It was the night before Cheng Yu struggled to survive on the Skywalk.
Inside the Human Emperor's bedchamber in the Central Capital.
Qin Shuo erased the letter in his hand into nothingness, his face expressionless.
Shen Xuan had already appeared behind him at some point.
Without turning his head, Qin Shuo said,
"Is everything in this letter true?"
Shen Xuan replied,
"Your Majesty, everything is exactly as the letter says. Two days ago, Shen Yue of the Demon Dynasty arrived at the Northern Abyss Islands with one of the Central Continent's most elite legions and consolidated all the Demon Race forces across the islands.

"Great General Yun Xiang of the Divine Strategy Office, Northern Abyss Governor-General Bai Man, Censor Zhen of the Censorate, Director Li Yue of the Comforting and Pacification Office, Left Deputy Commissioner Niu Da of the Heavenly Martial Directorate, and Peng Fei, the current patriarch of the Kunpeng clan. Counting the experts from the various clans of the Northern Abyss Islands and the Demon Dynasty powerhouses sent from the Central Continent, there are more than ten Emptiness Realm (epic) experts, along with a number at the Void Realm (legendary pinnacle) and Cavern Mystery realm (legendary)..."
Qin Shuo chuckled.
