Before long, over ten elders arrived in front of Xiao Tianrong. Seeing his poor complexion, they knew something must have happened; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly gathered them.
Once everyone was assembled, Xiao Tianrong finally addressed the group: "I have bad news to share with you all. The expedition force led by Elder Jia and Elder Ren has not a single survivor."
"What!"
"How is this possible!"
"How could something like this happen!"
...
The more than ten elders exclaimed upon hearing the news. None of them had expected such a turn of events. They had jointly determined the list of expedition forces sent out, and they were fully aware of the strength of each team. They simply couldn't comprehend how such a powerful team could encounter trouble, let alone without a single survivor. It was unbelievable!
