The gate of Huai Valley Village was wide open, led by Liu Shan, almost all the villagers were waiting at the entrance to welcome Wu Chang.
Wu Chang dismounted, and at the moment he landed, the palace lantern in his hand just extinguished.
He discreetly put the remaining oil into his personal space and held the lantern before Liu Shan.
"Mission accomplished."
Liu Shan took the palace lantern and exclaimed, "Wu, the great hero, truly is extraordinary; a journey that takes a week can be completed in less than two days."
Liu Jinfu placed the palace lantern in the altar at the center of the valley, nourished by the array in the valley; it required no oil, and the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp erupted with crimson flames.
As the age fire ignited, the damp chill brought by the demons in the valley immediately lessened.
Due to Wu Chang's early return, what was originally a discussion about the extermination ritual turned into a celebration feast.
