"His name is Zhou Hong. On the surface, he is a disciple of a sixth-rate family, but in reality, he is an extremely powerful expert," Huangfu Shanhe replied quickly.
"How powerful?"
"As high as a mountain."
"Don't joke. Liang Qiyue glared at Huangfu Shanhe.
"I'm not joking. Do you know the Maoshan Sect?"
"Nonsense, who wouldn't know the renowned Maoshan Sect of Huaxia? Could he be a disciple of the Maoshan Sect?"
"How could that be? Daoist Master Tianhong of the Maoshan Sect called himself a junior in front of him."
"Ah!" Liang Qiyue's expression changed drastically. Daoist Master Tianhong of the Maoshan Sect was a dazzling presence in his eyes, a top figure in the entire Huaxia martial cultivation world. Yet, he had to call Zhou Hong senior.
Disbelieving, Liang Qiyue was stunned.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go greet him." Huangfu Shanhe hurried towards Zhou Hong. Seeing Zhou Hong looking around the Six Doors, he immediately acted like a tour guide, introducing this and that to Zhou Hong.
Thus, Zhou Hong strolled through the Six Doors, and it was not until two hours later that he finished touring the entire place.
"Alright, I should be leaving now," Zhou Hong said to Huangfu Shanhe.
"Of course. If you need any help, Senior, please don't hesitate to let me know," Huangfu Shanhe said with a flattering smile. He knew Zhou Hong didn't want to reveal his identity and must have many things that required others to handle.
"Okay, give me your phone number."
"Sure!" Huangfu Shanhe immediately gave Zhou Hong his phone number.
However, at this moment, from a certain part of the Six Doors, an emergency siren suddenly blared.
"Not good." Hearing the emergency siren, Huangfu Shanhe's expression changed, as if something major had happened.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hong asked curiously.
"This is the emergency horn of the Six Doors. Something must have happened at the sealed land," Huangfu Shanhe said.
"Sealed land?" Zhou Hong looked confused.
"In our Huaxia, there is a sealed land. Most people don't know about this place. Deep underground, an ancient exotic beast is sealed. This ancient exotic beast has existed for an unknown duration and has turned into a fossil. However, even as a fossil, it often emits energy fluctuations. Whenever this happens, all members of the Six Doors must immediately mobilize and head to the sealed land to suppress the energy as much as possible, to prevent it from harming innocents."
"Is there such a magical thing?" Zhou Hong was slightly surprised.
"Senior Zhou Hong, how could I lie to you about such a matter? Legend has it that this ancient exotic beast has been guarding the Earth, as if protecting something."
"Protecting what?" Zhou Hong murmured. For some reason, a strange, indescribable feeling suddenly surged within him.
"Who told you?" Zhou Hong asked.
"I heard it from the older generation. Who knows if it's true or false? Perhaps it's just a legend. Senior Zhou Hong, I can't talk to you any longer. I need to hurry and gather. If I'm late and the energy fluctuations reach the surface, there might be significant casualties." With that, Huangfu Shanhe quickly ran off.
Zhou Hong hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.
Soon, Zhou Hong followed Huangfu Shanhe to a large hall in the Six Doors. Dozens of experts had already arrived in the hall, and more were continuously arriving.
Zhou Hong saw an old man with a white beard standing at the front of the hall. Judging by his appearance, he was no less than 100 years old. Although Zhou Hong couldn't ascertain his strength, he was clearly far stronger than Huangfu Shanhe and the others.
About a few minutes later, all hundreds of members of the Six Doors had arrived.
"Everyone, are all present?" the white-bearded old man at the front asked.
"They should all be here."
"Good. To be brief, the sealed land just vibrated. It must be the ancient exotic beast sealed underground emitting energy fluctuations again. We must hurry to suppress that energy, otherwise, if it reaches the surface, it will inevitably harm innocent civilians."
At this point, a man in the hall quickly asked, "Sect Master, it's only been three years. Why is the ancient exotic beast fluctuating again?"
"I don't know. In the past two hundred years, this ancient exotic beast, sealed for who knows how many millennia, has been emitting energy fluctuations with increasing frequency. It used to fluctuate once every thousand years, then every few hundred years, then every few decades, and now, it's only been three years, and there's another fluctuation." The Sect Master's face seemed filled with worry.
"Sect Master, could it be related to the legend that Earth is about to face a world-shattering calamity?" another deputy sect master of the Six Doors asked from below.
"The rumors about Earth facing a world-shattering calamity have been circulating for thousands of years. However, no one knows who started them, or if they are true. Who can guarantee?" The Sect Master of the Six Doors sighed slightly. When he was very young, he had already heard his elders say that the Earth would face a cataclysmic disaster in the future, just like the former dominant species, the dinosaurs, disappearing from Earth entirely. The legend of this calamity had been passed down for thousands of years, and everyone thought it was just a baseless legend.
However, in recent decades, more and more strange events had occurred. What was once thought to be a baseless legend was now shaking everyone's convictions.
At this moment, Zhou Hong, standing in the crowd, also frowned slightly. When he was in Jinzhou City, one of the Wolf Kings of the War Wolf Organization had told him that Earth would soon face some great calamity. He hadn't expected to hear them discussing it again here.
Zhou Hong was quite curious. What kind of calamity would it be? If it was like the extinction of the dinosaurs, that would indeed be quite terrifying.
However, Zhou Hong didn't dwell on it. He stood among the crowd, unnoticed. Many people assumed he was also a member of the Six Doors.
"Alright, everyone, follow me immediately!" the Sect Master shouted.
"Yes, Sect Master."
The Sect Master of the Six Doors led the way and walked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, on the lawn, dozens of helicopters were already parked.
Zhou Hong couldn't help but feel speechless upon seeing the helicopters.
He thought they would be running, but instead... they were taking helicopters.
Zhou Hong didn't think much more about it. He followed Huangfu Shanhe and boarded one of the helicopters.
Soon, the helicopters took off one after another, flying towards a certain direction.
"Huangfu Shanhe, how long will it take to get to the sealed land?" Zhou Hong asked Huangfu Shanhe while sitting in the helicopter. The others sitting nearby were surprised to hear Zhou Hong directly addressing Huangfu Shanhe by name.
