”We have waited year in and year out for someone from outside of the continent to come to visit us, but it has never happened—not before now at least”

Xue Wei's raised eyebrow sunk down to a froith the other ”What is this existence you speak of?” he asked, but the King just shrugged her shoulders

”I do not know,” she said honestly

”The Garden of Shadows is the uarding this infored to scratch the surface of thisWhy would the Garden of Shadows harbor an existence that was a disaster to their nation, and ould they go to such lengths to prevent it fro seen by others?

And even more, they expected outsiders to solve their problee problem with such a lax attitude

”I understand your concern,” the King said with a sigh as she saw Xue Wei's knitted eyebrows, ”but we really have not been able to save the situation ourselves despite ive us some more details about e can expect to encounter?” Xue Wei asked tentatively He was not exactly sure aited at the end of this road, and so he was suddenly quite worried

This also er to recruit them into the Garden of Shadohen they firstfor the King to explain the situation, but she just shook her head dejectedly

”I can't explain it,” she said again ”You will have to experience it for yourself If you rant you a spot in the delegation that is leaving for the Demon Phoenix Continent next ti whether or not it would be worth it for hie and unexplainable phenomenon of theirs, but his hesitation ca's pro theh to be adation Not to le one of them needed to reach the requisite threshold to qualify

The King went back to her throne and casually sat down before she waved her hand The doors to the hall opened again, and the many officials who had been asked to leave earlier swarmed back into the hall

Hearing the voice of the King, many showed dissatisfaction, but no one dared to speak up about it

Truth was, these experts were all sche to the end of the day They did not like that these four foreigners had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and actually gained the favor of the King

Not only this, the King was actually going quite far to accoave them a free pass to enter the Imperial Palace!

They understood that these four people were fro that Xue Wei and the others were 'normal' people compared to themselves They did not have their innate abilities, nor did they have their superior cultivation talent What right did they have to actually gain their King's favor?
