(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire)
(Castmere Beach)
Another loud piercing scream echoed through the beach. Xu Lu gripped her sword and kept looking in the direction of the noises.
The fire that was raging in the distance had somehow gotten even bigger and orange sparks of flame were now providing light in the darkness.
Heavy clouds of smoke wafted upwards, and Xu Lu was pretty sure that if left unattended, that fire would definitely become a large-scale forest fire.
"ARGHH!!!! HAVE MERCY I BEG…"
The last scream was cut off unnaturally and Xu Lu could hear the faint sound of gurgling as if the person making the noise had swallowed some water.
No… it was most likely blood.
Xu Lu gripped her sword with her feet frozen in place. Should she go over there and investigate the situation?
She didn't know the disciples… they were random strangers. But she had rescued strangers in her previous lives… didn't she?
