Upon warping into the waiting room between Floor 9 and Floor 10, Lin Mo and Liu Xiaoyu found it to be unexpectedly quiet.
Only a handful of cultivators were present, but they weren't the battered, exhausted veterans Lin Mo had expected. These were the elite. The cream of the Eastern Abyssal Domain's crop.
Most of them were names that had long been famous in the region.
Elites from the Inner Abyssal Circle related to the Poison Demon Cult and Shadow Veil Clan.
Elites of cultivator families, similar but not stronger than the Liu Clan.
Ancestors, Sect Masters and Elders of different sects, be it upper, mid, or lower-tier sects.
Lastly, notable generals from the Southern Wu Kingdom and a few rogue cultivators who weren't affiliated with any faction.
When they saw the duo step out from the portal, most of them showed a hint of surprise. After all, they're considered part of the younger generation.
