This new group wore the same sect uniform as the succubus girl, and Arthur quickly noticed that one of them was a dryad, similar to the ones he and Evan had dealt with before.
All of them were ridiculously attractive, exuding a natural charm, though none of them quite reached the intensity radiating from the succubus.
They hurried toward Crim, their expressions a mix of concern and curiosity.
"Crim! We heard you were fighting! What happened?"
One of them asked, clearly worried, while Crim scratched the back of her head, a sheepish look on her face.
"Well, those five over there were talking badly about your sect because it's a Dual Cultivation sect…"
She said, gesturing toward the unconscious figures on the ground. Then, motioning to the succubus girl, she continued.
"They also mentioned Hibiki, and I got pissed. So, I beat them."
The succubus—Hibiki—blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting that she was the reason Crim had gotten into a fight.
