Blackblood Sect. Wild Devil Lands.
Dandangar Subcontinent.
Inside the grand palace that sat in the heart of the Blackblood Sect's core territory, Aksai lay stretched out on a long, soft couch in a spacious room.
This was the same palace where Haitin had hosted him before.
Nothing much had changed. The scent of burning incense still lingered in the air, the same expensive kind used by high-level alchemists. The large floor tiles glowed softly with Spirit essence, and the murals on the ceiling danced with faint light.
He stared at the roof lazily.
Truth be told, he didn't want to be here.
He had other plans. He wanted to leave the Wild Devil Lands, cross the mighty Shiju River, and make his way into the Eternal Beast Dynasty.
That was where his next goal awaited—the Aether Beast. That creature was important, and Aksai didn't want to waste any more time. However, for some reason, the closer he was to his goal, the harder it had become to actually get it.
