"Come with me. This isn't a place to linger." Yue Guang turned and called to them.
"As you can see, this is the territory of my Yuan Liu Clan. For generations, we have lived under the protection of the enormous sect known as the Thousand Arts Sect. Quite a few members of our clan are top disciples within the sect.
"But now the Thousand Arts Sect is weak and declining, and our clan has been dragged down with it, so..." Yue Guang did not continue. Her expression remained indifferent as she led them to a slightly shorter mushroom house.
"You can rest properly here. These mushroom houses are shelters reinforced with sect laws; no spell or technique can possibly find you within them.
"And if you want to contact the outside world, you can use Earth Mother God A'ka's Source Power Crystals here. The crystals are inside the mushroom house. Help yourselves."
"Earth Mother God's Source Power Crystals?" Ban Sai's eyes immediately lit up. "I heard Xiao Ying mention them. Aren't Source Power Crystals supposed to be extremely scarce?"
"That used to be the case, but things are different now. A few years ago, we suddenly discovered an enormous deposit of Source Power Crystals underground, so we can use them freely in that regard. In any case, before long, they won't belong to us anymore." Yue Guang spoke calmly.
Seeing the blank look on her face, Ban Sai knew that this girl had likely already lost all hope. He also recalled his memories of first meeting Su Ying, and could not help sighing inwardly.
"I understand. Thank you. By the way, may I pay my respects to Su Ying?"
"No need. We never found her body." Yue Guang answered calmly, then turned and swiftly left with her people.
