"Greetings, Sect Master Chen. This is from my master for you,"
Upon entering, Ji Guanhai first paid his respects to Chen Mobai, then delivered a letter.
"It's been four years since I last met Brother Nu Jiang...,"
Chen Mobai felt a trace of sentiment as he opened the letter and his relaxed expression turned slightly serious after reading it.
"Has the situation really become this grave?"
Not long ago, a Dongwu army of cultivators, tasked with exterminating the Cloud Dream Marsh monsters, suffered a devastating blow. One of their treasure ships, anchored by a Golden Core Cultivator, was destroyed by the rampaging monster horde.
From Core Formation to Qi Cultivation, all were slain by the monsters, not a single person escaped.
When the head of the Dongwu Sun Family, Sun Huangji, arrived with a fleet of treasure ships, all he found was a blood-stained expanse of water strewn with floating limbs and wreckage of ships.
And an overwhelming, countless horde of demonic beasts!
