Not every great clan established its outpost in Ten Thousand Spirits City or Heavenly Water City.
Many great clans chose to establish settlements in the wilderness of the Other Shore as their outposts. Although this was more dangerous, it also afforded them greater freedom.
Li Mountain had chosen a location toward the north of the Fourteenth Heaven for its outpost, not far from the Dark Domain.
With Li Mountain's arrival, some comparatively weaker races had followed, and even creatures of the Other Shore had moved there. After nearly half a chaos era of development, the settlement had grown to a respectable size, forming a small town.
When the six Star Falcons arrived above the town, their enormous bodies were concealed in the darkness, with only the Star Vein Stones on their chests shining with starlight.
Unless they looked closely, the creatures below could only see six evenly spaced points of starlight, unable to discern the six Star Falcons hovering high overhead.
In the town, an ape covered in white fur raised his head to look at those six points of starlight.
This ape belonged to the White Ape Clan of the Fourteenth Heaven and had once lived in Heavenly Water City. Later, certain disputes had soured his clan's relationship with the Star Falcon Clan, which had ultimately driven them out of Heavenly Water City by force.
Over the years, the White Ape Clan had worked tirelessly to return to Heavenly Water City.
The white ape knew nothing of the chaos that had engulfed Heavenly Water City over the past few days. He only knew that someone from the Star Falcon Clan had contacted him and asked him to help with a task. If he succeeded, the entire White Ape Clan would be allowed to return to Heavenly Water City.
