Chapter 1465: A Dilemma (1/2)

The unexpected news instantly soured the atmosphere In particular, Elooarwood Boundary Stele’s woes had been mere coincidence But now, a crack had also appeared on the Northwestern Stele When it rains it truly pours

The Southern Celestial Tribe lay in wait beyond Agarwood’s Boundary Stele, a tribe weaker thanantiquity And they’d sent three empyrean experts? Petapluck found that hard to believe

However, the Northwestern Stele was a bona fide defensive wall Its fall would trigger certain invasion froe Tribe All that accu to be unleashed upon ine
