Jiang Xinghai mulled it over for a moment before answering, "I believe the Shadow Sect is recruiting geniuses in the Dragon Country simply to strengthen itself. As for why they established Mirror Lake Manor as a prison—besides incarcerating those who won't obey them—I think there's an even greater conspiracy brewing behind it all."
"Mm, go on," the senior official said with a nod.
"How influential is the Shadow Sect in the Celestial Profound Realm?" Jiang Xinghai asked.
