Immortal Lord Cangmo stood alone in Cangwu Hall.
The hall doors were closed, and the candle flames swayed gently.
The elders had all departed.
The hall was so quiet he could hear himself breathe.
He walked to the doors with his hands behind his back and looked up at the rolling sea of clouds beyond.
Dusk had deepened.
Below the clouds, countless spirit trees swayed in the night wind, their canopies rippling in layered green waves.
The distant rumble of a falling spirit river drifted over.
It sounded near and far at once.
Master has been in seclusion with no intention of emerging for over three thousand years.
Immortal Lord Cangmo pondered silently.
His master, Immortal Lord Yunheng, had been the previous Saint Lord of Cangwu Holy Land.
He was at the mid Profound Immortal stage, only one step from the late Profound Immortal stage.
Three thousand years ago, Immortal Lord Yunheng had obtained a mid-grade Profound Tier divine herb and entered seclusion in the deepest part of the holy land.
He would not emerge unless the holy land faced utter destruction.
The Blazing Lion Demon Court is coming on strong, but fighting hasn't actually begun.
Disturbing Master's seclusion now would be inappropriate...
Immortal Lord Cangmo looked away and paced slowly around the hall twice.
But if the Golden Qilin Demon Court truly intervenes, I fear I can't withstand them alone.
Everyone in the High Heaven Grand World knew how terrifying the Golden Qilin Demon Court was.
It stood first among the Myriad Demon Race's nine Demon Courts, with at least five Profound Immortal Demon Lords openly holding the fort.
Five Profound Immortals, including a great Demon Lord at the peak Profound Immortal stage.
The thought alone pressed against Immortal Lord Cangmo's chest like a mountain.
