Chapter 354: Chapter 354

As Zhi Ruo and Mei Lin make their way through the crowd, they overhear snippets of conversations. The general sentiment towards the Starlight Sect is far from sympathetic. "They deserve it," sneers one onlooker, not bothering to lower his voice. "Always bullying those weaker than them. I hope their Sect Master never comes out."

Another voice chimes in, this one belonging to a member of a another sect. "The Starlight Sect has had it coming for a long time. If their Sect Master perishes in there, it'll be a boon for all of us. No more tyranny."

The disdain and hope for the Starlight Sect's downfall are evident in the crowd's murmurs. It's clear that their reputation for cruelty and dominance has earned them few allies among the cultivation world.
