Far to the south of the Warders main fortress, a man with torn robes and some blood from light gashes was moving as fast as he could through wild forest. Beasts generally ignored him as he was near the peak of tier 8 Sky Realm.
That was sufficient for areas regulated by cultivators to basically be left alone. Star Tier beasts were located mostly in the beast controlled islands or in the supreme sect only. Tier 9 beasts were rather rare for similar reasons.
The harried man was heaving breath but he did not stop, did not dare to stop.
He had failed!
Triton had the ability to monitor the various bases that had slowly been built up in both Wild Heart Isle and the surrounding islands under the Warders' control.
As they all suddenly went dark, he knew his time was running out! He used his underlings as cover by giving the orders to pull out. Those were legitimate insofar as they existed but his master had given no such permission.
