Chapter 128: The Real Truth behind the war
"My lady, we don't have too much time. Please leave this sect, at least save yourself. There is no way we can win this losing battle. Those people are thousands in numbers and they are very close to the Hundred Poison valley sector's border." Neena looked towards Jasmine as she said those words. Her facial expression was stiff and she was worried about Jasmine.
Jasmine took a deep breath as she heard Neena and approached her.
"You want me to run away, leaving everything behind. You already know how much my father loved this sect. He worked very hard for this sect. You already know he was always there for everyone in their tough times. He treated this sect as his whole family. You want me to abandon my family," Jasmine said as she looked at Neena.
Jasmine's eyes were wet as she said those words. Neena took a deep sigh as she heard Jasmine. She knew how persistent Jasmine could be, she was not going to listen to her that easily.
"Our people will die at this rate. I can understand that you don't want to leave this place and that you want to fight alongside with others, but we don't have any choice, my lady. Everyone is afraid and they are in a state of chaos after knowing that young master Raaj and lord Haan are no more," Neena said as she looked at Jasmine.
Jasmine didn't know how to respond to Neena because there was no clan that wanted to help them in this tough time because of the Nichole clan.
Seeing those expressions on Jasmine's face, Neena took a deep breath.
"My lady, what about the Lin clan? We can ask for their help. After all, lord Nicholas is going to take over the Pang city after conquering the Hundred Poison valley sect, and I heard lord Haan used to admire elder Lin, he might help us in this tough time," Neena said as she looked at jasmine.
Jasmine remained silent as she heard the name of the elder Lin. She knew about him as her father had told her various kinds of stories about him. Before she could say anything, a voice interrupted both Jasmine and Neena, and their gazes went towards the direction of that voice.
"You think elder Lin is going to help us after what young master Raaj did to his clan? He was generous enough that he didn't attack us after what the Hundred Poison valley did to him."
An old man could be seen standing a few metres away from Neena and Jasmine.
"Uncle Lee, what do you mean by that?" Jasmine looked towards the old man who was standing there and looked towards Jasmine and Neena.
Hearing Jasmine's words he took a sigh and approached these two.
"You don't know anything, my child, your brother is the sole reason for the annihilation of this sect. Lord Haan always knew that Nicholas was only using Raaj for his own benefit. He didn't want to have a friendly relationship with the Hundred Poison valley sect to begin with. He just wanted to rule over this place because of the significance of this place, but Raaj was ignorant.
He thought he was going to help me, but in the end he got betrayed by him," he responded to Jasmine and Neena.
"But in what way is it related to the Lin clan? My father didn't do anything to the Lin clan and he always admired the elder Lin. I don't understand where you are going with your words, uncle Lee." Jasmine looked at him with a confused expression.
Hearing those words, he took a deep sigh and nodded his head.
"You don't know anything about the event which happened a few days ago. Listen carefully. As you know, the Nichole clan trades women to big sectors and clans for the medium of dual cultivation.
There was a girl named Diya whom he was supposed to sell to one of the biggest families, which is associated with the Royal family, but before he sold her, she ran away from his grasp and was later saved by the Lin clan's young master Yohan," the old man Lee said.
"Young master Yohan..." Jasmine mumbled as she heard the name and a bell rang in her mind.
"But people call him..." She stopped midway as she looked at the old man Lee.
Neena also listened to this conversation as she knew about Yohan.
"Yes, people call him trash and he is very famous in surrounding cities, but somehow he saved that girl and took her in the Lin clan. Lord Nicholas felt insulted and ashamed at the same time because a no-name trash kid ruined his plans to sell her and even insulted his authority in front of everyone," Lee said and looked at Jasmine.
And then he continued again while seeing these two girls hearing his words very curiously.
"Seeing that he was insulted by a young kid who is even famous by the name of trash, he became furious. That's when he asked your brother Raaj to look into this matter." The old man Lee looked at Jasmine as he said those words.
Jasmine's facial expression became stiff as she heard those words.
"Don't tell me my brother did something..." Jasmine's heart sank as she looked at old Lee.
Neena was also taken aback as she heard those words from her father's mouth. She was the elder daughter of the old man Lee who served under lord Haan. Old Haan treated Lee as his brother and Neena as his second daughter.
Lee took a deep sigh as he looked at Jasmine.
"Yes, he sent a famous rogue assassin from our sect to kill Diya, and he wanted to cripple Yohan for his arrogance, but somehow in the first attempt, young master Yohan saved Diya and he got hit by his poison arrow," Lee said with a bitter smile on his face.
