The leader stood frozen in place after hearing this.
After a while, he could no longer hold his anger and punched a towering tree, leaving a fist-shaped imprint.
Leaves scattered and fell.
"Damn it!" He yelled angrily, throwing punch after punch, "It's bad enough that the people from the Upper Realm are bullying us, but now even the people from the Lower Realm are doing the same..."
His fists were already a bloody mess.
The smell of blood was heavy in the air.
Lin Zhixia was no longer concerned about being scared. She hurried over and grabbed his hand. "Uncle De, don't hurt yourself!"
Uncle De turned to look at her, his eyes misty with tears. "Second Miss, I... I almost caused harm to you and to Hundred Pass Town."
If they had still been waiting for the Water-Suppressing Pearl when the great flood arrived, and had not let the people evacuate, who knows how many would have died by then?
