"Alright. Heading home it is. Let's move."
You want to take Sin Din with you on your Horse, but change your mind as her sister seems to have things under control.
All of you lay low and head back to the compound amidst the monster-based chaos.
That is, until meteors start to fall.
"What is that?
- <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-s">Other cultivators taking the opportunity.</span></span>"
You focus your gaze : those are... Martial artist? The black kimono and green sash is familiar - a handful members of the <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">Fist of the Green Dragon</span></span>.
Wait, is that martial artist jumping at the head of the 6th stage Reptilian colossus? Is he courting death?
Oh. He obliterated the thing's head in one punch. And your group felt the shockwave. Better keep moving and avoid being pinched to death by collateral effect.
A third of the distance remains. Everything's well... Oh no. The camel's back there. He's looking mad angry. He coils his neck back, and get ready to spit at you...
Is this the end?
You're hearing tumbles on your immediate left, and a guy with a silk blue Kimono decorated with White Tigers, wearing glasses teinted in black, trip and fall between you and the Monster. He's followed by a pouncing giant hare made of Crystal...
>6 : success by 1!
Which trajectory happens to exactly line with the shot of the other monster, exploding the Crystal Hare
"<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Paper Blade Swarm!</span></span>"
There's no way those weak smelling origami swords could hurt the third stage Camel
Oh. You're wrong. It's a red mist paste now.
You don't get to complain at a gifted spirit's attribute. The whole of you goes back running again to the sect.
There. Safe. Man Din brings her sister to get her arm looked immediately. Your group heads toward a relieved Ryota.
"<span class="mu-s">Good to see you safe</span>
- We were succesful. Sin Din suffered a hit, but here's our spoil. I think we could get a good price by binding it to Medicine Master Soulgaze of Stable Lotus Sect.
- <span class="mu-b">This was a group effort. We all deserve a fair share of the reward</span>
- <span class="mu-s">I see... I'll arrange something if that's so.</span>"
Ai, Dhundan and Gro Ta are back empty-handed. Spiritual blow strong enough to make the sect's defensive formations flicker keep going while the Great Sect's member clean the invasion.
Once the last titan is defeated, your sect is honored by the visit of the two Great Sect member you know recognize as spectators of last year's turnament :
the <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">Fist of the Green Dragon</span></span> martial artist and the Paper Tiger cultivator that was pursued by the Crystal Hare.
Illuminated, you identify them as Ryota's comrades of his younger days. And look like they'll stay a couple days.
