The emaciated man opened his eyes with great difficulty and looked at the luxuriously dressed man, who had called out to him.

"I'm fine, Wu Xun. I just received some backlash because I overexerted my senses." The emaciated man said.

This luxuriously dressed man was none other than Wu Lim city's mayor, Wu Xun who was anxiously looking at the emaciated man's body. He was looking at the grievous wounds that were present on the torso of the emaciated man. The wounds seemed to be trying to heal but were being corroded by a black substance.

"But Elder brother, why are you exerting yourself when you're still not healed?" Wu Xun asked.

The emaciated man's eyes wandered over to the inscriptions that were carved all over the cave and then went towards the troughs that were carrying blood. He stared at the troughs for a bit and then scrunched his brows.

"You need to increases the blood sacrifices, we may need to make some changes to our plan soon." The emaciated man spoke.

"Yes brother, I have already commissioned more mercenaries to hunt the spirit beasts. But why do we need to make changes at this stage? It will set our progress back by months." Wu Xun asked.

"Our progress has already been set back by months now. What I sensed just now was someone ascending." The emaciated man answered with a grim tone.

A shocked expression could be seen on Wu Xun's face upon hearing his brother's words. He clenched his fists before asking,

"How did no one know of this? At least the top sects should have known if someone was about to ascend after thousands of years."

"Whoever it was, they were able to hide themselves very well. To escape the eyes and ears of the top sects, they must have been planning this for an extremely long time." The emaciated man answered.

Wu Xun held his chin and thought for a moment before speaking,

"To hide for this long, could they be from the forbidden continent?"

"I doubt it. If they were, we would have been informed by the clan and our plan would have also become much easier. Rather, I have my suspicions on the Eastern Ming dynasty. They have long been opposed to the rule of the Great Zhou Empire and have begun moving against them in the shadows." The emaciated man answered.

Wu Xun nodded his head in acceptance and was about to bid farewell when his brother interrupted him.

"And Wu Xun, spirit beasts are no longer enough if we want to speed up the pace of our plan. I need cultivators." The emaciated man spoke with an emotionless tone.
