Chapter 473 - Continued (2/2)
They looked like mortal war prisoners than cultivators right now. At the forefront were Fulke, Ceni and the others.
The first thing Ceni saw was Dai Zhi, hovering up in the air some distance away. And then her gaze naturally turned towards Hao Xuan, showing off a warm smile.
Hao Xuan was too far to notice this but Dai Zhi saw it clearly, his eyes glimmering with a strange light.
He flew over to them and with a kind smile, gave a sigh of relief.
”I'm glad you guys are safe. Looks like we made it in time.”
”Lord Dai Zhi!” someone recognized him and shouted his name, alerting all the others as well.
”He came to rescue us!”
”No wonder! That was him fighting all along!”
”Long live Lord Dai Zhi!”
”Long live Lord Dai Zhi!”
”Long live Lord Dai Zhi!”
Without a care in the world they 'rescued' cultivators started chanting his name, which in made Dai Zhi very happy. If not for the urgent situation, he would let them continue for as long as they wished, but now wasn't the time.
”Everyone, we must hurry and leave this place. You are hurt and enemy reinforcements might be arriving any second. Help those that are wounded and make your way over there. Our people will help you cross,” he pointed towards Nel and Aer's group in the distance.
”Thank you senior brother!” many of them came forward and thanked him from the bottom of their hearts, forgetting who it was that rescued them in the first place.
Ceni and Fulke's group separated from the rest and made their way towards Hao Xuan, who was leaning over the hole.
hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and saw Fulke, Hazel and the rest, his gaze lingering for a second on Ceni before moving on.
”Where's Henrik?” he asked looking towards Fulke.
Fulke patted Hao Xuan's shoulder with a smile.
”Closeby. He was worried about you so sent me personally.”
Hao Xuan nodded and started explaining with a somber expression, ”Good thing you're here then. We need all the help we can get. I feed those things some scraps but they'll be coming up soon. We need to bury this whole place and seal it!”
