"I may have found a clue," Elyon began, setting down a stack of jade slips. "Though it doesn't directly name the Ephemera Sect, it involves an incident that occurred around the same time as the Ice Drake abduction and the Imperial Court's compensations."
Lin Mu gestured for him to continue. "Go on. What happened?"
Elyon took a steadying breath. "A fleet of ships carrying a massive shipment of Immortal Stones and rare resources was lost at sea. I assume they were meant to be payment to the people the imperial court had bought treasures from.
According to the records I found, the fleet departed from the southern trade port of Luyan Harbor and was supposed to arrive at another port in the western territories. It never made it."
Daoist Chu frowned. "How large was this fleet?"
