In the Infernal Palace of the Xia Capital.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The deep sounds of drums reverberated throughout the entire area, spreading even to the distant regions outside. The entire Xia Capital's countless people stared blankly as they listened to the drum sounds. Three beats, four, five…
A total of nine deep drum beats.
Everyone understood what that meant!
Throughout the history of the Xia Clan, nine beats of the Infernal Palace's drums represented the arrival of a calamity! Over the ages, there had been many situations where the clan had to retreat to the Infernal World; while in the mortal world, outside countless people would be slaughtered and eaten. Right now, such a calamity would soon be upon then once more. Even more, it was rumored previously…that the gravity of this situation far transcended any of the previous incidents.
