The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 107: The Losses of Stone Town

"Thank you Young Master Lin, for your willingness to safeguard and secure the people of Stone Town." Nobles Jingmi's words were sincere when dealing with Lin Fan. Disciples from the White Cloud Sect were assigned to guard the basement.

The room is large enough to accommodate thousands of people. The conditions in the room are also quite luxurious complete with furniture and lighting, to look like a residence in general.

"It has been my duty and responsibility, Mr. Jingmi. You don't have to be shaken." Reply Lin Fan respectfully made Nobles Jingmi smile small.

The look of fatigue was clearly imprinted on the face of Nobles Jingmi. And also a more visibly guilty look as his gaze fell on the thousands of Stone Town residents who were staring at the Jingmi Nobles with a sincere smile as if to convey gratitude for having kindly lent his residence to protect selves.

Yet the sincere gazes of those people instead calmed down but added guilt to the Jingmi Nobles. Shaking his head slowly, the Jingmi Nobles asked about whether there was still another place where the people of Stone Town were hiding.

"In the White Cloud Sect, Mr. Jingmi." Answer Lin Fan. Lin Fan explained that the number of people who managed to be saved was not only in this place. But some of them were secured in the headquarters of the White Cloud Sect with a larger number of people in the basement of the Jingmi Nobles. The White Cloud Sect had also become one of the unspoiled locations of the battle during these two days.

Lin Fan also added that the number of people in Batu City who were saved was estimated at five thousand people. Starting from ordinary people, small merchant families to wealthy merchants, scholars, the protective forces of Stone Town, servants, workers in the government of Stone City, as well as the Jingmi Nobles family.

"The figure has not entered if added with the number of cultivators from the White Cloud Sect." Said Lin Fan closing his explanation. That meant that the number of five thousand people was not included with the number of cultivators of the White Cloud Sect.

The number of cultivators in the White Cloud Sect were also thousands of people. A considerable amount for a middle sect class sect. Cultivators in the White Cloud Sect might be able to save their own survival some time, but it was different story if it was an ordinary human.

Hearing that made Royalty Jingmi's head throb even more. He never imagined how much the damage caused by this attack. Not to mention the shadow of how they continue their lives in the future. There will be many communities that have no place to settle down and a place to earn a living.

Lin Fan and the people who knew that were certainly aware of the cause of the Jingmi Nobles' anxiety and they were well aware of that. But they kept their mouths shut and did not know what to take.

"Alright, if Young Master Lin doesn't mind, what if Young Master leads me to the white Cloud Sect to check the situation there." Ask the Jingmi Nobles quietly. He needs to ascertain the situation further before discussing what steps they should take.

"No need to hesitate, Mr. Jingmi." Reply Lin Fan as he passed escorting the Jingmi Nobles towards the White Cloud Sect.

~~

The conditions in the White Cloud Sect were not much different from the basement of the Jingmi Nobles. The Patriarch of the White Cloud Sect, Patriarch Wen Huan and the elders of the sect seemed to let out a rough sigh as he looked at the thousands of people who were in the sect.

They have the same thoughts. After the destruction of Stone City, how will they survive next? How can we overcome this great loss? Moreover, there were many ordinary humans in the sect.

"Sorry Patriarch Wen Huan, in front of the Jingmi Nobles and their entourage are waiting for the Patriarch to arrive."

Patriarch Wen Huan turned his head for a moment then nodded his head, after which walked out followed by the elders of the White Cloud Sect.

Some time had passed since the decline of the Nine Snake Sect and the Devil Claw Sect, and the fight was over. The night has passed and the dawn is welcome. Severe chaos has been successfully dealt with, although there is still a lot of damage that must be repaired.

Shortly after the bodies were cleared, the Rose Flower Organization group decided to return to their main headquarters. Because the Rose Flower Organization has certain contracts when their services are used, when the mission ends, the contract is also completed.

The group leader of the Rose Flower Organization handed over a letter with a special stamp of the Rose Flower Organization addressed to the Jingmi Nobles, a sign of the cooperation being completed. The leader of the group also stated that they would not receive gifts for their services, but would donate them to the Batu City treasury for the shopping of the city building.

The decision of the organization was certainly well received and full of joy by the Stone City.

In contrast to the Rose Flower Organization, the neutral white sect group decided to settle for longer in Stone City on the grounds of checking the slight truth of the information that plagued their minds.

As of this moment, a group of neutral white sects were gathering in one of the empty halls of the second residence of the Jingmi Nobles to discuss some matters. Sitting in a circle like a round table, and at the end of the table, precisely at the head were Elder Fang, Elder Tang and Elder Tuoli who were leading the meeting.

"Have the letters been sent?" Ask Elder Fang. The letter in question was a report letter regarding their mission in Stone City sent to each sect. The question Elder Fang reciprocated a polite nod from every sect representative.

"alright. We have also discussed this matter with the Jingmi Nobles. It is likely that we will have to wait for approximately two weeks before the Emperor's decision comes down." Follow Elder Fang.

As the Jingmi Nobles and Patriarchs and White Cloud Sect elders held a sudden meeting due to the great losses of Stone City. Parties from the neutral white sect were also present in the discussion. And the decision they took was to submit a proposal of financial assistance from the Qin Empire. And also donations from the large and medium-sized Sect of the neutral white stream.

They only need to wait some time until the letter arrives at each destination and wait whether the proposal for the Stone City repair fund submission is accepted or not.

Hearing the imperial name, Qin Lienhua rounded her eyes. 'Perhaps if I send a message to father then the imperial side will intervene.' Qin Lienhua murmured in his heart. However, as the crown princess of the Qin Empire, she could not sit quietly watching her people suffer.
