Innate Lifespan: Misunderstanding and Coincidence (Part 1)

Because of recent events, the cultivators from the various sects who had stayed late could not leave for the time being. It was not strange for one or two fiends to emerge from the Northern Wastes, but something like Sanlian Bastions, so utterly unrestrained that it swept up righteous and demonic alike in one blow, was truly rare.

"What is the point of merely keeping records? A great fiend like that obediently signing his name and sealing it with his mark for the sake of some third-rate cave residence? Heh, at least I cannot imagine it!"
