On the cliff edge.
In the colorless and tasteless air, a ripple suddenly appeared like water waves.
At first, it was only the size of a palm, but in the blink of an eye, it grew to the size of a basin, and then, a figure wearing an ancient robe suddenly erged from it.
"Rip!"
The sound of fabric tearing erupted.
Imdiately following, a faint and indistinct growl ca from within the ripples, and along with the ripples, it disappeared together.
"That was close, I almost lost my life in there."
Elder Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at his half-bitten garnt, shivering with fear.
If he had moved a little slower, it wouldn’t have just been a half-torn garnt, but a whole leg.
"Fortunately, I got this thing, it was all worth it."
As he spoke, a long root appeared in his hand.
The size of a palm, its surface white, exuding a faint fragrance that made one want to take a bite.
This item was called the Celestial Net Root, an extrely rare treasure, only found in the secret realm just now. Even for a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, it was greatly beneficial, let alone for a True Essence Realm Martial Artist.
"If Chen Fan can fully absorb the dicinal power in this treasure, his True Qi will surely increase significantly, what a pity."
Elder Wang recalled the earlier experience.
There were several more Celestial Net Roots in that dicinal garden. If he could have harvested them all, perhaps Chen Fan could break through to the Celestial Human Realm.
However, if he had harvested one more, he would have been devoured by the demon beasts that detected his presence.
"I will co back if I get the chance in the future."
He put away the treasure, a smile appeared on his face.
This ti, as he was leaving, he calculated that a day had probably passed.
He wondered if anything had happened in Anshan City, but since there were so awakeners in the city, there should not be any major problems.
Suddenly, he thought of sothing and took out his phone.
Seeing several missed calls on his phone, his expression changed slightly.
The calls from Chen Fan were easy to guess; he probably couldn’t find him in the morning, so he called.
But Shi Tao also called, and several tis at that.
Evidently, sothing important had happened.
"Could it be that sothing happened to Shi Tao?"
Elder Wang’s smile froze on his face.
He knew his personality all too well; he wouldn’t call multiple tis unless it was sothing extrely important.
"Looks like I’ll have to contact Chen Fan later, better find out what happened with Shi Tao first."
He selected one of the missed calls and dialed back.
A few minutes earlier, at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association Headquarters.
The large conference room on the second floor was crowded, with roughly thousands of people in attendance.
More people continued to pour in through the entrance.
"So many people!"
Soone who had just entered was stunned by the sight.
"What’s going on? Why were we suddenly called for a eting?"
"Yeah, I was in the middle of an experint."
Many voices of frustration could be heard.
"I don’t know, but this eting was called by the President, so it’s definitely to announce sothing important. An experint can wait until after the eting." Soone said.
Compared to doing experints, they were more eager to attend the eting because the President was not soone they could et easily.
"That’s true."
Hearing that, many people nodded.
But so more astute individuals sensed that sothing was off.
Since the establishnt of the headquarters, the President had only called a full assembly once several years ago, and at that ti, the headquarters did not have as many people, and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association did not have such fa.
With the developnt over these years, the headquarters had grown larger, and the President was mostly engrossed in cultivation. Even if sothing important ca up, it was communicated via email.
But now, a full assembly was being called, and it happened to be at the critical point of a beast tide outbreak.
"Could it be that the beast tide is almost here?" soone thought, feeling a jolt inside.
Was the beast tide coming to Jiangnan City soon?
Finally, nearly everyone at the headquarters had gathered.
Low murmurs filled the large conference room.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard, and the surrounding noise instantly faded to quiet.
Everyone looked up with faces of respect as Shi Tao slowly walked to the stage.
Even Elder Tang and others, despite any complaints, remained silent at this mont.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
Shi Tao looked at the crowd, "The reason I’ve gathered you all today is to share an important piece of news. This is not good news, and I hope you all prepare yourselves ntally before hearing it."
In an instant, the thousands of faces in the room lost their smiles.
Bad news?
Could it be that the beast tide was imminent?
Although ntally prepared for that scenario, hearing it still caused their hearts to tighten.
Under the stage, Shen Si and the others had red eyes upon hearing this.
After about a minute, when everyone started to lose their patience, Shi Tao finally spoke, "I announce that, from this mont on, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is officially disbanded."
The room fell silent for a mont, followed by a burst of exclamations.
"What? The association is disbanded?"
"The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is officially disbanded?"
"Did I hear wrong, or is this really what the President said?"
