Soul Sage
John prepared himself to attack at any moment. Although he knew which power the four were from, he still didn't let down his guard.
The four were surprised that John was able to neutralize the bewitching soul art used by the girl. Although she wasn't an amazing cultivator within their sect, they were still used to such a thing working, at least for a moment. The three of them were Outer Disciples, while the girl who had used the soul art was an Inner Disciple.
"There appears to be a misunderstanding," the girl replied in her calm voice. "Our Divine Soul Sect and your Heavenly Lightning Sect have never been enemies. Our arrows were meant to prevent your friend from disturbing the waters, and the soul art I used was to persuade you to leave the area."
"Then tell me, why are you so concerned about us disturbing the water?" John asked.
