Wan Tiancang had been living at Lichuan Entrance for over half a year, staying secluded every day, watching the green rice sprouts emerge from the soil one by one, feeling very happy in his heart. At night, he used the Spiritual Rain Technique on the spiritual field in the courtyard, and was meditating with crossed legs when he faintly heard a commotion outside.
He couldn't help but open his eyes to see, noticing the flicker of firelight in the dark night outside, as if someone was running back and forth carrying torches. His heart sank immediately, and he opened the courtyard door to look outside.
Seeing a child hurriedly running towards him with a torch, Wan Tiancang quickly called out,
"Child! What has happened?"
"Sir! Old Ye at the head of the village is dead, they say a demon has come, and they are calling everyone in the village to go there."
