Li Qinghong had just arrived at Fenkui Island, and she did not make a fuss, instead she searched around the Green Pond Sect's marketplace, found a tavern, and sought out news. After careful inquiry, she learned that the Green Pond Cultivator guarding the marketplace turned out to be Ning Heyuan.
"It's actually him!"

She inquired further about the celestial phenomenon, and sure enough, there was no rumor of severing the heavens with a single sword. When talk turned to the gloom over the nearby sea, a crowd of East Sea cultivators had only hazy guesses of some great event, yet even the origin of the anomaly was unknown.
