Discussing Next Steps

"I felt something amiss when I first entered the Yang-Dao Sect," the Prime Shadow said, surprising the others. "My instincts warned me ever so slightly that something was amiss, although I couldn't tell what it was. That feeling grew stronger when I entered this Yang-Sphere, although I still can't tell what the reason is."

"The Yang-Dao Sect and the Yang-Sphere?" John repeated. "Could the Yang-Dao Sect be behind whatever's happening then?"

"Unlikely," the Prime Shadow shook his head. "However, with the skill and resources at their disposal, it isn't impossible for the Sword-Dao Sect to tamper with the Yang-Dao Sect without the Yang-Sovereign knowing. After all, he may be strong, but he is not omnipotent. However, until we know for certain what is going on, I won't make any hasty conclusions."

The three discussed Azurae and the potential plot that was taking place for a while longer, with John divulging all the details he could regarding the mysterious woman.
