Familiar, Unfamiliar

BOOM!

A violent explosion rocked the pirate ship.

A young man in tattered robes burst out from below deck, his hands shackled but his eyes blazing with defiance. Behind him, dozens of slaves and cultivators followed, attacking the pirate crew with whatever weapons they could grab.

The battle turned chaotic. Blood splattered across the deck as the slaves fought desperately for freedom.

A young woman.

Her robes were torn, her long, dried hair covering most of her face. But through the strands, Yun Lintian could see her features clearly.

Familiar.

Yet he couldn't place where he had seen her before.

The young man leading the rebellion roared, shattering his shackles with brute force. "Kill them all!"
