Chapter 6: No Survivor? (1/2)
”That's impossible!”
”How come Taiyi Sect fall just like that?”
”Yes! We should go there and investigate it!”
”We can't possibly accept this!”
Voices of villagers who were adamant that it was a lie began to start. They wanted to confirm the truth by themselves because neither one of them could accept this truth, the harsh truth that the biggest sect they knew in their entire life had fallen.
No one wanted to accept it.
On the other hand, there were several villagers who began to talk about what the future of their village would be.
”Without the protection of Taiyi Sect, would it mean that we're going to be in danger?”
”What should we do?”
”I, your father, also didn't know. Damn this! Why don't we all just leave?”
”Leave? Where can you leave in this vast wilderness?”
”But if we stay here any longer, it's uncertain when bandits will come and possibly raid us!”
”Yes!”
Panic began to spread amongst the villagers. Each of them understood very well that it was only thanks to Taiyi Sect that they could stay safe. However, things were not always going according to what they wanted. It was almost certain that they would not be able to live in this area anymore because of the danger.
Everyone was afraid.
Afraid that the worst will come without warning and possibly killed them all.
”You're not afraid?”
The question near him made Lin Xiao raised his head. He could see Xu Qin asked him with pale face. She knew that very well that she wouldn't be able to survive without the help of Taiyi Sect,
Lin Xiao chuckled. ”Even without Taiyi Sect, there are other sects nearby. We can switch allegiance if Taiyi Sect is truly destroyed.”
The first sentence from Lin Xiao easily infuriate others. They always referred Taiyi Sect ever since they were small, hoping that they could join this big sect that was very powerful. Could other sect compare to Taiyi Sect?
They didn't believe that.
They didn't want to believe it.
But the second sentence effectively stopped Xu Qin from bashing her fist to Lin Xiao's face. She had reached body training rank 5, which meant that she was at the same stage as Lin Xiao. As she had stayed in that stage for a much longer time, it meant that she was also stronger than him.
”You don't think that Taiyi Sect have fallen.”
Lin Xiao put his hands on the back of his head. ”If there's truly no survivor, how come the letter fall in our elder's hand?”
”It's from our people who lived near Taiyi Sect!”
