Heavenly Destiny City.
Outside the Supreme Pavilion.
The Old Taoist paced back and forth, tilting his head to ask: "Isn't the Alliance Hierarch in the Supreme Pavilion? It's about time he returned..."
"The Alliance Hierarch encountered a powerful enemy on his way to the Withered Glory Sacred Land but has already slain them."
A middle-aged scholar emerged, bowed, and said: "He's currently in Withered Glory Sacred Land, arranging various aftermath matters, but after concluding them, he will head east and will not return to Heavenly Destiny City."
"This is terrible..."
The Old Taoist's expression changed slightly.
"Old Taoist, what on earth is happening?"
Within the Supreme Pavilion, an elderly voice carried over: "You've refrained from entering the Supreme Pavilion for many years. Why are you so agitated this time?"
"Talking to you is useless."
