"Yes. We can complete the one-three-six tree," the person who just arrived was Protector A'miem. Many looked at her celestial form and frowned. They were still really angry with her. If not for her, they would still be a Heaven alliance now.

Sensing their angry stares, she snorted.

"This protector intends to join you all into the Heaven Sect!" she said.

They frowned at this. Sect? With their potential, they only ended up as a sect?

"We may not be considered as one of the nine powers, but we are still a top force that is eligible for a token," she said.

"We are? How?" many were sceptical.

"Sure we have more than one soul awakening cultivator left, four soul realisation, but you are the only Heaven seeking cultivator left," Elder Di countered.

"Listen to me. I have arranged to have the sect techniques, skills and others hidden away from the world," she had spoken into their minds directly, instead of saying it out loud. That's true. They may not have the precious skills taken away by the others when they disappeared, but the remaining are still rare!

"Move to the Ino twin mountains. We will be settling there," she said out loud. Many nodded and dispersed.

Protector A'miem turned to the elders who stayed back and spoke into their minds.

"I will be going to find my old friends to see if they are interested in becoming protectors. I am sure of two joining me. The remaining three will be hard to entice. Go to the Ino twin mountain. Patriarch Di, lead them well. While I am not around, make sure they don't go out as much. It is better if we enter seclusion and only appear to enter the light realm. When we gain from the light realm, we will be able to really stabilize ourselves in the cultivation world," To her words, they all nodded and she vanished.

They glanced at each other and dispersed. This was a good plan. This was still a way to redeem themselves.

Word that the Heaven alliance members left behind had formed the Heaven sect spread fast. But where they were, no one knew. Many tried to intercept the Heaven sect member on the road to try and get information on where they were going, but the sect was careful. They made sure to protect as many members as possible. If one was about to be captured, they killed him instantly, to keep the sect's location secret. This alone showed people that they were no more Heaven alliance disciples. Their ruthless actions already gave them a new reputation in the cultivation world.

The gates were evacuated by the heaven sect members and the eight powers sent joint members to maintain it. This stopped looters from rushing over to take what they could. Still, some that had been quicker than the eight powers, were left empty-handed, as they could not find any skill, or artefact of any kind.

Many wondered if it had disappeared with the mountain range. Others did not believe it. They were sure that the new Heaven sect had taken it all away.

In the demon Lands, in an odd forest, Old Iba and Nti Anem looked at the veil of misty ahead. Nti Anem was standing while Old Iba sat in front of an alchemy pot. He was holding firm the pot lid as alchemy fire spread from his hand unto the pot bottom, from under the iron base tripod. The pot brewed almost as dangerously as the dark clouds in the sky.

Tie Nse appeared a moment later and glanced at the two before training his eyes at the veil of fog.

"You are back alive. Good. Send him this pill," Old Iba said.

"Is he about to break through or this is just tribulation lightning to destroy what you are brewing?" Tie Nse asked.

"How am I supposed to know? I was informed when the clouds started forming. I was yet to begin brewing then. The pill is ready. Maybe the tribulation lightning for the pill and his breakthrough have combined. Regardless, I am keeping it contained in the pot because I am not ready to find out!" old Iba said.

Tie Nse was glad he had kept a mental window to Ed open. If not, he would not have been able to communicate Nti Anem's message to him, and now, inform him that the pill is ready.

"Get ready, I'm sending in the pill," he communicated to Ed.

"Ok," was the only reply he got.

Taking out a jade box from inside his space, he turned to Old Iba and opened the box before him.

"Put the pill in here," he said and Old Iba froze.

"What?"

"Mbad Iba, this is not the time for you to cower!" Tie Nse scolded.
