In the canyon outside the cave, there seemed to be a conflict between disciples of two sects as they shouted and cursed at each other.
"I'm not afraid of you."
"Who's afraid of whom?"
That was the general situation.
The shouting involved the Bilan Sect and the Purple Cloud Sect; Chu Jingtang and Brother Lao led their respective groups, both sides appearing very agitated. A large crowd of onlookers didn't just watch; many intervened between the two groups to separate and stop the cursing.
Some tried to comfort both sides, saying things like "We're all from the same group."
Others held back both sides, pressing them down.
At the entrance of the cave, Wan Daoyuan and others frowned as they watched. Seeing that a fight hadn't erupted and since the factions weren't from their area, they hadn't planned to intervene, but amidst the shouting, the name Mulan Qingqing was sporadically mentioned.
