"Fine… I'll tell you. My first disciple practices a cultivation technique that makes him extra sensitive to spirit Qi fluctuation. Thus, in order to train this ability more, I assigned him to the outpost near the Dread Coil Marsh.
He was to focus on expanding its scope and see if he could let it work even in the Dread Coil Marsh, which is so suppressive to us cultivators. But then yesterday, he sensed a spirit Qi fluctuation as well, which alarmed him and he came to inform us.
I didn't think that it was a Dao treading realm cultivator at first, and thought he was just mistaken due to his lack of experience. After all, it wouldn't be the first strange thing we saw from the marsh.
But now… now that seems to be true." Senior Kong replied.
