Undercurrents of activity ran beneath the peaceful veneer of the Barren State. The various powers in the state were all busy making preparations, especially those who would be directly involved in the storm to come.
At this point, they stood at the precipice of a major development. It was a matter of life and death, and the outcome could very possibly be determined by the period of time to come. The people of the Barren State could also sense that this unrest would definitely lead to great changes in their state.
It was within this period of calm that a party of dozens of people arrived at the Holy Zhi Palace in the Barren State. They were all from Zhisheng Cliffs, and they were all strong. Just as the Palace had predicted, Qin Zhong did not return to the Barren State again. A Son had perished in the Barren State, and Qin Zhong had suffered a defeat as well. This definitely was anything but good news to Zhisheng Cliffs.
