Chapter 19: A Mysterious Resurrection
The Cing clan's sorrow was palpable as they mistakenly believed that Lina had succumbed to her mysterious affliction. They mourned for her with heavy hearts, gathering to commence her funeral rites. The entire clan, from the elders to the youngest disciples, came together to pay their respects.
As Lina was lowered into the earth, the solemn atmosphere hung like a shroud over the gathered mourners. Tears flowed freely, and the air was thick with grief.
Unbeknownst to the clan, a strange and unsettling turn of events was about to unfold. From the depths of the earth, a hand emerged, breaking through the soil as if defying the laws of nature. Gasps of astonishment rippled through the mourners as they witnessed the impossible.
With eerie grace, Lina's body rose from the soil, her eyes flickering with a mysterious dark energy. The shock that rippled through the clan was palpable. Many dropped to their knees in both fear and awe, believing they had witnessed a resurrection.
The mysterious woman who had come from afar stepped forward, her cold and noble beauty contrasting with the chaos that had erupted. She scoffed at the clan members who had berried Lina, her voice laced with derision. "Commoners, you know nothing of the true power of dark energy."
With an inexplicable force, the woman took Lina into her arms, and the two of them vanished into the shadows without a trace, leaving the clan in stunned silence.
As the clan members exchanged bewildered glances, they could not comprehend the events that had transpired. They chose to keep this shocking incident hidden from Denny Cing, fearing that the burden of such revelations might be too much for the young disciple to bear.
Little did they know that the mysterious woman's actions had set in motion a series of events that would continue to unravel, leaving the Cing clan in a state of uncertainty and intrigue.
