The flames suddenly rose, illuminating the night sky. From afar, it was extremely dazzling. Everyone subconsciously stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky above the priest hall.

Someone asked uncertainly, “This is… just the beginning?”

If that was the case, wouldn’t they disturb the G.o.ds if they rashly went over?

“No, there’s something wrong with this fire,” the Second Elder said firmly.

As Elders, they had partic.i.p.ated in other sacrificial rituals before, so they naturally could tell that something was wrong.

Everyone looked at the other elders. Seeing that they did not raise any objections, they mustered their courage and followed.

When they really approached the priest hall and looked at the soaring flames, their eyes widened.

“The Priest Hall is on fire!” someone exclaimed.

There was no need for the elders to speak. Everyone quickly rushed forward to push open the door of the priest hall.

With a loud bang, the thick door fell to the ground, and heat waves rolled over it.

Everyone subconsciously took a step back.

“What’s that?” A sharp-eyed person pointed at the stone wall that was red from the fire.

Everyone looked over and saw a row of crooked red symbols on the stone wall with the spider lily totem.

The Fourth Elder asked, “It seems to be a character? Who knows it?”

Most of the clansmen of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets had not left for a hundred years. The language of the clan was still the same as that of the previous dynasty, so it was normal that they did not recognize it.

However, this did not include the followers of the high priest who wanted to reenter the world.

A man in green’s expression was very ugly. He muttered dryly, “You bunch of charlatans. I want to destroy you on behalf of the moon.”

‘Moon? Moon G.o.ddess?”

Everyone was puzzled.

“Didn’t Young Master say that as long as we offer children, we can break the divine punishment?”

Who was this Moon G.o.ddess? Were they dissatisfied?

The First Elder instructed in a low voice, “Don’t worry about this first. Hurry up and go in to see how Young Master and the high priest are doing.”

When everyone heard that it made sense, they ran around the stone wall and into the priest hall.

When they saw the scene in the courtyard, everyone was shocked again.

The three halls were all engulfed by flames, and the courtyard was filled with people, including their high priest and young master.

Someone shouted, “Hurry up and save them.” Only then did everyone come back to their senses.

The people who saved people and extinguished the fire instantly fell into chaos.

“Hubby, I’m hungry,” Shen Yijia said weakly as she nestled in Song Jingchen’s arms.

Song Jingchen’s heart ached and he said angrily, “Do you still dare to mess around next time?”

Since Ji Yunxi had asked her to go, it was impossible for her not to make a move. However, this girl left with someone without saying anything.

Shen Yijia shrank back guiltily and looked at the scenery on both sides that was rapidly retreating. “Didn’t I get drugged with psychedelic incense at first?”

“Heh, little liar.” Song Jingchen didn’t believe her. He glanced at her embroidered shoes and said meaningfully, “Where did the golden beads on your shoes go?”

At that time, the change had happened too suddenly. When he woke up, Shen Yijia had already disappeared. If not for the golden beads, he would not have been able to confirm that she had left with someone willingly.

Naturally, without the golden bead leading the way, they would not have been able to find the location of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

Shen Yijia blinked and gave a perfect guileless look. “I might have accidentally dropped it. Hubby, did you pick it up?”

She looked so unwilling to admit her mistakes. Song Jingchen almost laughed in anger.

“Aren’t you afraid that I wouldn’t discover the golden pearls and find you on time?”

“No, my husband is so smart,” Shen Yijia said matter-of-factly. She even patted Song Jingchen’s chest.

Meeting Song Jingchen’s half-smile, her body stiffened. She knew that she had let it slip, so she stopped being stubborn and immediately apologized. “I was wrong.”

At first, she had only stayed behind to find the Valley of Heavenly Secrets because she was curious about the spirit exchange they mentioned, Ji Yunxi, and the woman that looked similar to her.

Ji Luo!

Sensing that the person in his arms was suddenly in a bad mood, Song Jingchen thought that she was hungry.

He found a secluded place and put her down before taking out a paper bag and handed it over. “Fill your stomach first. I’ll make you something delicious when we get out.”

“Wow, it’s a drumstick.” Shen Yijia swallowed and took a big bite, bulging her cheeks.

“Hubby, you’re the best.” Her eyes sparkled as she flattered him again.

It was true that he couldn’t bear to see her starve, but he still had to teach her a lesson.

It was rare for Song Jingchen to put on a straight face. He said solemnly, “Next time, I’ll lock you up and starve you for three to five days..”
