Battle Song Hall, the stone gate slowly opened.
A man with half-length hair that was stern-faced walked out alongside a slender and fair-skinned man, both with faint smiles on their faces and an involuntary sense of superiority in their eyes as they glanced around.
"Congratulations to you both on succeeding in Soul Casting," said the red-robed elder guarding the stone gate.
"There were not a few peers who were successful in Soul Casting this time, but not many lived to walk out," another guard commented.
"Do you two know what has happened within War Song Mountain?" the red-robed elder asked seriously.
"This is a long story. We, along with many peers, embarked on a campaign for Totems and stepped into the third level of War Song Mountain. Who would have thought that a guy named Cai Ting, in his quest to snatch the Thunder God Totem, would turn against us violently, killing nearly three hundred of our peers—utterly brutal!" said Yin Zhiyu at that moment.
