Forgotten River.
The star in the void glimmered faintly. It was small, and its spiritual energy was hardly abundant. In the Immortal Realm, it would never have ranked among the greats.
But now, the entire Immortal Realm knew there was a place on that star called Undying Mountain.
No one noticed the ten figures that silently appeared above the star.
Their leader looked haggard and somewhat unkempt, his hair loose and his clothes a little ragged. But his aura...
Without question, he was in the Emperor Realm.
He gazed at the distant star in silence for a long time. "This is the place?"
Someone beside him nodded, his voice low. "This is the place."
"One man, and he's driven us this far."
The man in black who had visited that day was among them too. His expression was complicated, but he said nothing, only sighing in the end.
After he brought the news back, everyone had fallen silent. If they had a choice, they did not want to fight.
But things had reached this point, and none of them-not just him-had any way back.
So this time, ten of them had come together.
It was both a show of strength and a final ultimatum.
If they could reach an agreement, all the better. If not... there was only one word left: kill.
"It's about time."
Their leader finally spoke. "Since we're here, let's meet him."
The only female Immortal Emperor among the ten nodded, then closed her eyes.
A strand of Divine Sense spread from her brow, instantly blanketing all of Forgotten River, like a sovereign surveying her domain.
It was a statement, and a warning.
What they did not know was that Si Chen had long since left a contingency in place.
