A thicket in the woods

"Let me go!" Tiana screamed from the bottom of her lungs, trying to wrestle herself free from the hands of her fellow disciples. 

Or could they even still be called like that when their sect was up in flames while their master went with no news about his fate?

"Why do you think he rushed off like that in the first place?!" Luo snapped at the girl. He stood right in front of her while leaving the job of holding her down to the two of his stronger brothers. 

The four of them were now safely hidden deep in the woods. A feat that only a few civilians from the city managed to achieve. Yet, contrary to the group of young cultivators, they didn't dare to stop in the first thicket they could find. 

All the people that Tiana could see passing by were rushing to get as far away from the burning city as possible.
