Chapter 43: War Begins...
Hearing Grandpa Ju’s words, Ming was stunned. She stared at Kranos with wide eyes.
"You mean..." She pointed at him in shock, memories flashing in her mind. She still remembered the saviors who had brought the path of cultivation to their world.
The way she looked at Kranos instantly changed. Previously, she had considered him a regular youth, but now she realized—anyone not from this world was anything but ordinary. Kranos remained calm on the surface, but inside, he didn’t appreciate the old man revealing his identity without permission.
At this moment, before they could continue talking, they saw another old man approach them, this man’s name was ko. Seeing Ming and Ju, he nodded at them, smiling faintly. He looked like a natural old man, but unlike Ming and Ju, he didn’t seem to be one step into the grave.
"Ko, your cultivation seems to have improved in recent years," Grandpa Ju said with a smile.
Ko nodded, "Old man, don’t lump me in with the rest of you. My cultivation talent was always the best among us all," he said proudly. He glanced briefly at Kranos, clearly surprised, but didn’t press the matter.
"What’s the plan? How do we deal with the beast?" Ko asked directly, his expression intense, burning with the desire for battle.
Ming stepped forward. "I’ve been preparing for this. In recent years, I predicted this beast would return for revenge, so I created a formation—a killing array. The Five Elements Killing Array. At its peak, it can even slay Monarch-level cultivators."
Kranos and the others were stunned, of course, they understood what it meant to slay a Monarch.
