Outside the Blackheaven Sect, a group of people in black robes stood in a forest. They gazed at the distant mountain peak. They were lost in thought.
"Will the Grand Earth Emperor appear soon? Shouldn't we try to stop it?" asked a young woman.
"Our orders from above are to wait, set up formations, and resonate with our bloodlines," said a middle-aged man.
"Why is that?" someone asked curiously.
"Since we can't prevent the Grand Earth Emperor from appearing, we should try to gain some benefits from it. What we might obtain remains uncertain. In any case, the clan has instructed us not to take rash actions, so we must wait quietly," said an elderly man.
"The disciples of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect and the Clear Sky School are very active in this area. It's risky to act recklessly here," said someone else.
The previous incident with the Bright Moon Sect had made them lose too much. Moreover, they couldn't prevent the Grand Earth Emperor from appearing, which was frustrating.
