Unlike Elder Thunder, whom many here had trouble recognizing, everyone instantly got who this woman was.
"The matriarch is here!" The girls from IceFire Clan rushed at Julie, who had just descended before them.
Julie looked at the girls before her and said calmly."You should go to the clan quickly; there is a serious war going on."
"You girls should too." Turning toward the others, she said coldly.
The word "war" brought everyone panic on their faces. They wanted to question many things about it to Julie but they couldn't as they didn't have the courage to do so.
So, they quickly ran away to the town to see with their own eyes what was happening and go to their loved ones eventually.
However, there was only one left, and that was Zoon. She came before Julie and asked with courage. "Can I ask you what happened earlier?"
Julie glanced at her and knew why she was asking. She'd heard Brustiar's wife was innocent and kindhearted, which she found difficult to believe because, - Who in this world could be kindhearted?
But from her expression and the things she seemed to be worrying about other than the "war" Julie just talked about this made Julie started to believe that Zoon might be an innocent woman like everyone says.
"The boy you just saw was just as Elder Thunder said, but there are many truths hidden in it. I don't want to say those things right now, however, you should be lucky he was here." Julie said as she was about to walk away.
"That doesn't explain him killing Elder Thunder." But Zoon didn't let Julie go away that easily.
Julie turned her head back and looked at Zoon, raising her eyebrows. "I think I forgot to tell you Elder Thunder was actually a spy from Demon Blight Sect. He was an elder from Demon Blight Sect and was sent here to bring the town under his feet."
"Ho- How can that be!? He was such a calm and silent person who didn't meddle in anyone's business." Zoon couldn't believe what she just heard. But that wasn't the end.
"I suggest you don't trust anyone just because of their outer appearance because your own ancestors are siding with the Demon Blight Sect. They were the ones who kidnapped you and the rest of the girls to use you all as a way to get on the Demon Blight Sect's good side." Julie vanished after leaving behind those words.
Zoon's face had turned pale as a ghost; she was having a hard time believing this was true. She had known that ancestors were sacred and were respectable people, extending their lives to guard their descendants. She just stood on her spot, contemplating what she should do now.
...
Julie, who was heading toward the town's direction, halted her steps under a tree.
"Why did you tell her? I didn't need anyone to justify my actions." Julie turned her head at the source of the voice and saw Gale looking at her, leaning against the tree bark.
"Don't you want to be seen as a good guy? A hero? If you leave everyone with that impression, no one will accept you in the future." Julie asked curiously.
Gale stood up and said to Julie, looking at her sapphire eyes. "I don't care what the people will think about me. I am just doing this for my own benefit. They should be glad that I am doing anything that might bring too much harm to their lives."
"I didn't think you would be like that. You only think about yourself." Julie asked, raising her eyebrows. She felt she was starting to know what and who Gale was, other than his always carefree smile.
"Yeah, I sure do. I only think about myself and my women." Gale chuckled, not denying what Julie said. Then he asked with a smirk. "Also, it is not right to stalk someone all the time. You saw me having a hard fight with Elder Thunder the entire time, right? Why didn't you come and help me? You know I am the only one who could help you remove that curse?"
Julie regained her demeanor and spoke, puffing up her chest. "Do you think you can fool me? You have to remember that I am the matriarch of a clan and a powerhouse in the surrounding region. I can see you had many things up your sleeves as you would smile sometimes during the fight and had a face that was screaming you were excited the entire time."
"Sorry, sorry. It was my fault for asking that." Gale waved his hand and said, half apologetically. How could he not know that Julie, who was at Second Stage Nascent Soul Realm, wouldn't be able to notice his small actions?
Then he asked. "Shall we head toward the town now? I feel like the fight there is about to reach its climax."
Julie nodded her head, she also wanted to know the outcome of that fight, as it was very important.
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ As they went together, Julie said to Gale as if remembering something. "Hey, did you notice the situation in Burnheart Family? They are in a dire state, you could say."
"What happened?" Gale asked curiously as he didn't take a look at the Burnheart family when he was heading toward Nakal, to kill him.
"They are currently fending off the PoisonFire Clan army and are having a hard time, despite having a great number in their powerhouse body count."
"Oh, is it because of the arrays used by the army that I heard?" Gale was able to guess the reason immediately. "I have heard that with the help of arrays, you can take down someone with greater strength than you."
"Yes," Julie nodded her head, agreeing with Gale. "But why would you seem interested in such things? You are already a monster yourself."
"No, miss Julie, you can't say that. You are insulting the real monsters." Gale looked ahead at the broken town walls and said with a grin. "I think you will see what a real monster looks like."
