Aksai sat in his study, quietly reading through several newly delivered scrolls.
They contained the latest updates concerning Emerald Cove Island.
Only a day had passed since he had gathered his core subordinates, given them their respective instructions, and secured their departure from the island.
Yet, in that single day, the island had already undergone some major changes.
Except for the mortal populace, low-level Spirit cultivators, and a portion of the less important but still active members of the island administration, most of Emerald Cove Island's core forces had already left.
Naturally, the news of their departure had been kept secret from the masses.
A sudden announcement that the island's strongest cultivators were abandoning it would only cause unnecessary panic.
For now, the ordinary inhabitants continued with their daily lives.
But that peace wouldn't last.
