Luo Yan had no idea why the Vermilion Bird had attacked Xing City. He was wondering whether he should enter the palace and deal with this Divine Beast when Jia Miao's voice rang out over the communication channel.

Jia Miao and the other experts and scholars would certainly go to the site in person, so the ground forces had to follow as well. There were also Ding He and several other adventurers, along with a few medical personnel.
