"I'll go right away." The sailor nodded.
He had only gone halfway when his body suddenly stiffened.
Along the wide banks of the Song River, amidst the swirling mist, black figures and phantom images of port buildings appeared out of nowhere.
All the standing black figures were staring at the Lily!
Although this sailor had been active in Songhe for a long time, he had never seen such a display of force. In the past, when passing through this area, he would always choose a specific time to avoid the appearance of Black Shadow Harbor.
He remembered the order and, despite his fear, went to the old man's side.
"Senior, Captain Zhao asked me to warn you to be careful at Shadow Harbor..."

"They are watching our flag, they are blessing us on our way."

As usual, he saw the broken city walls of Meijing City and those dreamlike figures, some defending the city and others attacking.

This was the first time Chen Jing had ever seen such a spectacular sight up close.
Dodging attacks that were neither real nor fake, Chen Jing bypassed the battlefield and headed towards his destination.
He wanted to return to the arena to see what the source of darkness had told him was the way to resolve this disaster.
