Changes in the Sea God Pavilion

Ever since Jiang Ming's strength had reached the pinnacle of the continent, Zhang Lexuan had no longer worried much about his safety.

After all, back in the western outskirts of Radiant City, Jiang Ming had managed to break out even when he had been ambushed by nearly the full might of the Sun Moon Empire—despite being only level ninety-four at the time!

Now, Jiang Ming's cultivation had already reached Level Ninety-Six!

With Jiang Ming's current strength, there were practically no people or Soul Beasts left on the continent capable of threatening him.

Yet now, the Sun Moon Empire had suddenly spread so much news about Jiang Ming. Though all of it was wildly exaggerated slander meant to frame him, the timing made it hard not to overthink things. To do this while Jiang Ming was missing...

"Elder Xuan, I request permission to make a trip to the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire!"

Zhang Lexuan frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

Jiang Ming had previously told her that his seventh trial was to kill the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign in the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire!

The Demon Forest lay within Sun Moon Empire territory. If Jiang Ming had truly met with some accident there, it was not impossible for the Sun Moon Empire to have received word in advance.

"I'm going too!"

"I'll go."

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen spoke up as well.

All three girls believed that Jiang Ming's strength meant he would not come to harm, but false rumors were now flying everywhere, and they could not contact him. They wanted to do something.

At the very least, the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire was a lead.

"To the Sun Moon Empire? No!"

Elder Xuan immediately rejected the three girls' proposal.
