Meanwhile, in a different corner of this desolate world, another story unfolded. Far to the south, nestled within a valley teeming with vibrant flora, a combined camp buzzed with activity. This was the temporary haven constructed by the Azure Peak Sect and the Emerald Sea Palace.
Sect Leader Deng, a wiry man with a neatly trimmed beard and a steely glint in his eyes, meticulously reviewed the reports submitted by his scouting teams. A satisfied smirk played on his lips. Their strategy, a collaborative effort devised by him and Palace Mistress Gao Ming, was proving highly effective. Multiple teams, comprised of elite disciples from both sects, scoured the surrounding area, systematically eliminating the local beast population.
"Impressive," he murmured, his voice heavy with satisfaction. The average kill count for their disciples hovered between 500 and 1000, a remarkable feat considering the limited time they had spent in this desolate world.
