The voice of a mid twenties woman echo in the dark valley behind him.
"Lylia, I'm surprised you're still alive after all these times."
"Well that's rude, shouldn't you be asking for my well being instead of this?"
Fei Ling shrugged and smiled
"If you're not well, why would you be here? And I didn't think you'd be the first to notice me, this quickly."
"How have the others been?"
Lylia's face seems to be saddened but hid it with a punch in the face to John Snow
"After that incident, everyone of us has been scattered and in hiding. We lost our powers, but it's nothing compare to what you have endured."
Fei Ling put his hand on Lylia's shoulder and comforted her
"Why don't we reunite with the rest like the old times?"
"I'm afraid that is impossible"
"Oh Lylia, have you lost faith in your own leader?"
Lylia was taken by surprise because of how John Snow is acting now
"John you seem different from before? You seem-"
Lylia started to attack John Snow
"Calm down, I'm still me. I know it is hard to believe but after that incident I've been through a lot, the same can be said for everyone of us-Even you Lylia..."
"Prove to me that you're the John Snow we know"
John Pulled out a weird looking crest from his amulet
"The crest of blood, so you are the real John I'm sorry for doubting you. It's been so hard these days after you left. But why have you come back? And wanting to reunite with the rest means that something major is happening"
"Yes you're right, there's a group called Crimson Nexus, They're mysterious yet powerful people who seem to have emerged after that incident which was 3years ago"
"I've live in the underground world for so long, yet I never heard of such a group. But first let's to to my place"
John Snow and Lylia walks through the slums of Murim and finally arrives at a small wooden cottage hidden with invincibility spell
