The sky was as gloomy as ever.
The cumulonimbus clouds twisted.
The dark sea that devoured the light heaved and surged, its waves overlapping and intertwining as they repeatedly crashed against the shore.
The storm was coming.
The docks of Demon Port were already deserted.

Because of Don's return.

The news had also leaked, and many adventurers were heading to Ma Dang Mountain.

Mr. Duke could still forcibly stop them.
But with the participation of the local power-holders and the prying eyes of outside forces, he also felt immense pressure. In the end, he chose to ally with the top experts of the Demon Port Management Committee to jointly resist the outside organizations.

As the saying went, only a fierce dragon could cross the river.
Those who still dared to come after hearing that it was the "Return Journey Research Institute ruins" were either ignorant and fearless or immensely powerful. And in the Supernatural World, especially the underworld, there were very few truly ignorant people.
As everyone knew.
The Return Journey Research Institute ruins were the most terrifying of all.
