Star-Moon Kingdom, White River City.
Shi Feng and the others had fought continuously in the Starfall Secret Realm for eight days. They had long since grown sick of grinding monsters, and upon returning to the guild residence in White River City, every one of them felt as though they had come back to life.
However, before they could rest, they sensed the oppressive atmosphere pervading the entire guild residence.
"Guild Leader, you're finally back!" Orchid, who had been overseeing matters in the main hall, could not help showing a trace of excitement on her exhausted face when she saw Shi Feng return.
