Osmanthus Village, as peaceful as ever.
However, upon closer examination, one would notice.
The Imperial Sky Guarding Array set up by Xia Liu had long collapsed.
In the void, there was an elusive pressure.
Ordinary people might not detect anything.
But cultivators walking into it would feel a great oppression.
Breathing would become difficult.
It felt as if a mountain was constantly pressing down, leaving them breathless.
At the Osmanthus Sect, Tie Shan and Guo Po stood at the mountain gate.
Their expressions were exceedingly miserable.
The responsibility lay with them when Xia Liu's sisters were abducted.
Before the Spirit Gathering Array in the back mountain, an elderly figure sat cross-legged.
Ye Wuya.
The only witness who saw the ladies being taken away.
Inside the Osmanthus Sect's gates, disciples had lost interest in cultivation.
All awaited Xia Liu's return.
Roar!
Invisibly, it seemed everyone heard the roar of a giant beast.
