As everyone settled down, Sect Leader Changgeng took the lead to break the silence in the hall.
"I have summoned you all here today because there is a rather strange matter that requires our collective strategy."
With a solemn tone, he slowly spoke: "In the past half-year, Black Zeal Pool's actions have become increasingly peculiar.
Previously, our sects often clashed at the mine boundary, but in the last six months, disciples from Black Zeal Pool have taken the initiative to retreat. Even when encountering our sect's disciples, there is no conflict, and they are quite courteous instead.
Moreover, Sect Leader Mo Zhai sent a message the other day, seemingly willing to cede three exterior mine veins on the west side."
Upon hearing this, the two Core Formation Ascendants showed surprise, then furrowed their brows.
