She returned to Cloud Remote Ancient Village and told Mu Duo that she was safe.
With nothing better to do, Bai Yujun flew toward Green Wood Mountain deep in the southern wilderness. Cloud Remote Ancient Village was safe for now. As for that Black Rock Ancient Village business, it could wait until she returned from sightseeing. This trip was for getting rich.
In fact, Black Rock Ancient Village found the hidden culprit even faster...
Late at night.
Several thousand villagers gathered around the altar. Bonfires crackled and burned as priests in ceremonial robes chanted spells and performed mysterious dances upon the altar. This was a matter of great importance; even Black Rock Ancient Village's sacred beast, the peacock, was present. Every important figure in the tribe had bloodshot eyes.
Perhaps even Heaven could not bear to watch Black Rock Ancient Village's plight. Dark clouds covered the moon, leaving the pitch-black mountains lit only by the bonfires around the village altar.
Witchcraft, a mysterious existence that the Central Plains neither understood nor dared to face.
When the Demon Subjugation Sect's feng shui had been sabotaged, it was a High Priest from the Black Division who had found the culprit. Witchcraft excelled at handling problems the Cultivation World could not solve, but the price was too great, and it would inflict a certain degree of harm upon the priest.
Those priests with exceptional witchcraft could even communicate with ghosts and gods, wielding Mysterious Power far beyond their own. With no way whatsoever to find the true culprit, Black Rock Ancient Village could only place its hopes upon witchcraft. Yet today's ritual had already gone on for a long time...
What the villagers did not know was that even the priest conducting the ritual did not understand why he could not see clearly.
