The mist will dissipate in 5 years

Louisa did like everyone before her. She went to Imjad Aksil's table and showed her respect.

She then sat at her reserved table, only discussing with the members of the imjad family, clearly not putting the other powerhouse of an unranked country in her eyes.

Anzar realized that he needed to be more cautious. Luckily, Louisa didn't recognize him.

Suddenly Aksil Imjad stood up and headed toward Anzar, then pulled out a saber from his storage ring.

Anzar didn't react. He remained calm. However, Utas, next to him, was completely terrified by this sudden change.

Aksil walked slowly, and no one was talking anymore inside the hall. All the attention was on Aksil under a heavy silence.

Aksil ignored Anzar and cut the head of two guests at the table next to him.

Everyone was breathing a sigh of relief.

What happened now is a convention of all Aksil's banquets. There is no Feast where Aksil doesn't kill at least someone.

Anzar wasn't surprised. He would have done the same if he had a technique that could read others' minds.

This way, he would eliminate an unloyal subordinate and install his dread deep in the others.

But generally, the cultivators present at Aksil Banquets don't know the reason of this behavior. Some even believe that it is just a hobby. Until the day they had a dangerous thought. But it will be too late, and they won't be able to alert others.

"Now that this banquet is clean, I will let my wife announce the good news." Said Aksil, satisfied.

Lilla also stood up and announced :

"Thanks to my husband's achievement and influence in the continent, our kingdom will have access to one extracted spirit vein every 10 years. Therefore, it will not take long before someone achieves the Soul formation realm, finally allowing us to reach a higher grade."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall had a different countenance. But all the nascent soul experts of the kingdom didn't show too much of an expression.

Lilla Then continued: "once we reach this, we will unite all the families and forces of the kingdom into one unique sect. Of course, this sect will be subordinate to my husband. But we won't force you, for those who agree today can obtain a token allowing them to explore the islands. The mist will dissipate in 5 years."

Many guests had very thoughtful expressions, but they all knew that they didn't have much choice. They don't believe the sweet words pronounced by Lilla.

One by one, they all went to receive the token and, by this, agreed to her term.

Anzar also did the same. With the word spoken by Lilla, he already deduced that Aksil Imjad is probably preparing himself for an eventual conflict in the continent. And he needs powerful and loyal cannon fodder.

As for the token, it is necessary to have one to enter and explore the island.

Islands like this are spread in the sea, and every time one is discovered, the power in the continent will not allow anybody to enter and obtain benefits. Therefore, it is not in their interest to let outsiders improve.

Since only low cultivators can enter the dissipating mist, they will position some heavenly-defying old monster to guard it and only allow those with the token.

Anzar took the token and found it had a flame symbol on it. This symbol must probably represent the Sect of Aksil Imjad.

Anzar isn't worried about exploring the islands. There will be no cultivators above the nascent soul realm inside. he believes it is an excellent opportunity for him.

However, he will need to make plans on how he should behave.

Suddenly, Lilla said again: "Since we provided you with the token, you will only keep half of the treasure you obtained inside. The rest will return to the Imjad family."

The guests were not surprised by this statement. Everyone started enjoying the feast, and the banquet became lively too.

Anzar was enjoying this moment like the others. He found that his acting skills are top-notch.

Once the banquet was over, Anzar went back to his mountain.

He realized that Aksil would not be easy to deal with, and he would need to move cautiously and plan all the possible scenarios.

He ordered Kahina, Giss, And uzmir to take additional precautions. He also asked for five loyal members to infiltrate the Blue Cloud Sect. But before that, he will put necessary restrictions on their sea of consciousness.

Anzar spent 6 months setting enough restrictions on these crucial spies. Finally, he instructed them to find out if the two elders survived the battle and the whereabouts of Arderfi, the core disciple he met before joining the battlefield.

He wants to know if the sect has any information about him and prevent it.

After this, Anzar finally went into closed-door cultivation, waiting for good news. He also asked Giss to bring him more information about the islands.
