As Fang Yuan looked at Qin Baihe and You Chan, whose faces were filled with panic, his gaze was cold as ice.
"Looks like the Gu Immortal Realm had enjoyed peace for too long. The East Sea was famously rich in resources, and these peaceful years had lasted far too long. My sudden attack truly caught the two of them off guard."
If this were the period of the Great Era of Chaos in the Five Regions, when the world was in turmoil, every Gu Immortal would have been highly vigilant.

The risks were enormous while the rewards were meager, so Gu Immortals were usually unwilling to engage in life-and-death struggles.
