Along the way and without venturing too far south, the team led by Xu Hongyu directly encountered the messenger coming to report the news. That person was a member of the Black-Clothed Guard, seemingly having run at full speed the entire journey. When he arrived in front of Xu Hongyu, he was already gasping for breath.
"My lord... there's been unusual activity towards Nangou Mountain in the south, a large number of monsters, seemingly converging from all directions, with hundreds of them, including both Third Rank and Second Rank. They are fighting amongst themselves, and currently, they have not advanced northward..."
Hundreds of monsters!
