"What?!" Feng Luotian, who was looking for a path to retreat, immediately turned his attention back to the enemies at Axel Wood after he heard Quan Yun's distressed voice.
Witnessing the bloodied old man, Luotian as well as Mei Yue'er and Sun Wuji felt their blood boil.
Cheng Hai quickly drew his fiancée into his arms, shielding her from the sight below. Quan Yun sobbed quietly against him, held in the warmth of his embrace.
His arms kept her close while he remained facing the captives. He had recognized his own family in that crowd, yet there was no safe opening for either of them to rush down. Quan Yun's quiet sobs and the tremor he was struggling to contain stayed on the hillside with them.
For all his outward composure, Cheng Hai was trembling inside. He had his own family among those captives too.
As much as they wanted to rush there and save everyone, they both knew that they could not act rashly.
