Chapter 210: Battling the Demon Mentor again, one against three (double-length chapter)

Demon Mentor Pang Ban!
He had been wondering where the Raging Flood Dragon Alliance had found the confidence to remain at Dongting Lake and await his assault even after hearing he was alive. So they had found someone to rely on.

A Heavenly Being!
At this, Ma Jinliang and the others' expressions changed drastically.
