Chapter 780: The Unchangeable Destiny

The people of the ancient town kneeled down in unison before Jian Shen, pleading for him to save them. They believed that if the soldiers from Miyue Country arrived, they would be in deep trouble.

Jian Shen and Lin Xi felt sympathy for their plight but were at a loss of what to do. They were incapable of fighting an army, and even if faced with a large force, their only option would be to run away.

After some thought, Lin Xi proposed a solution, "You should flee from this place. If you manage to avoid them once, you may not be so lucky the next time. You can't continue to let Miyue Country bully you like this."

But the townspeople refused to leave, the town was their generations-old home, and they were unwilling to abandon it.

Jian Shen was anxious, "Why are you being so stubborn? If you don't leave, there won't be any generations to follow."

Still, the townspeople were adamant about staying, and neither Lin Xi nor Jian Shen could remain behind to protect them.
