《Re:Direction The Peak (Cultivation Tale)》CH. 107
Advertisement
Campbell was trying to stop and capture Sophia while Moore was doing his best to block him. And many others were following them taking on similar actions. Civilians were being brought forcefully into the fight and chaos ensued. But everything remained in a stalemate as Sophia was unable to get much closer to the towers. It didn't matter much anymore though as guards and disciples would be dispatched due to the commotion. She kept trying to escape solely to distract Campbell and make it easier on the others.
Meanwhile, in a certain bedroom, a woman was in the embrace of a man. The man had a peculiar look on his face. He could sense the ongoing battle under. He was able to feel the disturbance in the surrounding energies and 'saw' everything that was happening. It didn't take long for him to catch on what was going on. He looked at the beauty in his arms and asked her:
"Since when did you have a daughter?"
"She's 27 this year"
"And she is already at the 32th stage of spiritual accumulation? That's rather good. Though considering her upbringing, it isn't that unexpected"
"I did spoil her, she's my only daughter after all"
"So, who's the father?"
"You"
"..."
"..."
"We haven't met in more than fifty years"
"So?"
"Stop avoiding my question"
"*sigh* I don't know. You see, when you got a harem, it becomes difficult to pinpoint such things-"
"Stop it. There is no way you of all people wouldn't know. Even if only after she was born. So, who is the father?"
"*sigh* One of the harem guys"
"Since you don't want to say, fine. Are you not going to do anything about the mess down there?"
"Hmm~ Nope~ I'd rather we go for round two~"

"And that daughter of yours?"
"No one would dare to harm her anyways. And the guys from the tower are already moving out. Let's just keep going~"
"...You really have a peculiar way of raising her"
"Yeah? Well, I could say the same about your disciples. When did you teach them to be thieves?"
"...What?"
In fact, as soon as the cultivators began to rush out, Jin and Min-Su who had been hiding in a corner were the only ones remaining in the grand hall. The grand hall filled with treasures. Though many had been bought, taken away or destroyed. There remained a few here and there.
Jin was the one to suggest that they picked a few before leaving the place. After all, it was very likely that the whole organization would die today and no one would ever know they were the ones with the missing goods. As such, they began to collect whatever was around.
Jin walked to the weapon section and saw two. He picked both. One was a weird-looking scythe with its blade shaped like a lightning with four zigzags and the other was a long spear with one bladed tip. Then he went to check on Min-Su pocketing a weird crystal on the way.
Min-Su had a bag over his shoulder with two big eggs in it and he had a trembling ball of fur in his arms. Jin recognized it as the beast they previously saw. As for the eggs... He recalled having seen four of those: "Weren't there four of those?" and Min-Su dejectedly answered him: "Yeah, the other two were already broken...What did you find?"
Jin told him about the three items he found and then, they began to look around for more. In the end, they found a manual, two boxes of pills, a few herbs of weird colors and auras and a flute.

As Hae-Hyuk witnessed it all, he shook his head sideways. He couldn't believe how those two troublemakers could be so shameless. They were picking up treasures from the ground while the owner was fighting off invaders outside. They were quite daring. If that Campbell witnessed this, he would have likely maimed them a little even considering their backing. Just those two eggs were worth a city each.
On one side, he was slightly ashamed of his disciple's conduct and on the other, he was happy for their good fortune. However, it meant he had no comeback. What could he retort with? His disciples were indeed stealing stuff. Fortunately, he didn't have to think about it as he was soon kissed by the beauty in his arm. She whispered in his ear: "Let the kids handle themselves and focus on me~"
They both agreed to let the underlings handle the situation.
And so, soon enough, the whole city was in a state of chaos. But just as fast, it all calm down slightly. The appearance of the tower men was the consequences of the chaos and the solution to it. All the bystanders who had been unjustly brought into the fight quickly took off and escaped as they saw those guards. As for the ones behind Campbell, they wisely decided to retreat. It was their loss this time and the Chromatic Abundance was done for.
Only Campbell and a few of his underlings remained. Still chasing after Sophia Crowe, destroying everything they could in the way. Most of his underlings had left in fear, hoping for a chance to live. Those who remained with him were, like him, aware that this was the end.
Not only the Chromatic Abundance was done for but they too were done for. They would be killed sooner or later after creating so much disturbance. And it was all because of that fucking bitch and her sense of justice. It was no longer a fight to stop her from fleeing. This time they were truly after her life.
If not for the other exhibition participants who sided with her, she would be dead. Even as more and more men came in to help her, she was having a tough time running away. She saw a lot of the men die to protect her as she ran. It was not a good feeling.
She was crying as she ran.
