Far from the Emperor's Reach

"Did True Person make any other discoveries?"

True Person Huai Jin said nothing, while Ye Xiu at his side was no longer as smooth and tactful as before.

Facing the gaze directed at him, True Person Huai Jin could only let out a long sigh.

"This matter was indeed this old Daoist's overconfidence. I delayed things and truly feel ashamed."

He cupped his hands in salute, knowing that his plan to use this opportunity to establish his sect's authority in the hearts of those young Alliance elites had thoroughly failed.

"It is no great matter."

Ye Xiu smiled and waved his hand. "There was an enormous quantity of Spirit Grain on the train. Those heterodox cultivators who stole it likely lack the means to dispose of it so quickly. And if they wish to hide it, they may well need the help of places along this route."

As the two spoke, the cultivators nearby held their breath and listened intently.

After working together for several days, everyone had more or less taken the measure of the leaders on both sides.

When it came to factions and choosing sides, it was nothing more than the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west wind overwhelming the east wind.

With everyone's overall goal aligned, now that there was a new leader, they naturally had to hear what both the old and new bosses had to say.

"The orders have already been passed down. Every territory under our sect's jurisdiction has been placed under full lockdown. The moment any large-scale movement appears, people will be dispatched to intercept it at once and send word back."

Seeing that Ye Xiu remained silent for so long, True Person Huai Jin still could not quite give up on salvaging some face for the sect faction.
