"Run for your life!"
"Help, save me..."
Members of the Imperial Clan all fled, everyone terrified. The guards within the Imperial Palace had already covered the escape of the Imperial Clan through a secret passage. Those who were scattered could only shout and cry.
"Holy Monk!"
"Merciful Buddha!"
The monks below were choked with sorrow, their eyes filled with sadness. Yet none ran away; instead, they all looked up, sat upright, and chanted scriptures.
"Namo hekarnasa donnai yeya... Namo aliyeh..."
Suddenly, a wave of Buddhist chants came forth from the dust, spreading in all directions. The resonant sound remained strong, no matter how far it spread, and it did not weaken.
"It's the Holy Monk."
"He's still alive!"
The crowd immediately became excited and cheered.
