When Wang Lin and the others were still at the Southern Wilderness, at the north foot of Mount Kunlun, on top of the Ethereal Mountain, everywhere was quiet except for one pavilion. The atmosphere in this pavilion was very weird.
A huge formation was initiated suddenly, engulfing the entire pavilion. No one could enter or exit the pavilion.
A bunch of Ethereal Mountain Sect disciples gathered in the main pavilion in front of that pavilion. They were in the midst of a forum with an elder. But the elder who was hosting the forum did not seem to be focused.
And in a connected pavilion behind the main pavilion, there was an intense battle going on. The main pavilion and this pavilion behind were separated by a formation, preventing any noise from passing through. This was to prevent those in the other pavilions from being alarmed.
