Monarch Night

"It's… cough, a tenth of what the higher-ups of the sect can muster."

Gu Changhan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Dongfang Sansan nodded silently with a smile.

This is the mountain gate.

Although it has been activated, not all of its power will be mobilized.

The supreme combat power will always remain in the sect to control the overall situation.

"This is already very good."

Indeed, Dongfang Sansan was very satisfied; reaching this point was not easy.

"Elder Gu, there are some things that need to be spoken clearly."

With hands behind his back, Dongfang Sansan paced lightly and said, "Currently, the Guardians and Sentinels are at the forefront against the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, with an average annual sacrifice of about... twenty thousand Guardians across the continent. As for the Sentinels, nearly three hundred thousand die each year. This isn't an average figure, but rather... in recent years, amidst what appears to be a peaceful situation."

"Once full-scale war begins, these numbers will increase tenfold, even dozens or hundreds of times!"

Dongfang Sansan took a deep breath: "Your Hanjian Mountain Sect disciples entering the Sentinels' ranks... casualties are inevitable. These over seventeen thousand people you entrusted to me is your trust in us, but I cannot guarantee how many will remain or return when it's your turn again. This needs to be made clear beforehand."

Gu Changhan nodded and said, "This point is fully understood. War, especially one that affects the entire continent, how can there be no deaths?"

Dongfang Sansan said gravely: "But, no matter what, the wholehearted support of Hanjian Mountain Sect this time, I, Dongfang Sansan, represent the Guardian Camp... Thank you!"

Gu Changhan hurriedly stepped aside, avoiding Dongfang Sansan's salute, and said: "Ninth lord, you are too kind. Thus, I will excuse myself first, about five days later, they will come!"

"Good!"

Dongfang Sansan felt relieved, and his facial expression lightened considerably. A large group of new forces joining had finally strengthened the Guardian camp.

And this large group of people would serve a great purpose in their hands.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Bam!

Just as Dongfang Sansan was feeling extremely good, suddenly the door was pushed open.

Xue Fuxiao unexpectedly burst in like a gust of wind without knocking: "Sansan, something has happened!"

Dongfang Sansan's heart sank, and he furrowed his brows: "What happened?"

Already apprehensive, knowing that anything that could make Xue Fuxiao so tense must be a big deal.

"In the Southeast, a sudden volcanic eruption, nine connected volcanoes erupting in a half-ring pattern, spewing lava hundreds of yards high... pillar of clouds reaching almost three thousand yards... the nearest area outside Baifengzhou now... scarcely has any living people."

Dongfang Sansan's face changed dramatically: "How could there be so many volcanoes in the Southeast? There was no sign before, was there?"

Suddenly realizing, he slapped the table.

With a bang, half of the table collapsed, and he said with extreme anger: "Is it the Wei Wo Zheng Sect's Fire Demon? Has he appeared again?!"

"It should be, there's no other possibility except for him!"

Xue Fuxiao said furiously: "It must be this inhumane guy!"

"These are volcanoes... the living are suffering!"

Dongfang Sansan's eyes seemed bloodshot as he strode to the table and waved his hand.

The map of the Southeast unfolded with a swish.

"Nine? A half-ring? That means here, here, and here..."

Dongfang Sansan quickly and pointedly marked: "These nine?"

Xue Fuxiao glanced and confirmed: "Yes, these nine."

"The threat isn't just to Baifengzhou..."

Dongfang Sansan's hands were trembling, his face pale: "Hundreds of millions of people... are under threat!"

Gu Changhan on the side was shocked beyond measure.

He felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.

They are all deep martial artists; an open and fair fight is one thing, but to unleash volcanic disaster on ordinary people, what kind of hero is that?

"Mobilize all efforts to aid the Southeast!"

"Collectively support the Southeast, to overcome this danger."

"The aftermath of a volcanic eruption is unbearable for ordinary people, they will be poisoned."

Dongfang Sansan slashed his palm like a knife: "Starting today, at all costs, kill the Fire Demon! Xue Fuxiao, go personally! No matter what, kill him!"

The severe killing intent in Dongfang Sansan's tone almost materialized.

"Okay, I will handle it personally!"

"Not just you, but Rui Qianshan and others as well! No matter what, eliminate the Fire Demon!"

"Moreover, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect stirred up volcanoes in the Southeast for a reason; since there is an aim, there must be arrangements, and certainly experts are present. Do not be careless."

"I will investigate!"

"Go ahead."

After Xue Fuxiao came in, he only had time to nod at Gu Changhan before immediately turning and rushing out.

Gu Changhan also understood that such a major incident must be addressed immediately.

Looking at the exhaustion on Dongfang Sansan's face, Gu Changhan suddenly felt a heavy heart.

How much is Dongfang Sansan carrying on his shoulders? This, no one can measure.

The entire continent presses down on his shoulders.

Only with great difficulty did the emergence of Hanjian Mountain Sect allow Dongfang Sansan to feel he could finally breathe a little easier, only for a volcanic eruption to occur immediately after.

Instead of reducing, the pressure suddenly doubled!

This immense pressure has been on his shoulders for countless years!

Gu Changhan could imagine that if it were anyone else, they might have collapsed long ago.

But Dongfang Sansan is still holding on and will continue to do so.

"Ninth lord!"

Gu Changhan said softly.

Never before had he felt that calling someone Ninth lord was so right!

So naturally, it came from the heart.

Dongfang Sansan deserves everyone's respect as Ninth lord!

"Brother Gu, you flatter me. Please wait!"
