The Precious Medicine Gang's training ground had been cleared on Zhu Yunbo's orders. Only his trusted men stood around its perimeter.
He had also sent word that a thunderstorm was coming and told everyone not to panic.
"Our young gang leader can predict the weather? What level of cultivation is that?"
Several skilled Precious Medicine Gang fighters looked stunned and kept glancing toward the training ground.
Just then, one of their fighters hurried over with Ji Nian and Li Jun, only to be stopped at the perimeter.
"Don't go into the training ground. Lord Yang and the young gang leader are studying the weather in there."
Studying the weather? Ji Nian and Li Jun paused.
The fighter who had led them there said quietly:
"These two say they're good friends of Lord Yang."
The guards took a closer look and recognized Ji Nian and Li Jun at once.
They had seen for themselves at the Nightless Tower's Clear Water Hall that the two were close to Yang Ling.
Li Jun asked curiously, "Lord Yang is studying the weather?"
Ji Nian frowned. How could there be weather inside the Abyssal Beast Grotto?
He glanced up. At least a dozen miles above the ground, clouds and mist swirled around the cavern roof, with faint light flickering through them.
If he hadn't known beforehand that this was a beast grotto, he would have taken it for the sky.
"We're not too sure. The young gang leader told us to stay out of the training ground for now."
"I see..."
The fighter who had led them there turned to Ji Nian and Li Jun, looking troubled:
"Could you two wait a little longer?"
"I have something important to discuss with Lord Yang. Please take us to him."
Ji Nian's expression was grave.
"All right.
