The Incident

Alex arrived at the next spot, which looked like a junkyard. He looked at the plaque to see what this place was called and was surprised to find that there was no plaque at all.

'A place without a name? That's a first,' Alex thought and looked around. 

A man walked outside, all alone, and with a weaker cultivation base than most people that had come out from those other places.

The man looked around, trying to see if Alex and Pearl were alone. When he noticed that they were, he judged them. "You two Daoists here to join our group?" he asked.

"I'm afraid not," Alex said, preparing for the eventual battle.

"Then are you two here to fight?" the man asked with a curious look. "I would've assumed you two were running away from whatever is happening over at that garden."

"What is happening in the garden?" Alex asked.

"Did you not feel that aura a while ago?" the man asked. "You should have."
