The ones rushing in from outside were several brothers from the Boat Gang, one of whom was Wang Xiang, who had previously escorted the Ba Mountain Sword Sect to Jingzhou.
"Gang Leader, there's bad news!"
The group was gasping for breath, faces pale, as Wang Xiang shouted, "We've just received news that the Profound Celestial Sect's army of over a hundred thousand has landed along the coasts of Wu and Jiang Provinces, intending to seize the two provinces, their momentum unstoppable. The coastal garrisons have collapsed without a fight and have abandoned their cities in flight."
"What!"
Jiang Feng's expression changed.
Everyone present was shocked, their faces showing alarm.
Especially the disciples from Wu and Jiang Provinces, who heard the news and felt a complex mix of emotions.
They followed their Sect Leader to attend the Martial Arts Assembly, thus avoiding a calamity.
