"You," one of the young cultivators yelled.

Everybody kept still from their positions and instantly looked at the direction of the voice despite the fatigue creeping all over their bodies.

Everyone wanted to fall from where each of them stood but felt that disrespecting the call of the young man would be unwise--so all of them looked silently and readied themselves to listen to whatever would come out from the young man's lips.

"This is the territory of the Purple Mist Sect," the young cultivator slowly but arrogantly explained, "aren't you courting death for intruding."

Everyone felt fear for their lives. They knew they can't simply deny the fact that they trespassed. And they also knew that, at that point, there were only two possible ways to deal with the matter--one was to reasonably surrender, which appealed to their senses as the better option, and the other one was to fight their way out should the two young men turned out to be unreasonable.

After some breaths, Shu Wei finally gathered his courage and broke their silence.

"Young Sages," he politely addressed as he took a deep breath thereafter.

"I am Shu Wei and we're here for an errand.. we come from the Gale and Moon Villages down south..," he added.

"We already know from where you are," the other young cultivator overbearingly interrupted, "speak your reason for being here.. and I shall decide weather you live or die."

Everyone swallowed their salivas--even Shandian felt the pressure coming from the two.

"We were really at fault for coming without notice..," Shu Wei said with bowed head, "..but this matter is about the wasteland."

The two young cultivators looked at each other for a moment before one of them asked.

"And what of it?" the young sect cultivator said.

The two cultivators from the sect were actually surprised and, at the same time, confused with the said purpose of the intruders.

"You see, Young Sages, we would like to offer our services to the Purple Mist Sect's plan of entering the Wasteland.." Shu Wei explained, "..and we're here to request for an audience with the Sect Headmaster for that matter."

The two young cultivators curled their brows as they listened intently.

And upon noticing their reaction, Shu Wei naturally stopped from saying another word.

"Shu Wei's family lives on a plateau in the borders..," it was the Gale Village Chief who interjected in a very polite manner, "..it's actually the nearest human settlement to the Wasteland.. and we thought that Shu Wei's place would be a good stop for all the cultivators who would participate in the event.."

"Actually, we like to be of service to the sect by accomodating your guests in our territory," Shu Wei followed.

**************

After some more explanations, the two got the idea why these villagers tried to reach the sect.

They cannot obviously make a decision for the Sect Headmaster--and since the matter concerned the sect's affair, killing the guests right there and then might not be wise. So they thought it better to take them in.

"The two of us are among the core disciples of the sect," one of them who had the Water elemental affinity said before he paused and allowed the other to continue for him.

"My name is Chu Feng, and I am a direct disciple of the Sect Headmaster," the other with the Wind elemental affinity said. "Come with us, we'll take you to the sect."

The group felt relieved.

"Wait."

A soft but clear voice echoed.

Everyone looked at the direction where the sudden voice came from.

It was Qai.

"Can we take the beast cores first?" he shamelessly asked.

Everyone was speechless.

To the two sect disciples, the cores and hides of the demonic beasts lying around them were of little value so taking them never crossed their minds.. but to Qai and his group, they naturally meant fortune!

Nobody moved. Everyone clearly hesitated. No one knew what exactly the sect disciples' response would be.

As each of Qai's group silently tried to glance at each other, another voice echoed--this time, it had a commanding tone.

"Fifteen minutes," Chu Feng said.

As soon as they heard his words, all of them moved.
