"Could it be that the Songshan Sect has arrangements near Hengzhou Prefecture as well?"
Zhao Rong harbored a trace of doubt. Since taking over as Sect Leader, he had started investigating the powers surrounding Hengyang.

"Earlier, the Left Alliance Master directed the Songshan Sect to expand southward, advancing as far as Jiujiang Prefecture. The leader at the forefront was Brocade Lion Gao Kexin, but encumbered by the Demon Cult in the Central Plains, many arrangements couldn't be acted upon."
