The situation was worse than expected.
It wasn't just the Misthaven Ocean.
In various places belonging to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, Sister Zhao's albums were being covertly circulated.

Even if they sought release with other cultivators, their desires would never be completely alleviated.
They only wanted to see more of Sister Zhao's albums.

Gently, seductively, these albums lured the cultivators, step by step, towards the abyss.
The most critical aspect was that the timing was impeccable.
