Right under the nose of the Western Mansion, it had managed to establish and nurture a powerful organisation like the Wolf Sky Mercenary Corps.
In the Northern Territory, it had the Devouring Heaven Sect.
Perhaps it also had branches operating in the Southern and Eastern Territories!
No wonder groups of Swallowing Sky Thieves regularly attacked the major forces across the Four Territories. Their purpose was probably to weaken the local forces while secretly strengthening their own organisations and expanding their influence.
If Ryan hadn't captured Jiao Zhiming, someone who was frightened enough to reveal everything he knew, he might never have discovered the existence of the Earth Gate. He would also never have known that the Wolf Sky Mercenary Corps and the Swallowing Sky Thieves were actually its branches!
