"What has happened outside?"
Inside a grand hall, an elderly man with the appearance of a youthful crane displayed a face full of worry and uncertainty, having just been startled awake by the commotion outside.
He was none other than Dr. Huashan.
The chaos outside was overwhelming; the sounds of killing, agonizing screams, and pleas for mercy were incessant, resembling the clash of an army in battle. Could it be that some faction or even the government had finally launched an attack on Iron Heart Sect?
Yet what was even more alarming was that in less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, everything fell silent. This was Iron Heart Mountain, easily defensible and hard to conquer. Even if an exceptionally powerful force were attacking Iron Heart Sect, the battle shouldn't have ended so quickly, should it?
"Creak!"
