Once everyone retreated onto the mountain trail and their safety was ensured, Weiya honored her promise by releasing Mo Yan. Just as Mo Yan walked back cautiously along the mountain path, Weiya lit the fuse on the rock wall.
The power of gunpowder should never be underestimated, as the explosion had the potential to completely destroy the mountain trail, making it impossible for Xiao Ruiyuan and his men to pursue. In this way, the Uto people would be completely safe.
Seeing Weiya's action, Xiao Ruiyuan's expression changed drastically, and without heeding the Hidden guards' attempts to stop him, he rushed onto the mountain trail. He took Mo Yan's hand and held her close to him as they retreated, "Yanyan, don't be afraid."
"Yeah, I'm not afraid!" Mo Yan's heart warmed, and she clung tightly to Xiao Ruiyuan's hand as she quickly stepped away under his protection.
