Throughout the Western Province, the scattered disciples and spies of the Scarlet Dragon Sect received the shocking news of the Azure Cloud Sect's arrival. They hurriedly transmitted messages back to their elders, who in turn relayed it up the chain until it reached Red-Beard Immortal himself.
Meanwhile, high in the clouds, the elders of the Azure Cloud Sect had also noticed something unusual. They spotted the Scarlet Dragon Sect disciples along their path, although the scouts' auras were weak enough that they didn't recognize who they were.
"Which sect do these cultivators belong to? What could they be doing here?"
"Looks like they're searching for something. Maybe a treasure has emerged?" the elders of Azure Cloud murmured to each other, a hint of caution growing in their hearts.
"What?! The Azure Cloud Sect is here? And they've brought elders with them?!"
