Such an arrangement naturally couldn't escape the eyes of everyone on the island.
Soon, the news that the Island Master planned to build a new city on Starlight Island spread like the wind among the cultivators.
In the tea shed by the dock, a few acquainted loose cultivators gathered together and spoke in hushed tones.
"Have you heard? Even the 'Mountain Shield' and 'Liuyun Brick' from the Thousand Mechanism Sect have been brought here. Those aren't trivial items."
"If it really was to return Starlight Island to the Profound Celestial Sect, why go to such lengths? I think the Island Master had long been planning this."
"The disciples of Profound Celestial Sect looked displeased when they left a while ago. Now, after so long, there's been no movement at all..."
The group exchanged glances, their meaning clear without needing to be spoken.
A few days later, a Golden Core Refining Spirit True Master from the Thousand Mechanism Sect personally arrived at Starlight Island.
