Into Enemy Territory

I headed back to where Wu Di and Xiao Lang were sitting.

"How are you guys hanging?" I asked.

"Barely," Xiao Lang said, grinning.

"Seems like you're always here to save us in a pinch, but I doubt you can do anymore with the situation right now." Wu Di said.

"You realized it too?" I asked.

"Realize what?" Xiao Lang asked.

The two of us sighed at his lack of foresight.

But Wu Di took the opportunity to explain. I've heard from many other cultivators that they managed to fight off against a lot of scouting parties. And apparently, the enemy forces have yet to move the bulk of their army in. Look at the devastation that a few scouting parties have done." Wu Di said, took a breath then added, "Do you know how much death and carnage is gonna happen once the full army marches forward?" Wu Di said.

"Ah…"

"Where is Yuzehan?" I asked.

The two of them avoided looking me in the face.

"… so, I guess she didn't make it."
