Chapter 389: Third floor

"Ancestors, I can explain," Shui Liying spoke, her voice respectful yet firm. She stepped forward, her eyes meeting the gaze of each guardian elder in turn. "The situation in the Earth province is dire. Our sect is facing a grave threat from the devil forces. Two peak masters are gravely injured, and Senior brother Deming is engaged in a fierce battle with a devil emperor. We need to obtain the Five Harmony Soul Resurgence Pill to save martial brother Hu Tao's life."

The three guardian elders exchanged glances, a concerned expression appeared on each of their faces. They listened attentively as Shui Liying provided a brief account of the events unfolding at the Yellow Stone City and the urgency of their mission.

After Shui Liying finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, as the guardian elders deliberated amongst themselves. Finally, the elder who had initially spoken, the one sitting at the extreme left, spoke again.
