Old Madman looked around.

In the end, they were only Great Saints. Naturally, they could not keep up with a Quasi-Emperor.
"This is trouble..."
Daoist Qinghuang drew a deep breath and said gravely to Old Madman, "Recently, those Saint Spirits have begun stirring, probing us repeatedly. Clearly, they've made up their minds to act... even the evil gods of the Outer Regions seem poised to get involved!"
"Although we've long been prepared, the price will still be considerable. Once the seals left by the Dao Venerable are lifted, fortune and disaster will be hard to predict. Countless lives may be devastated, blood may flow in rivers, and the Ancient Road may even be severed completely..."
