Gravis looked at the head with furrowed brows. He hadn't noticed this person at all, but Stella had been able to feel him.

"How did you notice him?" he asked.

Stella noticed that Gravis wasn't angry at all, which meant that he truly wasn't connected to this uninvited guest. "He used the Law of Shadow to hide. I know that you already know this Law, but he probably also had the Law of Shadow as his Avatar. This meant that his Law of Shadow exhibited the power of a level four Law."

Gravis nodded. "Additionally, the level difference between us is too much," Gravis said. "If I were an early Major Circulation Immortal, I might have noticed him."

Stella nodded.

"Do you recognize his aura?" Gravis asked.

Someone had become so interested in Gravis that they had commissioned a Peak Immortal to keep watch over him. This meant that at least one Sect Master was already very interested in Gravis' secrets.

"I don't need to recognize the aura to know who that is," Stella said. "This style of espionage is trademarked by one of the organizations."

"Organizations?" Gravis asked. "So, it's not a Sect?"

"Not entirely," Stella said as she crossed her arms. "They are similar to Sects but not identical. Usually, Sects take territories for themselves and work under one banner. This organization is different in the sense that they are all over the world without any real headquarter."

Gravis scratched his chin. Based on what Stella said, Gravis could already imagine the organization. "Let me guess. You said that they weren't really Sects and that they are basically all over the world without a headquarter. Do they teach their own members?"

Stella's eyes shone a bit in surprise, and she shook her head.

Gravis looked closely at the head. "If they don't teach their disciples, it probably means that they recruit them from outside. However, nearly any Immortal is a Cultivator that all the Sects want. This means that membership for this organization is either nonexclusive or that no one wants to go against them."
