Underworld Bureau.
Kui Shan, who had been drawing spirit talismans inside a cave, suddenly stopped. A strange smile appeared on his face.
After the Nine Tomb Guarding Clans formed an alliance with the Underworld Bureau, they had once asked the Lord of the Underworld for Kui Shan, only to be refused. From then on, Kui Shan had never left this cave.
Now, he had fallen entirely into a state of madness.
He looked like a lunatic whose oil had run dry and lamp had gone out—skin stretched over bones, thin as a skeleton.
"I never expected Chen, fellow Daoist, to be the first to act. I truly underestimated you back then. You rose to this level so quickly. As expected of that person's reincarnation." Kui Shan's voice grew quieter and quieter, while the flames in his eyes burned ever brighter.
Myriad Manifestation Immortal Sect.
Tang Hai led a group of elders into the main hall.
The disturbance earlier had been far too great. All the elders still within the sect had gathered in the hall. Though their ancestor's eruption of Tribulation Crossing Realm power had greatly excited them, the thought of an unknown enemy still left them uneasy.
Anyone capable of making their ancestor use Tribulation Crossing Realm strength could not possibly be an ordinary figure.
"Troubled times, troubled times indeed."
"The Immortal Cultivation World is becoming more and more chaotic. Ever since the Blood Demon began running rampant, there has not been a single peaceful place under heaven."
"We barely survived the Fire Crow Tribe crisis, and now we have provoked an unknown enemy. Who knows when this will ever end?"
A group of elders who had joined the Myriad Manifestation Immortal Sect midway gathered around Tang Hai, their faces filled with worry.
Forces above the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
