Penglai Island, a mysterious plaza, was exceptionally silent beneath the dim sky.
Massive black dragon pillars stood everywhere. Atop them were dark iron dragon heads, each lifelike yet posed differently. Their sole similarity was the white spirit fire burning within every dragon's mouth.

Once the scarlet-robed figure turned around, Divine Lord Tiande finally spoke.
The scarlet-robed figure before him was naturally Divine Lord Jiu Ying, while the one in black robes was Divine Lord Tiande.

Some had vanished in the Central Region, while others had disappeared in the Eastern Region and the East Sea.
