"How could this be? How could this be..." The Southern Border battle report had already arrived. Immortal Zi Wei muttered under her breath, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
The once grand and empty hall was now suffused with doubt.

Immortal Zi Wei had long known that the Southern Border Gu Immortals had been captured by Fang Yuan. She had not expected the same fate to descend upon Heavenly Court so quickly.
A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal had actually been captured alive!
How long had it been since such a thing last happened?

Now that he has reached rank eight and mastered Xia Cha's various methods, although he relied on the geographical advantage of the Five Regions Mountain Range to greatly weaken his opponents, he truly poses a threat to Heavenly Court Gu Immortals!"
Immortal Zi Wei let out a long sigh.
She had long anticipated that such a day would come. Thus, she had tried every possible means to strangle this danger in its cradle beforehand. Yet she had never imagined Fang Yuan's progress would be so fierce and swift!
"Fang Yuan's rate of improvement is getting faster and faster.
