96 Chapter 93: Seed of destruction

Xu Ming clenched his fist tightly as he gazed at the woman.

"How did this happen? I was just here a few days back?" He asked the woman.

"Sigh, What can I say. The old lady made some bad choices," The woman replied.

"What choices?" Xu Ming inquired.

"She asked for money from a cultivator," The woman sighed as she looked down.

"Some men stopped at her inn and asked her to give them a room for the night. She asked for money. The men apparently didn't like this one bit. They started getting angry as they thought that the old lady was intentionally trying to annoy them,"

"They came out of the Inn and burned it down before they left. The old lady was burnt alive inside her own place," The woman replied.

Xu Ming didn't say anything for close to a minute and just stayed there in silence.

"No one tried to stop them?" He asked after a long time.

"Are you crazy? Those people were cultivators! How could anyone in this village compare to them." The woman said in a self-depreciation tone.
