Intricate Alliances; Hidden Agendas; Back to the Sect

In a hidden chamber deep within the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, Cyrus and Dorian sat, separated by a table covered with maps and documents.

Cyrus explained the situation, detailing Sue Ming's actions and how she had used the Toxic Blade Sect's poison against Mira and the Battle Maiden Sect. He also went on to explain a little about Mira, her exploits, her known powers, and so on.

Lastly, he described how Aelina had declared war on the Crimson Slayer Sect and that he had just lost the first battle, despite using their poison.

Dorian's expression shifted from disbelief to deep contemplation.

'That Sue Ming bitch really had to go and muddy the waters.' Dorian grumbled.

He obviously knew much of this information, but most came in reports–he lacked any personal connection to the stories. Not to mention, Mira and the Battle Maiden Sect had nothing to do with him.
