The days passed by slowly as tensions along the Ancient Beast Mountain Range rose.
The Crimson Slayer Sect didn't even bother hiding the fact that they were preparing for war. They were working overtime to strengthen themselves and create as many items as possible to bolster their chances of winning.
Many of the spies Aelina had sent out witnessed disciples from the Toxic Blade Sect moving in and out of all the Crimson Slayer sects, supposedly delivering goods. A few even spotted what seemed to be Elders, or Mortal Shedding Realm cultivators, coming over to their side as well.
However, nobody, including Aelina or Rayna, witnessed the Toxic Blade Sect Master meeting up with them.
While Aelina wasn't exactly surprised by that, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he wouldn't step up. At least, not yet.
