"At your command!"
The martial artists responded loudly and then gathered firewood in the hollow, set up the pyre, and piled all the corpses atop it.
At Ye Tian's command, the martial artists lit the bonfire. The crackling sounds erupted as the hollow was engulfed in flames, including the Sima Family estate, the bodies of Sima Family martial artists such as Sima Feng, and the trees within the hollow—all ignited in that moment.
Ye Tian watched the roaring flames, instructed the warriors from the Night King Hall to retreat, and the martial artists left the hollow in succession, returning along the path they had come...
Before long, everyone had returned to the estate that served as the headquarters for the Night King Hall. Ye Tian told the martial artists to rest well in their rooms, those who needed healing to attend to their injuries, and those who could continue cultivating to do so.
Ye Tian himself, however, went to his own room!
