A few hundred miles away from Emerald Cove. Dadangar.
Two hours after Aksai had left the small abandoned island, a group of five Spirit cultivators descended upon it.
Leading the group was Shen Ji, a formidable Foundation Building Expert whose aura radiated power and authority.
Clad in black, Shen Ji's emerald eyes gleamed with cunning and ruthlessness.
The other four cultivators, all in the late-stage Spirit Refining realm, followed closely. Two were Spirit Refining Perfectionists, while the remaining two were at the 9th stage of the Spirit Refining realm. Half of their faces were concealed by black masks, adding an air of mystery to their presence.
Shen Ji surveyed the island with a scrutinizing gaze before addressing his subordinates. "Spread out and plant these runic banners," he ordered, handing each of them a banner. "We'll use formation to track our target."
