"Mortals should not be implicated in grudges between martial artists. To think that even a so-called 'righteous' sect like the Crystal Palace Sect would resort to something so despicable, so vile! On the side of 'Justice'? They're nothing but shameless!" The disheveled old man cursed hatefully.

Slyff Nae remarked deeply, "I'm guessing that Chaos Divine Being Tao Johr is not going to take action personally against a mortal in light of his status."

Although that was the case, no sect or faction in the North Region dared to protect Aiden's friends or family.

It was not only because of Chaos Divine Being Tao Johr or Crystal Palace Sect. Rather, Aiden's identity was way too sensitive.

He even killed too many paragons of the North Region for the Vermilion Fruit fight while incinerating hundreds of Martial Grandmasters – he had offended almost all the major sects and factions of the North Region!

Anyone that dared protect Aiden's friends or family would be pitting themselves against the entire North Region!

None of the greater powers of the North  dared to do it.

Azure Myst Sect did not dare to either.

A failure would instantly result in a calamity befalling them!

To be fair, against the current circumstances, Azure Myst Sect was already enduring immense pressure for not severing their ties with Aiden.

Sect Master Lian Liu released his spirit consciousness and surveyed his surroundings before whispering, "Our High Elder has already left the sect to head for some business. I hope that she'll be able to make it in time. This is an extremely serious matter that must not be leaked or the sect will be met with impending annihilation!"

Slyff Nae and the others nodded hurriedly.

At that moment, a powerful and familiar aura sped over from not far away.

The old High Elder, the quasi-divine realm ascended beast was back!

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect was alerted!

Pushing through the door, the old divine swan could not conceal her fatigue and surveyed her surroundings before sighing. "I was too late."

Upon hearing that, everyone from Azure Myst Sect felt their hearts skip a beat.

The old divine swan continued, "Tao Johr did not appear personally due to his status. He sent dozens of Crystal Palace Sect disciples in a group and had them burn everything all the way to the ground. Everything was in ruins. Weirdly though… no bodies could be found around the palace. Nor any real signs of battle."

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect heaved a sigh of relief but they were confused.

If the residents' whereabouts were unknown, they should be safe for the time being as long as they were not in the hands of Crystal Palace Sect – why would the old divine swan then say that she was late?

Why was there a hint of sadness in her tone as well?

The old divine swan continued, "The group from Crystal Palace Sect was furious due to their fruitless trip and laid down the order to slaughter all the nearby cities in order to force the missing leaders to show themselves!"

Everyone's mouths dropped agape as they looked on with disbelieving expressions. For the longest time, they could not recover from their misery.

Slaughter the cities… those words were short but they sounded extremely grim.

Almost everyone from that region were mortals!

Against the powerful might of martial artists, those mortals had no way of defending and their lives were similar to ants!

Although they did not witness it personally, everyone from Azure Myst Sect could imagine the desperation and helplessness those mortals felt against the martial artists.

Everyone seemed to be able to hear the tragic cries.

Everyone seemed to be able to envision endless arms flaying, seeking help.

The old divine swan closed her eyes, as though she could not bear to recall, and sighed. "By the time I arrived, the capital city was filled with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. It was devastating and looked like it was hell!"

The disheveled old man clenched his teeth and snarled, "B*stards!"action

"Creating such massacres against mortals because of the grudges of martial artists. Are they truly not afraid of divine retribution?!" Krisia Hall's voice was quivering.

"There's no such thing as divine retribution in this world," Slyff Nae mocked bitterly.

The old divine swan continued, "More than halfway through the massacre, martial artists of the fiend sects arrived, led by their Holy Maiden. They fought against the Crystal Palace Sect martial artists and forced the latter back."

"In that case, there's an extremely high chance that those people were rescued by Pure Maidens Sect."

"That should be the case."

"It was lucky that the fiend sects arrived. Otherwise, all the mortals would now be…"

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect suddenly went quiet as they discussed.

Silence overwhelmed them.

Those that killed were from the immortal sects while those that rescued were from the fiend sects.

It had to be said that this was truly a great irony.

Who were the true immortals and who were the true fiends?

Right from the beginning, Azure Myst Sect was established for the sake of protecting the masses while exterminating fiends and demons.

But now, when they said the words, 'It was lucky that the fiend sects arrived', everyone felt their values collapsing within them.

Did it mean that they had to kill Aiden for his dark arts and techniques?

Were they still going to continue hunting down the fiend sects despite the fact that the latter saved the masses?

An ex-disciple of Azure Myst Sect, Ward Atrez, was now a fiend as well.

Furthermore, he was a great fiend among them, an Asura!

However, Ward Atrez had once said that although he had killed plenty of people in his lifetime, he had never laid his hands on mortals.

Asuras killed divine beings but they did not massacre for fun.

Wasn't a fiend such as him much holier when compared to the masses from Crystal Palace Sect?

After a moment of silence, just as everyone thought that everything was over, the old divine swan pursed her lips and took a deep breath before continuing, "After the group from Crystal Palace Sect left, they were still indignant and went on to massacre 13 other cities on their way back to vent their frustrations…"

"What!"

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect was shocked.

"Within a single day, countless people in the territory of the North lost everything with their families broken apart. The death toll alone has already crossed countless millions!"

No natural catastrophe would be this scary!

The true catastrophes were often made by men.

Gripping his fists, Slyff Nae said coldly, "Although Crystal Palace Sect is a powerful martial sect, aren't they afraid of incurring the wrath of the entire martial world by massacring innocents like this?!"

"They've got the reason to back it up,"

The old divine swan shook her head with a look of irony in her eyes. "Crystal Palace Sect stated that because Pure Maidens Sect of the fiend sects appeared in the North publicly, it meant that the mortals were in cahoots with the 'evil' sects. In that case, because the mortals of the north have long fallen into the path of the fiends and were 'beyond salvation', Crystal Palace Sect was upholding justice by slaying fiends and demons."

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect felt a sense of helplessness and their hearts felt stuffy.

That reasoning sounded absurd and hilarious.

Everyone knew that Crystal Palace Sect merely massacred the mortals just to vent their frustrations.

However, nobody could refute it.

That was the way the world was – strength reigned supreme.

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect who knew the entire events of things knew that the mortals of the North were innocent.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ However, how many people could tell the real truth?

In other vassal states, in other corners of the world, there were still countless mortals who did not know of the truth applauding the immortals for exterminating evil while upholding righteousness…

The mortals at the lowest rungs were the easiest to be hoodwinked and deceived.
