Outer Gate City.
The city wall was lined with outer disciples, including Ye Lan and Zhen Qin. They frowned and looked into the distance. Not just them, all the disciples were looking in the same direction, as if facing a great enemy.
Heavy snow covered the land and mountains. The wind howled, and amidst the swirling snow, the outlines of mountains could be seen faintly.
Gu gu——
A mysterious bird cry rang out again, as if beings from the underworld were approaching, causing the hearts of the disciples on the wall to pound like war drums.
Gradually, a shadow appeared in the snow-covered expanse, making all the disciples' faces change.
"W-what is that?" Zhen Qin stammered, her voice low as if asking herself.
Ye Lan's eyes were also wide open. She considered herself knowledgeable, yet she was stunned by the current sight.
The enormous shadow resembled a black ocean advancing, vast and boundless, connecting the ends of the sky. The mysterious bird cries grew louder.
