Ice and Snow Wilderness, Eskil City...
To remote-sensing crystals, distance was meaningless. Thus, news of Zhang Tie's appearance on Star Moon Island reached Eskil City by noon, only a few hours later.
A Spencer Family trading group in Ewindara received the news and immediately sent it back to Eskil City.
Over five years, on the original site of the Spencer Family's Iron Bear Fortress in Eskil City, an even taller and more magnificent Iron Bear Fortress had risen once more.
One of the underground chambers within Iron Bear Fortress was where Elder Turing of the Spencer Family secluded himself for cultivation.
The moment Elder Rudolf received the news, he rushed to where Elder Turing was in seclusion and used an emergency method to awaken him from the chamber.
Elder Rudolf waited anxiously outside the chamber door. After a full ten minutes, the alloy door before him slid silently open, and Elder Turing, his face cold and stern, slowly appeared before him.
"What is it?" Elder Turing's tone was calm, but a trace of displeasure lay beneath that calmness.
No one would be pleased to have a knight's cultivation and seclusion interrupted. Within the Spencer Family, everyone knew that the one who truly controlled the family's fate was Elder Turing, who had become a knight. Though Elder Rudolf was also an elder, he was not a knight, and his seniority within the family was vastly lower than Elder Turing's. Therefore, especially when no outsiders were present, Elder Rudolf behaved before Elder Turing exactly as if facing one of his own elders, cautious in every respect.
Elder Rudolf explained everything as quickly as he could.
The trace of displeasure between Elder Turing's brows vanished at once, and two piercing beams of light flashed from his eyes.
"Is the news true?"
"It is.
