「Two days ago.」
「On the day the River City Dark Web Branch was annihilated.」
「In a great mountain within the Southern Tri-Province.」
An Elder in a black robe held a small, ancient-looking cauldron, which was trembling intermittently.
With each tremor, the Elder's expression grew more grave, and he would occasionally spit a mouthful of blood onto the cauldron. As the blood splattered onto it, the cauldron seemed to come alive, absorbing the liquid. After absorbing the blood, the trembling cauldron gradually calmed down.
After this was repeated several times, a faint smile appeared on the Elder's face.
"Success!"
His eyes brimming with joy, the Elder caressed the small cauldron lovingly.
"High Priest!"
Just then, a knock came from the door.
The Elder's expression darkened instantly as he grunted, "Haven't I told you? Do not disturb me unless it is a matter of utmost importance!"
