When we landed, the grand hall that should have stood in magnificent splendor had been battered into ruins by the fighting. The ground struck by Sword Qi was hideously torn, split by gaping cracks. I had visited the Dao Alliance's Celestial Venerable Realm before, but where was the magnificence and solemnity now? Only the traces left behind by battle remained.
It seemed they had discovered that I had entered the realm with Li Guxian and Xie Yuhua. More than a hundred auras immediately rushed toward us from every direction, but the area I had sensed was enormous, and it would not be easy for those auras to arrive anytime soon.
"Bad news... City Lord, I heard the thoughts of the sisters in the Women's Legion earlier. Because Hua Ran and Ruyan Huan were worried about the Dao Alliance's situation, they had already rushed to the Dao Alliance after Zhang Zhenyun died. Judging by the timing, I'm afraid they may have joined this dispute as well!" Xie Yuhua reminded me anxiously.
"What? Why would the two of them come here to join in the fun?" I was startled. I had not heard anyone report this when I came earlier.
It seemed I could not simply rely on memorials. I had paid little attention to the movement of personnel within the Women's Legion, and had consequently overlooked this.
Both Hua Ran and Ruyan Huan were members of the Xiaoyao Sword Sea faction. Before Ziyang Zhenren passed away back then, he had asked everyone to join forces to consolidate, resist, and restrain Zhang Zhenyun's faction. Now that Zhang Zhenyun was dead, the balance between the factions was bound to shatter at once. Naturally, localized clashes would break out.
"I don't know either... I'm not that familiar with the sisters in the Women's Legion..."
