Chapter 97

We leave the Sect within minutes, after Elder Ming hands out communication tokens to the various squads. They're like an open mic, transmitting every sound that's audible to the other tokens to their bearers.

"You take the lead, we will follow your acting" Sect Master Becky tells me. "I can hide my cultivation very well, they'll think you're the strongest in the group"

Sporadic news filters in. 2 small sects have already fallen, their attackers moving to reinforce the attacks on stronger Sects. The wandering enemy group is headed towards High River Sect at last sighting.

Elder Song's communication token with Nanny Vitale was destroyed just a few minutes ago, and he's got coordinates, so we are headed there as fast as we can, trying to make our arrival look like an accidental encounter.

Group 3 has sight of them, roughly a thousand disciples, with only a few dozen at Core Formation and 3 of the enemy Immortal Rank fighters.
