But three thousand years have passed since then, I guess now he has recover and the hatred of two clan be resolved in this war at last.
Regarding the 2 Shangxian, maybe Wude & Wuxing get rid of them.
I think the Xiuzhenist world is so brutal is start making sense to me. Its like online game, once you kill a person, they will drop their treasure and others get to loot it. It hurt more if you just return from boss hunt. (Memory, memory)
