Chapter 639 - Insanity (1/2)
”T-This is the Flying Sword Sect…?” Yuan stood before where the sect should have been located with a clear look of disbelief on his face.
However, the Flying Sword Sect was nowhere to be seen. Instead, destroyed buildings and dried blood scattered the place.
”The scenery is what it would look like after a long and brutal war had just finished…” Yuan mumbled in a low voice.
”Thousands of lives perished here for what? What does the Blood Sect achieve by doing this horrible thing? It won't bring back their Sect Master's dead son.”
”Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality of the cultivation world— the real cultivation world, where people do unreasonable things, and there's nothing we can do about it.” Xiao Hua sighed.
”...”
After a moment of silence, Yuan said, ”Let's take a look around this place.”
”Are you sure, Brother Yuan? There will be a lot of blood and corpses. It won't be a pretty sight.”
Yuan nodded, ”Even so, I want to see it.”
They proceeded to walk around the unrecognizable and destroyed Flying Sword Sect, passing by many corpses and separated body parts.
Yuan stopped walking in front of three large stone tablets, which were the only things not completely destroyed there.
He looked at the stone tablet in the middle, and on the very top, there was a name he was familiar with.
”Mo Zhou… So you have managed to become rank one, huh? Congratulations…” Yuan congratulated him in a dispirited voice.
He then clasped his hands together and bowed to the stone tablet, paying his respects.
”Brother Yuan, there are people around us.” Xiao Hua suddenly said.
”The Blood Sect?” Yuan asked.
”Probably not. They are all Spirit Apprentices,” she said.
”Why would they be here?”
”When a sect is destroyed, it is common for people to try and salvage everything they can find. These people hope to be lucky and find valuable things such as cultivation techniques and treasures.”
Yuan frowned, ”An entire sect is destroyed and these people are in the mood to look for treasures? Do they have no respect at all?”
”Most people doing this have nothing to lose, and finding even a single cultivation technique could change their lives forever. There would usually be more people. It's probably because of the Blood Sect's presence. Nobody wants to run into them, after all.”
Hearing Xiao Hua's explanation, Yuan merely shook his head in silence. Although he cannot blame these people for wanting a better life, it still leaves a bad taste in his mouth.
Suddenly, a loud scream resounded.
”AHHHH! HELP! THE BLOOD SECT IS HERE!”
Yuan immediately turned to look in the direction of the voice, and without hesitation, started running towards the voice.
A few moments later, Yuan arrived before a group of individuals being surrounded by these people that were fully cloaked in black robes with black masks covering their faces.
”Please! Spare us!”
