When Tongming Master visited the Jiushan Sect, he had anticipated that the days of the Hundred Immortals Alliance would be difficult.
Yet the scene within the Jiushan Realm still took him by surprise.
"Master Zhang, why is this workshop market in such a state?"
Tongming Master followed behind Zhang, pointing at the Jiushan District Market and asking.
He remembered vividly the bustling impression of the Jiushan District Market:
When he visited before, the place was brightly lit, teeming with people, filled with steaming food and the clamorous laughter intertwined, leaving one disoriented.
But upon his return, nine out of ten shops had their doors closed; only a few disciples patrolled the market aimlessly, and the whistling wind carried a mournful chill through the streets.
Zhang was slightly silent, seeming reluctant to speak.
Tongming Master understood.
Haori Mountain had dealt a blow to the Jiushan Sect far beyond what they knew.
