White clouds on the ridge roll and extend, the bright moon on the horizon waxes and wanes.
In a blink of an eye, another month has gone by.
Many major events occurred during this month.
Firstly, the original dozen or so forces in the gathering area were completely reduced to three forces close to the Zhu Family after several major battles, namely Iron Forest Hall, Huayu Sect, and the Gold Word Workshop which defected with Xu Ning.
Even the two larger forces that maintained neutrality, the Business League and the Yulin Hall, were driven out. The gathering area, including many surrounding resource points, were entirely taken over by the Zhu Family.
The downfall of the gathering area signified the end of the first stage of conflict between the Zhu and Luo cultivation families, with the Luo family's defeat.
Many loose cultivators who were close to the Luo Family fled and were purged, only those who defected to the Zhu Family could survive.
