"Teacher Qu, what happened?" Jiang Chuan asked.
"The Blood Sea Divine Cult has launched mad attacks on the major cities of Peacock Country!" Qu Shi replied.
"What?! The Blood Sea Divine Cult attacked Peacock Country?!"
Jiang Chuan and Sun Yanfeng spoke in unison.
They exchanged a glance, each seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes.
They had just been discussing whether to invite Chu Wan'er into Peacock Country to search for the Blood Sea Demonic Immortal and the Blood Sea Divine Cult, yet the very next moment, the Blood Sea Divine Cult had attacked Peacock Country's major cities.
"Don't waste time. Come with me."
Led by Qu Shi, Jiang Chuan and Sun Yanfeng flew into the meeting room beneath the City Lord's Mansion.
One screen in the meeting room displayed the faces of the Azure Martial King, Chu Wan'er, the Netherkill Ancient Immortal, and the others.
Another screen showed several cities engulfed in blazing flames.
Within those cities, Peacock Country cultivators were locked in fierce combat with Blood Sea Divine Cult cultivators shrouded in blood mist.
"Why did the Blood Sea Divine Cult suddenly launch an attack on Peacock Country?" Sun Yanfeng was deeply puzzled.
"Jiang Chuan probably startled the snake in the grass," the Netherkill Ancient Immortal replied. "Blood Sea had already been plotting against Peacock Country and the Indian Ocean, but Peacock Country captured Blood Sea Divine Cult cultivators. Blood Sea—or rather, the Blood Sea Divine Cult—feared the situation would be exposed, so they launched their operation ahead of schedule."
"They moved ahead of schedule over such a trivial matter? Isn't the Blood Sea Demonic Immortal afraid of failing?" Sun Yanfeng asked.
"Who could say that every battle they fought would certainly be won?"
Jiang Chuan knew well that there was no such thing as a guaranteed victory
