Hostility

In the depths of the Heavenly Path, the situation was much different. Although the geniuses were separated by several kilometers, given their cultivations, they were still within ear and eyeshot of one another, making communicating quite easy. 

What would have shocked the geniuses to the back, however, was that the monsters that were so close weren't the ones they would have expected. In fact, they might not recognize even a single one of these geniuses. There was no a single member of Demonic Flame or Sentient Sword Sect in sight. 

Mae looked around with a hint of confusion on her face. Her little sister, or more accurately, her little cousin Aantha wasn't too far behind her, just a few dozen kilometers. But Ryu was nowhere in sight, this didn't make any sense to her.
