Near the eerie cave in Yin Xu Valley, Guo Jufeng and the other Grandmasters quickly recovered, having suffered no serious harm. A large group of their subordinates, however, had sustained shock injuries, leaving them unable to even lift their rifles. Besides, the guns were useless anyway, so they all retreated.
Just then, several representatives from the Heavenly Person Academy, which had sealed its mountain to avoid the disaster, arrived. The Academy Master, Ji Yongyan, was injured and did not come in person. The one who did come was the Star Mansion Master, Lin Xincheng, who was also Che Huanyu's master.
Previously, in the concert hall, Che Huanyu had personally stated that it was Lin Xincheng who observed the stars by night and foresaw a malevolent presence causing havoc in Jiangbei. This time, his nightly stargazing had again revealed that a momentous event—one that threatened the entire world—was about to unfold near Luofu City.
