Several days later.
Two astonishing pieces of news shook Redscale Island, leaving everyone who heard them dumbstruck!
The first was that a battle between Refiners had erupted in Changlin Commandery of the Pingcang Kingdom. The clash of three Human Dao Grandmasters shook heaven and earth, like a natural disaster sweeping through.
One of them had fought the other two alone and captured them on the spot.
To ordinary cultivators, first-rank blood exchange was already an unattainable summit, while Refiners belonged to the realm of legends, alongside immortals and gods.
In the past, such a battle between Refiners would have drawn the attention of millions, fueling heated discussion for years.
Yet beside the second piece of news, even a battle between Qi Refiners paled into insignificance.
The Eastern Ning Kingdom, with its six-hundred-year legacy, had fallen!
Its destruction had caught everyone utterly unprepared and chilled them to the bone. Rumor had it that Blood Alliance experts had launched a surprise attack on the Eastern Ning Kingdom's capital and slain its sovereign outright.
The ruler of the Eastern Ning Kingdom had died on the spot, and the other high-ranking officials had suffered heavy casualties. Amid the chaos, Blood Alliance forces hidden within the capital had seized their chance to rise up, slaughtering all who resisted in less than a day.
Over the preceding years, the Blood Alliance had advanced fiercely, but it had largely swallowed up territory one commandery at a time. Who could have imagined that it would suddenly act with such violence?
Of course, what no one had expected even more was that the Blood Alliance truly possessed the power to destroy a kingdom.
It was simply too astonishing, enough to leave people reeling. Every faction on Redscale Island, great and small, fell into panic.
Changlin Commandery's capital.
