South of the Great Snow Mountain and the islands stood a towering peak that pierced the clouds.
At this moment, the peak was packed with martial artists. A closer look revealed that all of them were martial artists from the Southern Region.
Among them were the Holy Sons and ordinary martial artists of the Southern Region's four Flourishing Sects, as well as Holy Sons and martial artists from the other top and ordinary sects of the Southern Region.
The Holy Sons and Holy Daughter of the Southern Region's four Flourishing Sects stood atop the mountain. The sun and moon stood beside them, while a sea of clouds steamed up from beneath their feet.
The four had entirely different auras. The Mountain Sea Sect's Holy Son, Jiang Yu, was dressed in white and looked like an exiled immortal; the Witch Sect's Holy Son, Ling Wen, wore a sinister, charming smile, his demonic air pressing down on all around him.
The Barbarian Sect's Holy Son, Tuo Baxin, possessed a grand and imposing bearing, like a towering mountain; the Southern Border Insect Valley's Holy Daughter, Rong Yunxin, wore an icy expression and resembled a celestial maiden from the moon palace.
A voice like the quack of a drake echoed over, making the four frown and curiously raise their heads toward the sky.
"This seems to be... the voice of Eunuch Gui, the close attendant at Chu Emperor's side." The Mountain Sea Sect's Holy Son, Jiang Yu, frowned and muttered.
The Witch Sect's Holy Son, Ling Wen, furrowed his brows. "He must be conveying Chu Emperor's order. He wouldn't dare issue orders to the martial artists inside the Hunting Realm without going through Chu Emperor."
The Southern Border Insect Valley's Holy Daughter, Rong Yunxin, said, "This has never happened in the Hunting Realm before."
