Just as Xun Yuan stood flustered and at a loss for what to do, the central array lit up.
Figures materialized out of thin air.
Such a large-scale emotional shock, coupled with the imminent riots, had already made the "higher-ups" unable to remain calm. At this point, even the chief supervisor of the array lacked the authority to handle it, and could only temporarily take charge of this side and have a personage capable of calling the shots project their image across space to appear beside Xun Yuan.
Xun Yuan's heart tightened then relaxed, and he hastily bowed to the manifested figure.
The newcomer was tall and thin, with a pair of handlebar mustaches popular in the northern lands on his lips. His face was stern, and his eyes at first glance appeared jade-green; only upon close inspection did one realize it was countless layers of green light overlapping and flowing with a crystalline radiance. Gazing into them for too long left one dizzy and disoriented.
Xun Yuan remembered that this was the Hundred Layer Sect's premier expert, Divine Lord Cold Bamboo, a Calamity Law Grandmaster who had already survived three calamities.
The Hundred Layer Sect was relatively low-profile, but its strength was extremely formidable. Belonging to an Earth-tier Sect of the Xiyu Alliance, it excelled in successive explosive strike techniques and was even more proficient in spiritual intent attacks. Divine Lord Cold Bamboo's ability to become the number one person in the sect truly made him a top-tier powerhouse in the north.
In the realm of void spiritual intent attacks, he was also an authoritative figure, second only to Chu Yuanxiang of the Pure Void Virtue Sect.
Sending him to handle the situation hit the nail on the head and shot with a targeted arrow.
