Chongxuan Sect, at the foot of Fire God Mountain.
The night is dark, silence surrounding, the distant cawing of crows ironically makes the place even eerily silent.
A figure, silent as the night, emerges out of the shadows.
The person is cloaked in mist, making it impossible to discern facial features, gender, age – all a mystery.
At the mountain's base, a person quietly steps out from behind a boulder, speaking urgently: "Is the merchandise here?"
The visitor silently nods.
"Really?"
"First, hand over the Spirit Stones."
"You!"
"This treasure is in high demand."
This person stepping out from the rocks hesitates briefly, then takes out a large handful of Spirit Stones from a storage bag.
The glow of the Spirit Stones faintly illuminates her face: It's Ye, Zheng Fa's follower, Ninth Elder's kin and disciple.
Her face full of reluctance, hesitating for a long time, she finally hands over the Spirit Stones with slightly trembling hands.
