Xie Xuanyi had likely already guessed what had happened.
"Was it the Chu Family?"
Xie Xuanyi spoke calmly, his voice void of any fluctuations.
"...Yes."
This Baihua Valley disciple, named Yuan Yi, spoke sorrowfully, "They never planned to abide by the rules set previously. Many of my senior sisters were killed."
She wasn't lying.
Xie Xuanyi could see that this young girl, still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, had her Heart Lake nearly shattered, a testament to the severe blow she had suffered.
Though outwardly unmoved, he inwardly sighed lightly.
One must be ever so cautious when walking in the world of cultivation.
No matter what, one must not lack a guarded heart.
Being capable of such a basic mistake, Baihua Valley had indeed been too lenient in their teachings over the years.
"Stand behind me."
Xie Xuanyi lifted his head, his gaze piercing beyond Yuan Yi into the gloomy depths further back, where footsteps were sounding, and not just one set.
"Thank you, sir."
