In a damp, cold cave on an unknown planet, Nan Ma rubbed his hands by the fire. A creature resembling a goat was being roasted over the fire, its meaty aroma making Nan Ma's mouth water. He was very keen on eating, yet the other Pilgrims sitting beside him all had grim expressions.
"Nan Ma, can you really still eat at a time like this? Our Star Warrior Sect has been utterly destroyed! It was our only force in this universe, and now, aside from a few of our subordinates, we are weaker than any other civilization's military force," said a Pilgrim with a child's body but an old man's face, Xue Jiu, accusingly.
Nan Ma didn't take it to heart and replied, "Are you planning to stick to me now that the Star Warrior Sect has been entirely devoured by the Swarm? If it weren't for me, that Duke from the Swarm would probably have killed you all."
The mention of the powerful Swarm Duke caused several Pilgrims to shudder involuntarily.
