On the other side.

Fang Yue, still on his way back to the village, had kept watch for the first half of the night before setting the team off again.

Having rested for half the night, the escort team was moving much faster, making great progress.

Fang Yue, having settled things in the real world, was free from worries and was just hanging around in the game.

Clatter, clatter.

Using the Congtai Ring, he routinely used internal energy to ignite a flame, fixing it in place.

Fang Yue sighed. Why did he always feel like the day he could make use of this damn ring was so far off?

Despite the sigh, he still had to practice.

He circulated the Liehuo Xinfa (Blazing Fire Heart Method), poured it into the ring, maintained the frequency, successfully ignited the flame, and followed the guidance to fix the hexagonal flame in the designated position.

The first piece, the second piece, the third piece…

*Chi!*

A thick plume of black smoke rose from the direction of Manshui Village.
