Chapter 997: Rescue at Qin King's Ridge. The next day.
At dawn, more than a dozen figures gathered before the gates of Forgotten River City.
These were all Immortal Cultivators whom Chen Yan had assembled on short notice in Forgotten River City the day before. Every one of them was above the Qi Sea Realm.
Among them, the two with the highest cultivation were Wanhua Realm experts.
The slightly stronger of the two, an Immortal Cultivator who had already condensed more than forty-seven hundred strands of Destiny True Qi, was named Li Jianzhang.

The other Wanhua Realm cultivator was slightly weaker and was named Lian Anzhi.
