"Innate... Has it finally come to this?"
Before anyone else could react with surprise, Li Daoran's expression tightened. He had long suspected this was the case and was clearly convinced.
To understand this speculation, one must first look at the current state of the world.
The Demon Dynasty and the Rebel Army had been at war for decades. In the early days, the Demon Army struck with the force of a thunderbolt, systematically annihilating many of the world's great sects. Numerous Martial Arts Families and sect strongholds were overrun. For a time, the demons' might was unparalleled, and the world trembled in silent fear.
Then, the Hundred Schools rose up in rebellion. The various schools and sects set aside their differences, uniting the world's forces to resist the Demon Army. They won a string of great victories, pushing the demons back to the south, even fighting their way to the Nanjiang Celestial Gate and nearly breaching the Southern Celestial Capital.
