After pondering for a long time, Gu Sheng approached one of the teams.
This team had strong Spiritual Energy with no trace of Evil Qi; it was obvious they had come solely for the Spiritual Pearls. As Gu Sheng approached step by step, their gazes became wary.
When only a few steps apart, Gu Sheng stopped.
"Brother, I mean no harm. I just wanted to ask, since you've already reached the foot of East Mountain, why have you set up camp here? Is the Sect Leader of the Fan Sect unavailable?"
Hearing this, the man visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Sect Leader is here, but the hour hasn't arrived yet; we can't enter East Mountain."
"Why?"
"The Fan Sect Leader has decreed that we must wait until all sects have arrived at the mountain's foot before we can enter East Mountain to ensure fairness. We arrived first, so we picked a good spot to camp."
Saying so, he pointed to an empty spot nearby.
