"Then we will see what happens."
Mo Yuxin nodded. They continued walking. Neither of them knew that the people pushing against Battle Maiden Sect had already noticed their friendship with its disciples. And someone had already started asking questions about the two wandering cultivators. That night, a meeting was held in one of the upper rooms of Thousand Dao City. Several powerful figures sat around a long table. The room belonged to no single sect. That was intentional. They were not discussing official matters. They were discussing the Battle Maiden Sect. One man in black robes said, "Their trade routes are becoming difficult to block." Another replied, "Then apply pressure through the merchant council." A third said, "The Purple Heaven Valley elders are still supplying them."
"Not enough to matter."
"The Nine Heavens Academy keeps accepting their students."
"That can be addressed."
Someone else asked, "What about the outsiders?" The room went quiet.
"Which outsiders?"
