After those underground forces entered Hokkaido, they were met with fierce resistance from the original residents of Hokkaido!
Now almost all the residents of Hokkaido are believers of the Divine Realm Sect, many of whom have been granted divine pills and awakened their own powers. Though only at B-level, their large numbers are overwhelming!
Throughout Hokkaido, there are tens of thousands of B-level experts! In terms of the number of B-level experts, no underground force has as many. Therefore, within Hokkaido, unless a force infiltrating has A-level experts or even a Demigod Domain expert leading the team, they truly hold no advantage against the Divine Realm Sect believers.
Meanwhile, those underground forces also learned from the mouths of the Divine Realm Sect believers the location of the mastermind behind their sect, that mysterious forest.
