Flame Furnace Fortress.
Wu Changkong, who was stationed here, abruptly rose to his feet.
"You mean... those Heavenly Demons and Devil Cultivators gathered at the estuary have all withdrawn!?"
"They have! Every last one of them!"
Standing before him were Li Shengyang, Bian Ren, and several other powerful Loose Immortals of Flame Furnace Fortress.
At this moment, they could barely conceal the delight in their eyes.
"Nearly a hundred Devil Cultivators and three hundred Heavenly Demons have scattered, either hiding without a trace or retreating into the deep sea. They clearly don't dare set another foot in our Flame Furnace Fortress," Bian Ren said emphatically.
"Good! Good! This is wonderful!"
Wu Changkong was beaming as well. "The sect is about to fight a decisive battle against the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect. Apparently, the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect has summoned over four hundred Loose Immortals from across their sect to attack Golden Crow Fortress. There simply aren't enough people left to reinforce us, while here..."
He exhaled. "We have fewer than a hundred Loose Immortals. Facing a siege by over four hundred powerful foes would have put us under tremendous pressure... Now that the enemy has withdrawn on their own, we couldn't ask for anything better."
Immediately afterward, he issued an order. "Investigate! Find out exactly what happened! Why did those Devil Cultivators and Heavenly Demons suddenly withdraw? And where are the people from the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground? Those are their absolute elite, led by Qin Wushe, Jiang Jiehai, and Holy Lord Qianji! Especially Holy Lord Qianji, who came specifically to break our arrays..."
"Understood. I've already sent people to investigate..."
As Bian Ren spoke, he suddenly froze, as though he had received some news. "The Nine Heavens Sacred Ground's elite... have... have been wiped out?" "???"
Wu Changkong stared
