Beneath the peaceful Small Town lurked endless whispers and ugliness.
In front of the school.
Piles of blackened, dried corpses lay stacked like mountains. One by one, their mouths hung open and their eyes bulged wide.
Silent wails and despair seemed to slowly seep from the corpses after death.
A dozen or so warriors from the Pure True Yang Realm stood obediently before the heap of bodies.
