Chapter 25: The Burning City
Once Feng Yi was gone, Feng Xiyan entered the command tent. Standing before the altar, he looked into the mirror and clasped his fists.
He bowed and then said, "Fairy Bai, Xiyan begs for your help."
As soon as he said that, the mirror immediately glowed with a bright light.
On the other side, Bai Hanyun was sitting on the couch, staring at the jade pendant, when Feng Xiyan’s voice suddenly echoed through the living room.
The moment she heard him, she stood up and rushed to the display cabinet. Looking into the antique mirror, she saw Feng Xiyan covered in dust and urgently asked, "What happened?"
Feng Xiyan’s eyes lit up upon hearing her voice. He quickly replied, "Xiqiang City is under attack by 200,000 Yuezhi Tribe troops. They also sent 500 elite soldiers to infiltrate the city, killing citizens and setting fires."
"Because of the high temperature, lack of water, and dry air, the fire is spreading rapidly, and we have no way to control it."
After explaining the situation, Feng Xiyan knelt down and added, "Xiyan begs Fairy Bai to send more water to extinguish the fire."
Bai Hanyun’s mind raced as she asked, "Did they set the fires using oil?"
With the air thick with smoke and the smell of oil, Feng Xiyan wasn’t sure if Lai Ka had used oil to set the city on fire.
Shaking his head, he replied, "I’m not sure. We are using oil and fire to defend the city walls, so the air is already filled with smoke and the scent of oil. For now, we tried to put out the fire using sand."
