Chapter 432: Dire Developments

"The Yao Clan? Ling Xue!"

She was worried for her, this enemy turned friend. Although the clan themselves were in a questionable relationship with her, she could not ignore such news.

Ming Yue's face turned to one of surprise as she looked at Zi Jing. 

He was quiet and his face dark. 

The others were silent, looking to him for a response. 

"Let's return first. All of you need some rest after this ordeal, which includes you and you."

He gazed at Ya Lang and Ming Yue before walking off, leading everyone back to the camp. It was quiet, very quiet. No one spoke during the entire trip. What could they say? Their victory in the south was eclipsed by the defeat in the north. 

By the time they returned, it was night and the camp was silent. There were a few patrols marching about but most were asleep. 

"Alright, spend the next few days recovering. I will send another group to retrieve the lizard corpses. You are dismissed."
