Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Mighty Hall Appears Again Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Mighty Hall Appears Again These branching paths were like the candy of death, always tempting travelers along the way to stop for a rest in the houses.

However, the several hundred people did not waver and continued to press on with gritted teeth.

After all, they still felt the heavy weight of the Fifth Prince’s army on their minds.

Ah Dao quietly stared down at the village from the top of the horse carriage, feeling that there was something eerie about it.

However, the only way to Biluo was this main road, and they had no choice but to take it.

Ah Dao, having no other option, could only instruct everyone to stay alert.

With the warning from the team ahead, those following unconsciously became more vigilant, their eyes constantly scanning the village below the mountain.

Yet, as they looked, they began to sense that something was amiss.

“How come there’s no sign of smoke at this time?”

This single sentence stirred up waves of concern, and everyone couldn’t help but look down.

Indeed, as night fell, a normal village should be swirling with smoke from cooking fires, so why was this village so silent?

When something is abnormal, there must be demons at play; unable to decipher it, Ah Dao could only order,

“Speed up and leave this place.”

Upon hearing this, the Old Monk controlling the reins urged his plump horse to go faster, while Rabbit in the carriage looked worriedly at their leader, who remained in a deep slumber.

Having woken up once in the middle of the night, their leader had not awakened since.

Although in the past it was normal for their leader to sleep soundly for ten days to half a month, it was disconcerting now on the road as refugees.

After all, their ability to avoid danger time after time had always depended on their leader’s strategic thinking.

The speed of the horse carriage had clearly increased, signaling that another emergency had arisen.

But with the leader still asleep, it meant that they would have to rely on themselves to handle any unexpected situations now.

Just as Rabbit furrowed her brows in worry, the horse carriage suddenly came to a halt.

Instinctively, Rabbit gripped her thin dagger tightly, staring intently at the carriage door.

Outside, it was the Old Monk at the carriage’s reins, with Ah Dao and Smiling Face responsible for keeping watch; at this moment, the two simultaneously spotted people hiding in the bushes.

Before Ah Dao could even ask, those people rushed over. If it weren’t for the sharp observation that these four were covered in blood and carrying children on their backs, Ah Dao’s blade would have swung down.

Xiao Chan at the back sensed that something was off and immediately ran to the front, glaring at the newcomers, “Who goes there?”

Upon seeing Xiao Chan, the people immediately fell to their knees, “Young brother, please save us!”

Watching these Blood Men dragging their injured bodies and clutching at their legs, Xiao Chan kept backing away, her face filled with panic, “What are you doing?”

Regardless, those people moved forward, resolute in grabbing onto Xiao Chan’s legs.

Forced to retreat to the side of the horse carriage, and worried they might attack it, Xiao Chan eventually drew her knife with a “whoosh,” her eyebrows furrowed coldly.

“Get any closer and don’t blame me for being rude.”

As soon as Xiao Chan’s knife appeared, those people finally stopped, only staring at them blankly, their faces etched with sorrow.

“Young brother, don’t misunderstand; we’re not bad people. We’re also refugees. We just settled down in a ravine nearby not long ago.”

“How did you end up like this?” asked Xiao Chan, puzzled.

“People from Mighty Hall came; now they’re in the village. Please help us to rescue our wives and children.”

“Mighty Hall?” Everyone’s faces changed upon hearing this.

Wasn’t Mighty Hall already destroyed?

The memory of the weapons and bodies they had buried themselves left everyone bewildered.

Bai Junjun also appeared solemn, her thoughts racing as she recalled the structure of Mighty Hall.
