The gathering began, and as always, the five cultivators shared updates and information about their recent circumstances. Remaining in the role of a listener once more, Jaekyung realized that the chaos was not limited to the human territories of Western Twin Lake.
"What about you, Dao Friend Jaekyung? Any interesting news?"
"Nothing I would call interesting, but…"
When Blood Hand True Lord asked, Jaekyung took a moment to choose his words.
"The human territories where I am have been quite tumultuous as well."
Jaekyung briefly recounted the situation in the human territories of Western Twin Lake.
From the fall of the two great Golden Core sects after the Im father and son established themselves as cultivators of the Immortal Alliance in Western Twin Lake, to the stories of the Sharkfolk swarming like flies due to the emergence of a fated opportunity for Core Formation, and finally, the disappearance of Im Je-seong himself in the underground caves.
"The Immortal Alliance. That doesn't surprise me at all."
Blood Hand True Lord let out a cold laugh. She burst into laughter several times at the part about the fall of the two great Golden Core sects and the Im father and son taking their place.
