Sam and the team are currently in leader 1's territory.
They are currently in the city where the branch that they used and set up the whole scenario is located.
They are looking at the chaos that is occurring in the shadows without the citizens even knowing. They were surprised by the sheer number of experts that are under the command of Leader 3.
From the memories they gathered from the subordinates, they didn't get any information from this. There are more than a hundred Late transcendent cultivators under Leader 3 which is something that neither Sam nor the rest of the leaders expected.
Sam tried to gather some information, but everything is so tight with both of the branches, they are both attacking and defending against each other.
