Chapter 346 - 343 Seeking Refuge
Lengfeng Fortress.
Compared to the last time Gu Jinlai arrived here when it was surrounded by demons, this time, this fortress located on the boundary of Blue State, as well as the surrounding area, was filled with military camps one after another.
The Human Clan’s Alliance Army was in high spirits, just awaiting the command from Gu Jinlai, their commander, to completely cross the borders of Blue State and Mu State, and eradicate the demons entrenched in Mu State.

The Primordial Spirit True Monarchs kept exchanging thoughts, with an undertone in their voices that couldn’t quite suppress the shock.
Even those Monarchs who were typically not eloquent, at this moment, each expressed their views, venting the emotions that they struggled to calm.
"Master Wushi died half a month ago... Sanqing Holy Temple, worried about the impact of the magic stabilizer’s downfall on their own status, tried hard to keep it under wraps. However, the assassination performed by Venerable Xuan Tian outside the Wuchen Residence was so impactful that it couldn’t be concealed, and the news finally spread..."
