He had just risen and had yet to step out of the cave mansion when an anxious voice sounded outside.
"Junior Brother Ning, are you there?"
It was True Monarch Du'e!
Ning Daoran hurriedly waved his sleeve to open the cave mansion door, only to see True Monarch Du'e in a rather disheveled state. His robe sleeves were riddled with hexagonal holes like a honeycomb, and there was a streak of blood on his cheek. Furthermore, his mana was chaotic, clearly indicating that he'd just experienced a bitter battle and had suffered defeat.
"Brother Du'e, what happened to you?" Ning Daoran exclaimed in surprise.
"Something big has happened!"
True Monarch Du'e said, "You already know about the six black tide vortexes appearing outside Guixu City, right?"
"I just heard about it. What then?"
