Arriving in front of the gate leading into the massive city, it did not take long before one of the guards stationed at the gate recognized the border guard and came running over.
"Senior! Why are you here!? Did something happen at the border?"
"Yes, an ancient demon beast began to awaken below the surface of the main river that runs through parts of the Sky Empire."
Listening in on the conversation between the two as they began to discuss what had happened and how long it would take to resolve now that this Senior Peng had taken action to deal with the ancient demon beast, Xuan Hao realized that he would at least have to stay in the Blue Sea Empire for a few days. Unless he decided to risk trying to pass through the place where the battle between the ancient demon beast and the expert from the Blue Sea Empire was likely about to start.
Or I could go through one of the adjacent empires…
