All of the Yin spirits were sitting upright as soon as the roll call was done. None of them could conceal the surprise in their eyes.

After all, none of them had expected such a complete, star-studded line-up of all the recent leaders of Eastmount Province to be gathered in the same hall right now! There were even generals and political commissars from the time of the War of Resistance!

Qin Ye sighed as he slowly rose to his feet.

You must have many questions on your mind. Today, I hope to provide you with a better clarity about the situation in Hell.”

This definitely wasn’t the...
