บท 371: A Special Place

Hour of the Rat. (06:00 AM - 07:00 AM)

The dawn brought a crisp breeze to the open ground just outside the Black Blood Demon Sect.

The mist hung low, swirling around the jagged rocks and barren earth.

Aksai, standing in his simple robes, took in the desolate scene with a quiet focus. Ahead of him, Haitin Blackblood, with his imposing figure and dark robes adorned with blackish blood accents, stood waiting.

"Are you ready?" Haitin asked, his voice steady but with a hint of caution.

Aksai nodded. "I am."

Haitin's eyes narrowed slightly. "Good, because what I'm offering you today is filled with risks, brother Aksai." His tone was grave.

"I'll repeat it again. The opportunity I spoke of is why the three Core Formation Lords of the demonic faction have been missing for years. Their fate… remains unknown."

Aksai raised an eyebrow, intrigued but wary. "Is it an isolated domain?" he asked, his mind racing with possibilities.
