Bab 131: Not Again

The sun set down in the horizon, painting the treetops with rich red mixed with an orange light. The city was peaceful aside from the chirping birds. However, it was not a melody of joy but of agitation. The animals' attention turned toward the city gate. Xinyi and Nianshi took flight in that direction because of the fluctuating power they felt over there. 

While running, Xinyi heard the birds' pleas. 

"Xinyi, there's a voice speaking in our minds, trying to control us. Help!" 

"Sorceress, help." And more came with one common call, help. Nianshi understood their feelings and waited for Xinyi. 

Xinyi couldn't think else but, "Run away. Flee as far as your legs can bring you. Don't let it control you."
