Hu Xin'er suddenly looked up toward the horizon, her beautiful eyes turning solemn. "Someone's coming. They're experts in the Apex Realm, and there isn't just one of them!"
Lin Bai's eyes flickered. "This is the Sea of Gods and Demons. The sudden emergence of Apex Realm power will definitely draw the attention of the Order Divine Court!"
"What do we do now?" Hu Xin'er asked, looking at Lin Bai somewhat flustered.

Regret covered Lin Bai's face.
Hu Xin'er smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying it.
Just then, several figures appeared above Turtle
