Gan Yang Sacred Sect's headquarters was vast and boundless, and many Saints were secluded in their respective estates and palaces.
Suddenly.
"Shang Yue, come here!"
"Fei Hua, hurry over!" One urgent, sharp shout after another rang deep within the hearts of more than ten Saints.
Moreover, the voices seemed to stir some forbidden force in the unseen, causing the eyes of Saint Shangyue, Saint Feihua, and the others to redden slightly.
"It's the Saint Emperor's command!"
"There's an enemy!"
"Quick, hurry to the forbidden grounds and help the Saint Emperor!" The dozen or so Saints reached an agreement in an instant. One after another, they rushed out of their palaces and toward the depths of the forbidden grounds.
At that moment—
"Rumble!" Array formations revolved above the vast forbidden grounds. The innermost formation in particular transformed into flames that filled the sky, stretching across hundreds of millions of li in a magnificent blaze, like a world-destroying fire enveloping all of Heaven and Earth.
Its mighty aura shook the entirety of Gan Yang Sacred Sect's headquarters, immediately alerting the Sacred Sect's many Undying elders and Sovereign disciples.
"What's that?"
"It's coming from the forbidden grounds. The Saints—the Saints seem to be heading there?"
"The forbidden grounds' array formation has been activated. Could a powerful enemy have forced their way inside?" The many Undying experts of Gan Yang Sacred Sect watched the streaks of light shoot across the sky.
There was no mistaking it. Those were the auras of Saints.
"Our Gan Yang Sacred Sect has so many Saints? They're all heading there? What sort of enemy could it be? Could a Saint Emperor from another Sacred Sect have infiltrated the grounds?" The many Undying experts were uneasy.
The many Sovereigns couldn't sense things as clearly, leaving them both shocked and confused.
