Today's first update: Chapter 2479! 1/4!
Plague God Lü Yue had six Plague Gods, Five Plague Envoys, and three hundred and sixty Plague Shamans under his command, forming an enormous system of faith centered on the Plague God.
Just like the Awakening Secret Realm, Blazing God's Tomb, that Xu Kun had chosen back then, as a Plague Dao Inheritor, he had come to the Nine Dragon Mountain ruins to undergo the trials arranged by Plague God Lü Yue.

Just like in Blazing God's Tomb, what Xu Kun had obtained when he finally met Blazing God Chongli was undoubtedly the greatest treasure, but the gains along the way could not be overlooked either.
