No one was left alive in the village...
They were either killed by those monsters or had become monsters themselves!

Huo Qiao'Er's throat tightened, and her eyes welled up.
A look of grief washed over Huo Shenglan's face as she pulled her daughter into a silent embrace.

Huo Shenglan looked back toward Mao Li Village, a bitter feeling in her heart. But she knew how serious the situation was and nodded. "We'll do as you say, Xizhi."
And so, the three of them turned back the way they came.
But they hadn't gone far before Wang Xi's expression darkened.
