Zhao Xun was just about to check the details of his newly acquired Special Item when a series of footsteps sounded behind him.
He turned around unhurriedly and, sure enough, saw numerous figures running toward him.
He raised both hands, forming a long Wall of Fire in front of himself.
The figures charging toward him immediately slowed down.
Even from far away, they could feel the threat posed by the flames.
The Wall of Fire blocked the entire village entrance, leaving them no way to get past it.
But they had heard those screams and knew something unusual must have happened. Even knowing the danger, they had to come and investigate.
So, although they slowed down, none of them stopped.
They all continued approaching Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun simply stood there, neither retreating nor advancing to attack.
With the subjects of his hidden mission safely sent away, there was no one left in the village he needed to worry about. He could let loose and fight without restraint.
The only problem was...
Zhao Xun checked the time.
There were still five minutes until eight.
Hmm, I'll have to wait a little longer.
[Fifth, after eight at night, you must not leave your room. You must blow out the candle and go to sleep.]
This was the only rule he had yet to violate.
Just to be safe, he planned to break the fifth rule before taking action.
That would prevent his violation of the village rules from being deemed invalid if there wasn't a single person or ghost left in the village.
Soon, all the villagers arrived in front of Zhao Xun.
Leaning on his cane, the white-bearded village chief was the first to ask, "We heard screams. Did something happen?"
Zhao Xun didn't respond or even look
