He led the two of them into the reception hall. Once they were seated, Fang Chen brought up the situation in the Lower Six Realms:
"I have heard that a demonic disaster has descended upon the Lower Six Realms this time. I wonder if the two of you have heard of it?"
"What a coincidence, I am aware of it as well."
Ning Beiyou felt a sense of clarity. Knowing there was no need to hide this from Huang Qingque, he spoke bluntly:
"Before I returned to the Upper Three Realms, I passed through a certain territory. Whether they were mortals or cultivators, everyone there encountered this demonic disaster at the exact same time—the kind where you cannot wake them no matter how you call them..."
He spoke for a full half-hour, recounting everything he had seen and everything he had deduced. Huang Qingque looked somewhat shocked, and a flicker of anger crossed his eyes:
"This might be the work of the Lingshen Cult."
