Chapter 582 Doing Their Best (1/2)

While Zachary and the other two were enjoying the peaceful moment in the Peach Blossom Forest, the other warriors were struggling to hold their grounds all around the Holy Cloud Mountain. Despite all their effort, casualties kept mounting up.

But this was also within their expectation. Otherwise, they would not have sent warriors of Sage Level to help their disciples, most of whom were still at the Imperial Level and could not survive even for several hours in this kind of situation.

In the end, after ten hours of suffering, a beam of powerful sunlight suddenly shot down from the sky above the Holy Cloud Mountain and dispelled the black mist, allowing the mountain to once again glory in the glow of the sun.

While people all over the Holy Cloud Mountain did shiver at the sight of this scene, they also could not hold back the surging excitement inside their hearts. Many of them, who came here for the first time, opened their eyes wide in shock.
