Ah Yan and his mother arrived at the restaurant early in the morning. As they peeled the skin off a basket of potatoes, they started to talk about the dire situation at Rainbell Town.
"Rainbell Town used to be a wealthy town," so Ah Yan's mother spoke. "A few years ago, a renowned cultivation sect seized control of the town. People said that the cultivators practiced demonic arts.
Many townsfolk disappeared during this time. Some willingly joined the sect, some were rumored to be kidnapped by the sect.
And then, a few weeks ago, the sky was rumbling for three days and three nights. Darkness descended upon this world. Poisonous smoke permeated the air, chasing all animals away."
She referred to the war between the Heavenly Realm and the Demonic Realm. Xie Jianyu and Zhang Fengxi continued listening attentively.
