”His disciple, we can probably get more information about him soon.” someone said.

”The Heaven alliance meet.” another muttered.

”Many eyes will be watching the meet.”

”The Heaven alliance usually invites the nine powers to come watch, but this has always been just a cutesy. With recent development, even if they fail to invite other powers, they will come.” the clan chief said.

”This kind of situation, we cannot send just some ground's keeper.” one of them suggested.

”True.” they all nodded to this.

”I will go.” the clan chief said and they all froze.

”Clan chief, this level of matter does not need you making an appearance yourself. Just one of us is okay.” someone protested. They all thought like this. How high was their clan chief, a little Heaven alliance meet does not warrant his attention.

”Tie Nse will come. This event is one he has never missed, no matter how much he ignores his alliance. This is why the leaders of the nine powers will come as well. A confrontation is inevitable. Non of you will be able to handle him.” the clan head said.

He was right. Thinking about it, they understood this point. If the leaders of the nine powers will be coming themselves, sending them, will be putting them in an odd position. They will be unable to talk in the midst of such powers. If a fight breaks, they will be unable to stand their ground with the rest.

”Clan chief, there is something else.” a skinny bald man broke the silence, ”There is word that the south side city in the Demon lands has become like the Baju Valley.”

His words caused those around to look at him in horror.

”How is this possible?” someone asked.

”Young master Ku Nam just returned from the Demon lands with an artifact. He said that the astral roots have died. Could this be a side effect of that?” someone asked.

”If so, why did it not affect all three cities.” another countered.

”A subordinate of mine that went there to confirm this, said it was just like the Baju valley and kills even faster than the famed valley.” the bald elder said.

”Tie Nse gets a new disciple, he puts the boy in the Baju valley, the boy stays for ten years and comes out unscratched. Since then, no one is capable of entering there. All our criminals can no more be sent there since our keys have become useless. Now, another Baju valley has been created in the south side city. Even if that little boy, Tie Nse, swears that this is not related to him and that disciple of his, I will not believe it. And I dare say none of the nine powers will too. It will be an interesting Heaven alliance meet.” the clan chief said.
