain.
"Do you have Tong Er’s personal clothing, or any other items?" Han Zhan asked.
"Yes! Yes..." Tong Yi rummaged through his pockets and found a piece of torn cloth. "Can this piece of cloth work?"
It was pecked off by an old hen when they were hiding in the chicken coop before.
Tong Yi originally planned to keep it and find a chance to mend it later.
Before he could mend it, this incident happened.
Han Zhan nodded and took it, then formed a spell with his right hand, and a silver light on his fingertips touched the cloth.
The next second, each strand of yarn from the cloth bent downward suddenly, like the legs of a centipede.
Then they started running quickly, darting away.
"The torn cloth... grew legs and ran?!"
"Don’t just stand there, chase it!"
Han Zhan grabbed Tong Yi, and the two followed closely behind the now-legged torn cloth.
Han Zhan used the Creation Skill to animate the torn cloth, and it would only lead them to other pieces of the same fabric.
Following it, they would be able to find the missing Tong Er.
The long-legged torn cloth raced down the dark and deserted streets of Xiqi.
The two, one big and one small, chased after it.
The scene was a bit eerie.
Quickly, they followed the torn cloth to a deserted area.
There were some houses there, but they had been abandoned for a long time, left unused and covered in dust.
The long-legged torn cloth darted inside, with Han Zhan and them following closely, entering the room.
Sure enough, they saw Tong Er bound there, unable to move.
At this moment, the torn cloth reattached itself to Tong Er’s backside, patching up the breezy spot.
Seeing Han Zhan and them appear, Tong Er struggled and twisted.
"Tong Er, don’t be afraid, we’re here to rescue you!"
"Ji Fa!"
Tong Yi looked at Han Zhan, who nodded, stepping forward, and the Array of the Celestial Cycle spread out instantly at his feet.
Then, he approached Tong Er, raising his hand slightly, golden tadpole Profound Text flew out from the Circulation Array, and condensed into a short blade at his fingertip.
The ropes on Tong Er were swiftly cut.
"Tong Er, it’s alright, you’re rescued, Tong..."
Just as Han Zhan finished speaking, a fierce wind suddenly came at him!
The one who launched the sneak attack was actually the Tong Er whom he just rescued!
"Ji Fa, watch out!" Tong Yi exclaimed from behind upon seeing this scene.
