"The previous Demon Calamity in the Starflare Mortal Domain wasn't serious enough to alarm the Marquis of Northcloud."
"The last Demon Calamity only ravaged a single region within a mortal domain." Gu Feng shook his head and said gravely, "But this time, the entire Desolate Void Mortal Domain has fallen.
"The Evil Fiend is now driving the Demon Calamity toward the true domains.
"If it starts ravaging the true domains, the disaster will be far beyond anything the likes of the Undying Evil Lord could cause."
To be honest,
Gu Feng had been stunned when he received the news.
Demon Calamities that overran entire mortal domains were exceedingly rare even in historical records.
But whenever such a Demon Calamity occurred,
it was a threat that all of Northcloud Prefecture had to take seriously.
"The Marquis of Northcloud governs all of Northcloud Prefecture. Surely he can deal with a Demon Calamity?" Qin Shujian asked.
"Once a Demon Calamity reaches this scale, it spreads extremely quickly. Even if the Imperial Court mobilizes troops from across the land, that still takes time. If things drag on too long, I'm afraid..."
Gu Feng stopped there.
This Demon Calamity had come far too suddenly.
By the time anyone reacted, it had already grown into a major threat.
It wasn't just the Marquis of Northcloud.
Even the Imperial Court seemed to have received word.
Otherwise,
the Marquis of Northcloud wouldn't have been in such a hurry to summon every sect and faction, hoping to seize this opportunity to wipe out the Demon Calamity in one decisive strike.
"What does the Marquis of Northcloud want the Origin Sect to do?"
"He hopes the Origin Sect will send people to join the other factions and the Imperial Court's army in containing the Demon Calamity within the mortal domain.
