The moment the rumor appeared, it swept across the entire plain outside Starfall Pavilion.
The experts from the various factions, whose minds had already been churning over the earlier upheaval, now seemed to have reached a consensus. Faced with this sudden rumor, their thoughts took a devious turn.
