At the same time, on the other end of the desert.
Inside another secret chamber in an oasis.
An old man in black-and-green robes was speaking in a low voice to a slightly chubby, prosperous-looking middle-aged Cultivator:
"Lugu must have found out something; that's why he's come at us again and again, trying to wipe us out… I reckon he wants revenge."
"He should also know what I did to his elder brother…"
"And the news the Young Master sent back earlier wasn't wrong—the Shugubu really does have something going on in secret with the Danque Tribe…"
…
The old man in black-and-green robes rambled on at length.
The slightly chubby, prosperous-looking Cultivator merely shook his head and said:
"None of that has anything to do with me. You killing each other is your own tribal business. I only do business; I don't meddle in any grudges."
The old man in black-and-green robes nodded. "Yes."
The cultivation of the old man in black-and-green robes was Late Golden Core Stage.
