Chapter 1137
Late autumn lingered.
Bleak, murderous, and stifling.
The Sage of Great Star River Palace gripped a jade slip.
His brow suddenly tightened.
He had never heard of Star River Palace, a great sect of the Eastern Wasteland, making way for anyone—much less shrinking its defensive perimeter.
As the one guarding Kuiying Mountain, he had to hurry and lead the disciples out.
If the jade slip had not come from a mighty Dao Lord, he would have thought it was some fool's prank, or a forgery by their enemies meant to make them abandon Kuiying Mountain.
As a bridgehead, this place stood upon the Demon Abyss front line and was rich in Spirit Stone mines and earth-origin spirit veins. It was a pillar of the sect.
To confirm whether they truly had to withdraw completely, the Sage of Great Star River Palace lit up his communication jade slip.
The moment it lit up, an ancient voice came from it. "You are the third person to activate the jade slip at this hour."
The Sage was greatly shocked. "May I ask, Elder, what major event has occurred that requires us to withdraw from the main camp, leaving not a single cultivator behind from top to bottom?"
"They say the Yin soldiers are borrowing passage."
"The notice has already been delivered to the Palace Master."
"Yin soldiers?"
"The Underworld."
The ancient voice continued, "The great powers of Yin Heaven are no weaker than our Great Star River Palace."
"Before long, a heaven-shaking event will occur at Heavenly Abyss."
"Do not hesitate. Withdraw every disciple."
"Withdraw quickly!"
"This is the patriarch's decree!"
The ancient mighty cultivator spoke with ringing, unwavering conviction.
"And no matter who takes over Kuiying Mountain afterward, warn the sect's disciples never to make a move."
"Have you remembered?"
