Surrounding the stretcher were seven to eight villagers in their forties or fifties. They respectfully stood on both sides.

In the middle was a witch who wore heavy makeup and a red flower in her hair. She also held a wooden staff in her hand. At this moment, she was repetitively jumping about as she murmured under her breath She also occasionally threw handfuls of ashes on the elder on the stretcher.

As the witch worked, the nearby villagers and believers shouted in excitement.

"Goddess Lunar, please don't blame us. We have brought you the sinner," one of the believers said.

"Please forgive us, Goddess Lunar. We have come to repent," another said.

There was smoke everywhere amidst the shouts. The statue of the Goddess Lunar in the temple hall looked blurry through the smoke. It looked as if it would come to life at any moment.

The heavily powdered witch kept jumping harder and harder as she continued her chanting. Lastly, she brought out a dagger the size of her arm and stabbed towards Hassad on the stretcher. At that critical moment, a shrill voice cried out, "Don't!"

The villagers' attention was attracted by the shout. They saw Yankee, Hallim, and Fade running over.

They obviously knew Yankee and Hallim as they started to point at them.

"They're Hassad's students!" One of them said.

"They were among the people who excavated the tomb," another yelled.

"Our Feng Shui was destroyed because of them. Goddess Lunar is no longer efficacious because of them," a third cried.

The witch, Marilyn, narrowed her eyes in the temple. "Stop them," she commanded.

The villagers at the door immediately obstructed their way and surrounded them, preventing them from entering.

As for Marilyn, she raised the dagger and was about to stab Hassad once again.

When Yankee saw this, she became very agitated and started to shout. "Stop, you're committing murder. If Hassad dies, all of you are accomplices and will go to prison," she yelled. At that moment, Hallim gathered his courage and added, "We've already called the police before we came. If you don't stop now, all of you will be arrested when the police arrive."

It had to be said that the police still intimidated these ordinary villagers.

For a brief moment, the mob of villagers started to hesitate.

When Marilyn saw this, she shouted, "Don't be frightened by them. There's a traffic jam right now and the police can't come in."

"What's more, I'm not killing him. I'm just taking some of the blood from his heart to use as a sacrifice. Only then can we repent to the Goddess Lunar," she added.

"Don't you want to see the Goddess Lunar manifest once more?" She said.

As soon as she spoke, many villagers hesitated once more.

As for Marilyn, she signaled the seven or eight burly men beside her. They walked out of the temple towards Yankee and the others.

With the addition of these men, weak students like Yankee and Hallim couldn't pass through. They could only helplessly look on as Marilyn was about to stab Hassad in the chest.

As the tragedy was about to happen, a gust of wind cut through the air and hit Marilyn's wrist. Blood was spilled all over as the dagger in her hand was sent flying.

She grabbed her wrist and cried out in pain. "Who..." She fiercely shouted.

With a roar, Fade jumped out from the villager's siege and carried Yankee and Hallim as he entered into the temple.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere with our sacrificial ceremony..." Marilyn glared hostilely at him.

Fade didn't say much but slapped her. "You trickster, how dare you to harm others! Do you have a death wish?" He asked.

"How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me! I..." She was furious and glared at Fade as she shouted.

He simply slapped her on the other cheek and shouted coldly, "I'll kill you if you continue to spout nonsense."

His terrifying cold eyes really intimidated her. She pulled back and dared not say another word.

At that moment, Yankee and Hallim were checking on Hassad, who was on the stretcher.

Fade turned around and started to check on him. He infused him with positive energy. After some time, hee told Yankee and Hallim, "Don't worry, Hassad's alright. I can cure him!" "Then hurry up, Brother Chen..." Yankee spoke anxiously.

However, Marilyn's voice suddenly sounded, "Did everyone see that? These are the people who interfered with the feng shui of our village and caused Goddess Lunar to be unable to manifest herself. Now, they're even interrupting our ceremony. Hurry up and catch them."

As she stirred up the crowd, the villagers at the door started to become agitated as they surged through the door.

Yankee and Hallim's faces changed as soon as they saw their reaction.

Yankee quickly shouted, "Don't be fooled, everyone! The witch is lying. The matter of the ancient tomb has nothing to do with the Goddess Lunar temple. Additionally, the manifestation is just superstition. Don't believe it."

"Superstition? Have you all forgotten about the time when Goddess Lunar manifested and healed others?" Marilyn shouted in the crowd.

"I've recovered only after I drank the sacred water from the Goddess Lunar. She is real!" One of the villagers shouted.

"They excavated the ancient tomb. They're the liars, catch them," another shouted.

"Goddess Lunar is the ancestor and goddess of our village. We can't let them blaspheme against her. Stop them!" "No, we didn't..." Yankee uttered.

"I'm going to call the police. Don't come over!" Hallim said.

As the villagers surged in, Yankee and Hallim's explanations seemed weak.

Just as the hundreds of villagers were about to rush in, a thunderous angry roar sounded through the sky. The sound exploded in the heavens and everyone was shocked by the noise. They were instantly stunned and dared not move a muscle.

"All of you, stop right now!"

No doubt the person who roared was Fade.

At that moment, he was looking at the villagers with a dark expression. He was filled with anger.

Seeing that the villagers were kept under control, he spoke softly to Yankee and Hallim. "Take Hassad and leave," he said.

The duo quickly lifted Hassad from the stretcher.

Fade led the way with his furious eyes glaring fiercely at the crowd, intimidating them in the process.

The three of them walked out of the temple unscathed.

At that moment, Marilyn shouted even more. "There's only three of them. Don't be scared. If we cooperate with each other, they definitely can't leave this place," she said.

The seven or eight burly men led the charge and the villagers followed after them when they saw them charging.

The scene was once again thrown into chaos and there were shouts to be heard from afar.
