Servant Lin was confused, but no matter how puzzled he felt, he would never do something as foolish as questioning his master, Ross Oakley.
The more he learned about the young man, the more terrified he became.
Every day seemed to reveal another shocking secret, another impossible feat that shattered his understanding of the world.
At first, he had thought Ross was merely an exceptionally talented cultivator.
Later, he realized that description was laughably inadequate.
Ross was a monster that defied all common sense.
As those thoughts flashed through his mind, Servant Lin looked around at the crowd gathered in Falling Leaf Town.
What he saw surprised him.
The soldiers were dead. The tyrannical king's forces had been completely wiped out.
Logically, the townspeople should have been celebrating.
They should have been cheering, crying tears of joy, and thanking the heavens for their newfound freedom.
Yet not a single smile could be seen.
Every face was pale.
