Xiao yin taking a look at the burned buildings reminded "Sister, if we don't think of something we might die here… no maybe roasted here." Though, this wasn't the time to be talking like that unlike Xianwu who won't mind even a single think he says, Senlin and Shijei looked at him annoyingly.
Xianwu pondered hard as a plan popped up. "Senlin, Shijei, I want you two to distract those two heavenly Supremes no matter who they are. In the meantime, we'll go back to Hongqi and tell him to head back or hid on the way or stay sheltered until they leave." She proposed the way.
Senlin and Shijei looked at her annoyed as well. Of course who would want to die getting struck by thunder? Xianwu sighed heavily. "However, I have no way rather than that…" she thought. Shijei taking a deep breath spoke up "Alright, we'll do as you say but be sure to be careful." He suggested. Xianwu nodded.
The thunderstorm was finally calming down and just from the center of the tycoon two figures appeared. One amongst them was a man. His hairs were tied into a long ponytail and his robes white, with straps of sky blue dye dazzled. In his hand a paint brush as hairy as a horse's tail laid straight.
The other one as expected was a woman, her hairs were long, tied into a bun and half of them hiding her back. Her robes black dye with silver ribbons and her expression was very similar to Senlin's. Crossing her arm's she stared at the man in front of her who was continuously waving his brush and pestering her. From afar they seemed to look like a match made in heavens. Xianwu peeked from the rock.
"Just like I thought… but the man?" she thought confused. Senlin informed "By their looks they might seem really friendly, but they are also very clever. If we don't do things carefully we all might get caught."
Xianwu nodded. Shijei looking at the two heavenly Supremes who were spending their time like on a tour explained "The two of you should make your way to that tribe leader and hand him over the herb. Meanwhile, Senlin and I will distract the two of them."
Xianwu who was partially in acceptance and partially worried questioned "Are the two of you going to be alright" Senlin who looked at her annoyed growled "Tch! don't think everyone is like you! Go and get your job done!" Xianwu smiled lightly nodding.
Shijei activated a talisman as he informed "The moment I throw the talisman and they get distracted, just leave!" throwing the talisman high and wide into mid air like a baseball Shijei and Senlin picked out their weapons. The talisman hitting back on an old building created a great burst. And just like Shijei thought the two heavenly Supremes who enjoyed their wholesome time were immediately warned.
Xianwu picking up a great time ran off. However, the moment she was escaping, she could thoroughly see that the man even though chasing Senlin and Shijei smiled back at her. Xianwu who cautioned herself and hid again. "Did they saw me? If they did then it's really bad…" she thought slightly alarmed.
Hiding Xiao yin again she tilted her forehead to look but, the two heavenly Supremes had already left towards the commotion Shijei and Senlin made. Xianwu who was confused herself made her way out. "Xiao yin, let's go back and hurry!" she called. Xiao yin ran behind her.
Xianwu rushing back pondered worriedly "Will Senlin and Shijei be alright? Will they even be able to fight them? No need to worry about them, I know they would have grown really powerful the time I wasn't around…" All of a sudden, the sky darkened again and black clouds took over the sky. "Again?!" Xianwu stuttered shocked.
Xiao yin who took a glimpse behind spoke up "Sister, I think they are fighting seriously." Xianwu had nothing to say. She had come to the silent city to find about the Human Eating corpses but had faced other heavenly Supremes out of nowhere. Nonetheless, the two of them made their way back towards the bridge.
Upon seeing the sight of the bridge, Xianwu's expression turned into a delighted one as she waved but the moment she thought everything became alright, was the same moment she felt that her thoughts had an opposite effect. Xianwu looked at the sight dismayed. Her hands shivered as she pulled Xiao yin's arm and stood in front of him. Xiao yin on the other hand had a serious expression covering his face.
Over the cliff Hongqi was pushing his own people down towards the pit one by one until every single one fell. Over the bridge other tribes men's had already gathered around including the Hongqi's wife. While over the bridge a young boy was hanged upside down. Xianwu felt as if the earth below had left her feet. She stepped back a step little by little.
However the moment she did was the exact moment Hongqi turned around to face her. His eyes were red and hands were full of blood. His voice was mischievous as he questioned "So… you're back?" Xianwu who had no words left to say stepped back pulling Xiao yin closer with her. "Don't come near us!" she yelled. "What in the world are you doing? Why are you throwing your own people down the cliff?"
Hongqi eyed her angrily as he ordered "Tribesmen! Catch them!" more than seventy tribesmen had already surrounded Xianwu and Xiao yin. "How in the world did so many of them come?" she thought. "Fa ling!!" she called out.
Fa ling immediately turned into a curved blade. Xianwu looked at the tribesmen who seemed to approach them something felt off "Why are they all so weird? Could it be… they are possessed?" And that was indeed the case. The tribesmen had already surrounded them like bees around honey.
Xianwu had no choice but to give up, there was no way she could kill all those people. The tribesmen grabbed Xianwu and Xiao yin as well. Tying their hands tightly with ropes they dragged them towards the bridge making them kneel down in front of Hongqi. Hongqi stared at her with a glare. Xianwu glared back "I never imagined you would go that far…!" she uttered.
Hongqi glared harder as he started laughing viciously "I went too far… you say? Look the one I am throwing are all Human Eating corpses! And it's all because of this low-life!" he shouted cruelly whipping the boy who was hanging upside down with a long, sharp whip.
Xianwu stared with her eyes widened "Black cloak… height a little shorter than mine… it's the same boy whom I saw before?" she repeated. "But how did he come here? Why is he hanging like this?" her thoughts were rampaging as her gaze shifted towards Xiao yin, she pondered "No need to rush… I have to go slowly… even if it comes to me. I won't let Xiao yin be harmed!"
Hongqi crazily turned his head facing Xianwu, he growled "You say I went too far… didn't you lie to me as well you damn heavenly Supremes!" he smacked Xianwu's back ferociously. Xianwu coughed blood with the impact staring back at him.
