Regarding the new phenomenon that was appearing at the Locust Flower Nation, a small nation in the northern regions, the sudden increase in demons and fiends was related to the flood of spiritual energy surging into the territories of the dozen or so nations. Without the presence of the thunder pool to intimidate all matter, these demons and fiends naturally became livelier like the snakes and insects after spring thunder.
Right now, Chen Ping'an had no plans to engage in conflict with Xia Zhen or the powerful cultivator from the Blissful Dream Nation.

He had simply dispatched two underlings to obtain the valuable treasure from Imperial Accompanying City.
