Chapter 2334 Attacked



Chapter 2334  Attacked

Pearl left the two dead men and went to check on Momo.

Momo was shaking. She had her fair share of fighting practice, but in real life, when death was just a mistake away, the threat to her life made her shiver uncontrollably.

Pearl spoke some words of comfort while making sure she wasn\'t wounded or harmed. Once he checked on her, he checked on Yuren who was only walking out after hearing the commotion.

"Senior Whitepearl, what is going on?" the young man asked.

Pearl didn\'t answer immediately and scoured the land around him instead. Was there more that were there?

After making sure there weren\'t, he sighed in relief. "Someone tried to attack us," he said. "But I\'ve taken care of them."

"Why… why did they attack us?" Momo asked.

Pearl didn\'t know, but he had a guess that he was not their target. It was Momo. "Someone is trying to kill disciples of alchemists in the tournament, I believe. Brother did say something like this was a possibility."

"They are targeting us?" Momo asked. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

Pearl nodded. He wanted to get out of there immediately, but the fight had caught enough attention and authorities were already there. Two elders of the Wineweed guild, one male and one female, arrived before him.

"Were you the one who caused this?" asked the male elder, pointing to the two dead bodies.

"Yes, senior," Pearl answered.

"Why?" "They attacked us. Tried to kill this junior behind me," Pearl said. The elder looked at Pearl and then everything else, taking in the situation. "Were any of you hurt?" the elder asked.

Pearl shook his head.

The elder then went on to ask the crowd if anyone witnessed what had happened. Since it was an attack in broad daylight, in a place where people were always around, many of them had noticed it.

At the very least, they had seen the three men begin the fight, even if it was unclear what their intentions were.

"Are you an alchemist?" the female elder asked.

"No, senior. My brother is," Pearl said.

"Oh, I was under the impression only alchemists wore those things," the woman said, pointing to Pearl\'s chest where the medallion hung.

"Bonded beasts have to wear these as well," Pearl explained. "Which I am one."

The male elder came around to check the initial place where the attack had landed. "We\'ve had enough of these reports to more or less understand what happened," he said. "You guys are free to go for now. You did kill someone, but since it seems to be in retaliation, we won\'t punish you. But, should this happen again, there will be consequences."

"Should this happen again?" Pearl questioned the man\'s words with a frown. "What am I supposed to do if they come after us again? Just let it happen?"

"That\'s not what I\'m saying, kid. I\'m letting you go because I believe you were the victim. But once is a coincidence, twice is something else. If you are involved in another such attack, then we will look into it at a deeper level."

Pearl thought for a bit and shrugged. "As long as you are fair, senior, I won\'t have anything to hide."

"If we find anything about the man who left, we will contact you," the woman said.

"Do you need to know where I\'m staying?" Pearl asked.

"No need. We already know," the woman said and bade him farewell. The man followed behind her.

"Senior, is it over?" the young Yuren asked.

Pearl frowned. "I don\'t feel safe letting you stay here. Brother Aethersage left you in my care, so I am obliged to take you with me now."

"I\'m leaving?" Yuren asked.

"With us, yes. We\'ll keep you in our courtyard. It should be safe there," Pearl said. Yuren didn\'t take a long time to be convinced. Once he knew his life may be in danger, he immediately sought safety in Pearl\'s shadow.

The group made their way to the courtyard a while later and put up all the formations to protect themselves. Once it was all working, they were safe and secure in this place. There was plenty of empty room for Yuren to make his own, so he quickly found a place for himself among them. He learned alchemy by himself, only occasionally coming out to meet with Momo and talk about alchemy.

Pearl didn\'t cultivate as intently anymore, waiting for Alex to come back. He should have come back by now, so his not being back began worrying him. His brother had a tendency to get stuck in places, usually beyond his own control.

\'Did he get taken away by some strong cultivator again?\' Pearl wondered. It had happened enough that it was a genuine possibility. At the very least, knowing that he wasn\'t dead yet was enough for Pearl to continue on alone. Things were calm enough that Alex could continue taking his time if he was doing something important.

The modicum of peace Pearl had found the past few days was destroyed one night when he sensed many people entering the courtyard despite the formations being up.

It was a good thing that he had even been able to sense it at all, or else they would\'ve caught him by surprise.

With so many people there, Pearl found the best thing to do was run away immediately. He needed to take Momo and Yuren and go. But before he could even do that, it was already too late.

They had already sensed the youngsters in the other rooms. Pearl couldn\'t let anything happen to them, so he pulled out his spear and walked outside. 15 men and 8 women surrounded the place, each one varying in strength. Most of them were weak, but a few were too strong even for Pearl.

It was a dangerous situation, to say the least.
