"What's going on?"
Zhang Xuan's expression darkened instantly. He was the first to rise and walk to the window, pulling back the curtains to look outside.
The once-bustling street had descended into chaos. Many martial artists were sprinting toward the edge of the main city, their faces panicked as they shouted nonstop.
Xia Zhiqiu came over too. After listening for a moment, his expression turned grim.

"They're the ones in trouble! They were abducted by the Demon Race, along with more than three hundred warriors!"
An uproar erupted—

"The Third War Zone is less than three thousand li from Heavenly King Hall! Are they throwing all pretense aside and declaring all-out war?!"
"Damn those demons! Despicable bastards!"
"Even the Two King Lords were abducted? What are we supposed to do? In the Demon Race's hands, their chances don't look good..."
"What the hell is there to be afraid of?!"
At a table in the corner, a young cultivator shot to his feet.
"Come on! To the front! I'm killing a few demons today to vent this anger!"
Several people beside him immediately joined in.
"Yeah! To the front!"
"We can't let the Demon Race get away with this!"
