Chu Wanning turned deathly pale with shock at these words and stumbled backward. However, she was merely a mortal, and in her panic, her movements were sluggish. How could she possibly outrun these cultivators? In no time, she was seized and dragged back.
Zhou Yu, standing nearby, watched this scene in a daze. Strictly speaking, he was half a cultivator himself; though he was cynical and had a few gang-like habits, he would never lay a hand on an ordinary person. After all, the cultivation world had its rules—cultivators were strictly forbidden from harming commoners. Yet, he never imagined that these people, who styled themselves as righteous sects and appeared so sanctimonious, would actually stoop to attacking Chu Wanning.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and spoke in a steady, fearless tone. "Honored immortals, Miss Chu is nothing but a mortal, and she has no grievances with any of you. Why must you make things difficult for her? The person you are after is Lin Dong—you are free to go and find him now. Attacking Miss Chu only serves to diminish your own dignity."
