Chapter 25: Aftermath of the Destruction! (Edited)

Aftermath of the disaster shook the Primal Dawn City. The people of the city had no idea what happened but they were happy that they were safe and sound.

People without any cultivation had to live their most dark memories and experience it over and over again. Worst kinds of criminals suffered very much. 

People knelt on the ground and prayed to the gods and immortals for forgiveness. They were thinking the heavens were punishing them for their mistakes and they needed to beg for forgiveness.

Some people who were fortunate and did not commit any severe crimes survived through the catastrophe. 

They started thanking the gods for showing mercy.

"Thank god we survived, I will not sell counterfeits to my customers!" an old seller cried on his knees on the street.

"It seems the gods have heard our prayers. From now on I will stop cheating on my wife with my best friend"

Another man exclaimed as he knelt on the ground and slammed his head in the ground.

"True~ I will also stop cheating on my husband with the milkman."

A very fat lady also cried in happiness but soon they released something and looked at each other. The fat lady was the first to exclaim, breaking the silence.

"Friend?!"

"Milkman?!" The middle aged man retorted in Anger. 

They looked at each other for a few moments and spoke at the same time.

"Let's start anew?" They smiled hearing each other's words. The fat lady asked with a curious tone.

"Was it Mrs Feng?" Hearing the question, the man did not reply but sweat started dripping on his forehead. 

"Not Mrs Feng? Then Mrs Wang? I knew it from the way she looked at you." She hissed in a voice laced with venom, but to her surprise the man was now covered in sweat and something clicked inside her mind as she asked in a trembling voice.

"Tell me It wasn't Old Zhao." Seeing her husband look away, covered in sweat, the fat lady fainted in shock.

"Wait, who will take her inside now?!" 

Sighing in resignation he took her inside the house.

The main fainted as he took her inside the house.

There were some unlucky people who died under attacks due to the heinous crimes they had committed. Due to their weak mental strength they committed suicide to stop the torture.

All of this takes some time to describe, but actually happened in an Instant.

The timing of the disaster was bad for the Long family and the Xiao Family head. They were discussing the matters of the Sect and Long Tian. 

They had to use their powers to protect themselves and their families.

They only survived when everything suddenly went back to normal, the clouds went away and the clear sky atmosphere returned. The eerie feeling went away as well.

With the dawn of the new day, the people of the city relaxed and started to clear the aftermath of the catastrophe that they faced yesterday and suffered many losses.

In The Family hall of Long Clan, Long Chen and Xiao Cheng stood in front of two robbed men with their hands cupped.

"Greetings Elders, welcome to the Long Clan." Long Chen spoke with a hearty smile on his face as he greeted the two men in front of him.

The two people removed their hood, revealing their faces. They were precisely Elder Tang and Elder Shen of the soaring heaven sect.

"Clan Head Long Clan Head Xiao, did you discover the reason why heaven turned upside down yesterday."

Elder Shen went straight to the point, dismissing their greetings.

"We were thinking that the elders would have the answers." Xiao family head spoke while hiding his displeasure of being ignored. They were the ones who needed to get benefits so they naturally had to compromise.

The elders just shook their heads indicating they had no knowledge about the event.

' We should try to find that senior. If we can earn a favor from him, Our Long/ Xiao Family might soar through the clouds. '

This was the thought that was going through both of their heads.

"No need to dwell on it too much, It might be a passing cultivator from the capital city." The elders spoke apparent to their thoughts as they previously had the similar thought.

Though they dismissed the idea immediately thinking what would happen if they offend a great cultivator and their sect master was not even there to protect them.

"Now let's talk about the Boy. The sect master is asking for the boy to appear in front of him." Elder Tang spoke, trying to divert the topic when saw their unwilling look.

Long Chen's expression changed as he answered while stroking his beard.

"Long Tian suffered through Internal injuries so he will be unable to leave the family for three months. I had to give him the grace period as his grandfather."

Hearing his righteous words the two elders scoffed internally at him, they instantly knew that the old man was trying to save his name.

"Very well, we want him out of the City after three months. When he crosses the forbidden forest We will take care of it from there on." For cultivators Three months was nothing. They can spend years cultivating without feeling anything.

"How is the Young master?" Xiao Family head asked with concern, in his mind he was waiting to hear if he was crippled down there or not.

The expression of the Elders turned sour. Elder Shen sighed and spoke with a somber tone but there was a hint of glee hidden well in his words.

"He has been Crippled down there, Although the attack did not touch him but his mind was traumatized and a shadow was cast on his mind."

Xiao Cheng's eyes gleamed in happiness but he concealed them quickly and inquired.

"Is there no way for him to recover?"

The Elders nodded with a complicated expression.

"There is a way!"

Xiao Cheng's expression fell upon hearing those words but the next words from the elders regained his lost happiness.

"He needs a Rank 4 Serene Mind pill."
