Chapter 39
Jie Cheng and his wife were overjoyed to hear this. "Has Sister Wei returned?"

If she can get back in time for the beast tide, can she save the village?
Even if we can't save everyone, saving our relatives is still a good thing.

To confirm whether it was just a false alarm, Jie Cheng asked Jie Yufei, "How did you know it was your sister who came back?"

Xie Yufei pointed to the firebird in the sky and said, "Those are my sister's cards!"

When Xie Yuwei created the Fire Cloud Sparrow, Xie Yufei was by her side. At that time, Xie Yuwei's inspiration hit a bottleneck, and she didn't know what kind of card to make.

Seeing Xie Yufei obediently staying by her side, she asked Xie Yufei, "What kind of animal does Fei-jie like?"

Xie Yufei shook her head as she looked at the sparrows in the tree. Pointing at them, she said, "I like sparrows!"

The main problem is that she hasn't seen any animals other than poultry!

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuwei suddenly thought of the Fire Cloud Sparrow from a certain game. She could make the Fire Cloud Sparrow into a card!

With this idea in mind, she depicted the Fire Lark.

When she handed the firefly to Xie Yufei, Xie Yufei exclaimed in amazement, "What a beautiful bird!"

Thus, the Firebird card was born in this world.

Therefore, when Xie Yufei saw the Fire Cloud Sparrow, she knew that her sister had returned.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to see Yuwei. Ignoring the monsters all over the courtyard, she ran out of the courtyard with her golden bell shield on.

She arrived at the entrance of the village and waited for Xie Yuwei, hoping to see her sister as soon as possible.

Phew! ! !
Another firebird flew overhead.

Under Xie Yufei's expectant gaze, the three fire wolves charged into the village, biting any magical beast they encountered.

The village was filled with the mournful howls of the monsters.

The two fire larks in the sky also launched an attack on the monsters on the ground, and countless fire rains fell from the sky.

Xie Yuchen's figure soon came into Xie Yufei's sight.

"Brother!" Xie Yufei called out.

After greeting Xie Yuchen, she continued to look expectantly at the entrance to the village.

My older sister must have fallen behind, right?
Xie Yuchen returned to the village as quickly as possible, followed by more than a dozen martial arts soldiers. He thought that the barrier of Nanwen Village was the most solid barrier for the nearby villages, but when he returned to the back mountain, he saw the devastation of the village.

The barrier around Nanwen Village has reached the intermediate level, so how could the magical beasts break through it so quickly?
Could it be that Nanwen Village is facing a beast tide of intermediate-level magical beasts?

He looked at the monsters that were trampling the village, and they were all at the beginner level!

What exactly happened in the village that caused such destruction?

Seeing his younger sister standing at the crossroads, seemingly waiting for their return, Jie Yuchen quickly ran to Jie Yufei's side and asked anxiously:
"What happened in the village? How was the barrier breached?"

Although Xie Yufei doesn't go out, she knows what's happening in the village.

She told Xie Yuchen what the village chief's family had done, and Xie Yuchen was stunned.

The village chief, for his own selfish reasons, plunged the entire village into utter ruin.

How can there be such a despicable person in this world?

The dozen or so martial arts practitioners who followed Xie Yuchen down the mountain happened to hear Xie Yufei's words, and they all had shocked and unacceptable expressions on their faces.

How did someone like that become the village chief?
Having learned about the situation in the village, Xie Yuchen asked about Xie Yufei's condition: "Why are you standing here? Why don't you find a place to hide?"

"The Golden Bell Shield was activated by my sister using her spiritual power. Every time you are injured, my sister will lose some of her spiritual power."

"What happened to you before? Were you attacked by monsters?"

Xie Yuchen asked with concern, her worry impossible to hide.

At this moment, Xie Yufei could no longer hold back. She threw herself into Xie Yuchen's arms, sobbing, and said:

“I hid, I hid in our family’s cellar, but the aunties pushed me and Lan’er out.”

"Brother, Lan'er was captured by a monster while trying to save me! Waaaaah!"

Xie Yuchen was furious. What kind of bastard was this, coming to their house to hide and even pushing his sister out of the cellar?

If my sister didn't have the Golden Bell Shield, wouldn't she have been torn to pieces by the monster?

The Golden Bell Shield's characteristic is that it is only activated when attacked by external forces. If the younger sister is captured by a monster, the Golden Bell Shield will not light up at all.

Xie Yuchen couldn't imagine what he would do if his sister were the one captured by the monster.

Now, he wished he could kill those people.

"Are they still in our house?" Xie Yuchen asked fiercely.

Xie Yufei nodded.

Xie Yuchen's gaze swept over the dozen or so armed guards. They were government officials, and he couldn't kill them in front of them.

However, he doesn't necessarily need to take action to kill those people.

Xie Yuchen controlled a fire wolf to walk towards his family's cellar. Other magical beasts lacked intelligence and did not know that there were people hiding in the cellar, so they did not attack the entrance to the cellar.

But if the monsters discover the presence of those people, can those people withstand the monsters' attacks?

The fire wolf was swift and agile, with a clear target. It gathered all its attack power and charged directly at the entrance to the cellar.

The barrier blocking the cellar entrance was just an ordinary object. How could such an ordinary object possibly stop the attack of a beginner-level peak card?
Bang!
The cellar partition shattered, and the women hiding inside screamed in terror.

After smashing the barrier, the fire wolf left the yard silently, as if it had never been there.

The people in the cellar didn't see the fire wolf; they assumed it was a monster that had broken through the cellar's partition.

The group frantically searched for something to block the entrance, but the commotion alerted nearby monsters, which pounced on the cellar, killing everyone inside.

In a secluded corner, the fire wolf watched this scene unfold. Only after confirming that everyone in the cellar was dead did it return to Xie Yuchen's side.

Xie Yuchen calmly put the card back, muttering to himself:
"This card's spiritual power is gone again!"

The dozen or so people from Tieshanhe would never have imagined that Xie Yuchen had just used this card to indirectly kill someone.

They came down the mountain and encountered many magical beasts along the way. When Jie Yuchen used the fire wolf to kill the magical beasts, the spiritual power of the cards would be exhausted. Just like now, he put away the cards that had exhausted their spiritual power and recharged them with spiritual power.

The dozen or so people from Tieshanhe, who had been escorted by Xie Yuchen all the way, now saw their village in this state and spoke up:
"Let's search the village to see if there are any survivors."

“Nephew, you have now advanced to the intermediate level of Card Spirit Master. Why don’t you go and reopen the village’s barrier?”

Xie Yuchen thought Uncle Tie made sense, so he took Xie Yufei to the ancestral hall.
