A pillar of white light shot up into the sky from behind them, almost illuminating everything around it.
Fang Yue had never seen light so dazzling before.
The strangest thing was that the area illuminated by the pillar of white light covered the entire Ancient Moon Village exactly, stretching all the way to the edge of the village entrance.

Before he could excitedly shout it out, Madam Chen's hand tightened around his, almost unconsciously.

The bones in Fang Yue's left wrist
