At the Ling Tian Sect, southward of the northern desert.
Ever since the Sect Leader, Duan Ling Tian, had left, the group of senior officials in the sect remained low-spirited.
The Gold Thug and Xiong Quan who once followed Duan Ling Tian did not know whether he was dead or alive because they could not enter the Lost Stone Forest.
To the Lost Stone Forest, Duan Ling Tian's break-in was undoubtedly a taboo. The Martial Emperor Shi Qi had personally ordered a gag order so that no Martial Emperor's disciple or followers dared to spread the word.
Under such dire circumstances, Ling Tian Sect had kept a lower profile compared to before.
However, losing Duan Ling Tian was akin to losing the pillar of the Ling Tian Sect. As time passed, the sect somewhat lost its cohesion.
Those who bore the brunt were the grade one weapons craftsmen and grade one alchemists. They had gone to the Ling Tian Sect mainly to improve their Weapons Refinement Dao and Medicine Refinement Dao.
