Yuan Yi was chatting with Han Feng and Old Hai in his residence.
Seated around them were all major figures at the Dou Emperor level, including Mo Ya, the Young Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect, and First Elder Hu Yan.

This included independent cultivator experts, outside forces, and small factions at the Dou Wang level.
Old Hai had now become a core figure among the high-ranking powers of the Black-Corner Region and was seated at the most central table.
Han Feng and Yuan Yi were introducing Old Hai and the changes Xiao Sect had undergone in the Black-Corner Region to Mo Ya.
