Everyone scrambled toward the door. Some stumbled and fell to the ground, trapped and unable to stand up amid the chaotic, pushing crowd. A dazed Jin Ling was pulled along outside by Jiang Cheng, while Lan Wangji also shielded Wei Wuxian as they ran out. The ancestral hall was far too small; with so many people crammed inside, they could not deploy any tactics. They had no choice but to lure the Dancing Goddess outside to deal with it.
Outside the ancestral hall, the crowd was still running desperately, and those who ran too slowly were struck down to the ground by the Dancing Goddess. In an open space, Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, Jiang Cheng, and Wen Ning stood waiting. Lan Sizhui and the others were already engaging the Dancing Goddess in combat. Finally snapping out of his daze, Jin Ling gripped his bow and arrow and shot at the Dancing Goddess. Thoroughly infuriated, the Dancing Goddess swung its stone arms, leaped forward, and grabbed Jin Ling.
Seeing Jin Ling caught, Jiang Cheng flew into a rage as Zidian lashed out toward the Dancing Goddess, while Wen Ning also struck swiftly. Within a few breaths, the Dancing Goddess's arm was shattered, and the next second, its entire form vanished into thin air.
