“But we can allow a few people to take shelter from the rain in the caves here,” the Huang clansman pointed toward the caverns behind him.

‘Of course.’

Their intent was clear; they weren’t seeking Gu Chaoyan’s permission but were already making plans to do so.

Gu Chaoyan’s eyes darkened, but she still nodded, returning with a cold expression.

The members of the Five Elements Clan also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she had returned unharmed. Initially, they had feared an attack from the Huang clan, akin to those who had ventured over earlier.

“Tribe Chief, it’s fine if they’re unwilling. We’ll endure it, even if it’s difficult. After all, we old bones should have perished in the winter if not for Tribe Chief. Living this long is already a blessing,” consoled a few elders from the Five Elements Clan.

Though reluctant to face death, they had come to accept the inevitable.

“Don’t worry, they have agreed to let some people take refuge in the cave to escape the rain,” Gu Chaoyan forced a smile.

The elders were astonished. This was good news; how could the Tribe Chief not be happy?

After a while, members of the Huang Clan arrived, seizing a few elders and children to head towards the caves.

The issue was resolved just like that.

However, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t find it in her to laugh.

Adams approached, fumbling in the darkness. “Xuelai, why are you unhappy? At least, some matters have been resolved.”

Gu Chaoyan shook her head subtly.

“We’ve resolved some issues, but the Huang Clan has gained more control over us,” she candidly revealed to Adams.

“What?” Adams momentarily struggled to comprehend.

“The Huang Clan is well-prepared. Those caves are designated for the elderly and children, and every clan has their vulnerable members inside. We might escape at a suitable time, but currently, they’re holding the elderly and children within 500 meters as hostages. What should we do?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

In this uncivilized world,

True.

Rules of morality and justice were yet to be established.

However…

Their clansmen remained fiercely united.

Even if death was looming, abandoning their still living clansmen was not an option dictated by their unity.

“So, you’re saying they won’t release them even when the rain stops?” Adams sought clarification.

“Yes,” Gu Chaoyan affirmed with conviction.

A tinge of melancholy settled over Adams.

This melancholy lingered until the next day. With no rain, the elders and children of the clan did not return, worsening the situation.

All of Xuelai’s predictions had proven true.

It was indeed the Huang clan’s strategy.

“What should we do?” Adams inquired.

Adams had grown accustomed to seeking guidance from Xuelai in all matters.

Throughout their journey, Xuelai had been the decision-maker.

Gu Chaoyan prodded the sorcerer.

Then, she whispered in front of both of them, “Tonight, let’s go to the Huang Clan and see what’s happening. How about that?”

“You mean?”

“Yes, can you do it?” Gu Chaoyan fixed her gaze on Adams. She wasn’t concerned about the sorcerer; she knew he would find a way.

“Sure,” Adams replied.

“Tonight then,” Gu Chaoyan decided.

For a day, they remained trapped in relative peace.

As dusk approached, Gu Chaoyan began assessing the situation.

She was contemplating how they could escape.

The most viable solution at the moment

was to eliminate the person guarding them in this corner and…
