Looking at Gu Zhen, the Black Annihilation Army's chief commander, who had come to report, Gu Nanhai frowned slightly at his earlier words. "Gu Zhen, you are already the foremost of the Black Annihilation Army's Eight Commanders. Why are you still acting so flustered? Gu Chen, our clan's Intermediate Half-Saint, is currently stationed at Jia Nan Academy on the Northwest Continent, isn't he?"
After reprimanding Gu Zhen, Gu Nanhai continued studying the intelligence reports at his desk. He possessed the calm composure of one whose expression did not change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, and it indeed gave Gu Zhen some reassurance, allowing him to slowly calm down.
"That's right. It's Elder Gu Chen, who was stationed at Jia Nan Academy."
"Mm. Then tell me what happened. Did that brat from the Thunder Clan make some move, or did those geniuses training on the Northwest Continent stir up some new trouble again?"
"Reporting to Elder, Elder Gu Chen's Life Tablet... shattered." After hesitating repeatedly, Gu Zhen finally spoke more slowly.
"Mm, these little... What did you say?"
Gu Nanhai's hand holding the intelligence report trembled slightly. He raised his head and stared at Gu Zhen in disbelief.
"Why didn't you tell me something this important sooner, you brat!?"
After roaring angrily, Gu Nanhai vanished from the room in an instant, though his departing figure carried a trace of urgency.
Gu Zhen's mouth twitched, and he felt equally helpless.
Didn't you tell me to be more composed...?
Gu Nanhai swiftly arranged for men to gather personnel and prepare to depart. He then had word sent to the Ancient Clan geniuses on the Northwest Continent, ordering them to return as quickly as possible. After reporting the matter to the higher-ups, he immediately led a team toward the Northwest Continent!
