What was going on?
Had the Demon Sect's earlier ambush merely been a spur-of-the-moment attack?
Or was this current calm nothing more than a smokescreen meant to make them lower their guard?
Now that the resources had been gathered,
everyone in the three factions, from ordinary disciples to True Essence Realm experts,
