The disaster at the Great Sun Sword Tomb had just concluded, and at the same time...
The Heart Beast Sect's Mountain Gate floated mid-air, standing tall.
The Mountain Protection Array, refined over time, now surrounded five towering peaks that formed the Mountain Gate.
A thousand-meter-wide port was constructed around the outer side of each peak.
Countless figures bustled about the ports, with numerous giant beasts hauling cargo. If the items were valuable enough, they'd be transported via the Nearby Array to black markets across the land.
The disciples of the Heart Beast Sect numbered over ten thousand, all specializing in controlling their Lifebound Spirit Beasts.
Buzz.
A hundred-meter-long bat-shaped carrier, stacked with buildings upon its back, soared through the clouds to deliver goods to its affiliated black markets. Even if Loose Cultivators sought to intercept and steal treasures, they couldn't approach unnoticed.
