That earth-shattering saber strike had drawn quite a crowd on Devil's Island. After all, they could count on one hand the number of times they had heard the alarm sound in their lives, and now, as luck would have it, it had happened again.

He had originally thought that giving Lin Shuguang seven days would be just about enough for him to learn the [Horizontal Sun Moon Slash].

Then he hurried out of Lin Shuguang's quarters
