Loseris Kingdom
The Kingdom became a mess as the entire capital here had turned chaotic from the recent city shattering event.
Numerous people had no way to survive the chaos so they all either stayed in their homes or tried to escape as if an epidemic had spread throughout the city.
However, it was futile since the entire capital had been sealed by numerous experts who were currently scouring the entire capital for clues.
As for the authorities of the capital city, they were helpless and did not even dare to look at the Tripartite Alliance Members in the eyes but instead, they complied with the orders and helped seal the entire city with manpower.
The entire capital city was in a state of panic as Sixth Stage Cultivators flew above them, watching the city authorities in disdain and even people inside their houses with apt interests; mostly malicious.
Seven figures flew in the skies of Loseris Kingdom as they surveyed the entire Loseris Capital.
A middle-aged man with a thin mustache spoke as his eyes shot open, "There are a few suspicious people in this capital, and I suspect they are the remnants of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries."
A feeling of being sensed remained on the other six men before that feeling entirely disappeared. They all looked at the man who spoke and knew he was the one who was probing the capital with his Low-Level Elder Soul Stage Soul Sense.
"We can investigate them." Suggested a person with sharp eyes and brows. His body was taut, a bit straight with his hands folded. He wore a purple robe defined with ring patterns.
"Well, you two investigate, I am not going to waste my time with those losers. Just find Daniuis and it will eventually lead to the mysterious masked group." Another man with long green hair lazily replied as he inclined his body in the air, acting like he was resting on a recliner.
Many people had witnessed the death of the latter sequence of the battle and its aftermath. Many spatial rings were scattered around the ruined Royal Palace, and so many people had tried their luck but they all got captured by the members of the Tripartite Alliance.
Information was gradually pulled out of them but they had all become slaves to the ones who were flying here.
Five of the seven men turned to look at the once who spoke in annoyance, including the two who spoke before.
The five of them were from the Alstreim Family Faction in the Tripartite Alliance, and they were the ones who had incurred the most losses in terms of experts these few days.
Second only to Astreim Family Faction was the Falling Snow Sect Faction which lost three elders in the Desolate Plains. As for how they died, it was revealed that there were mysterious masked experts who nearly instakilled all of them!
The Grand Elder who represented the Alstreim Family in the Tripartite Alliance Territory was supposed to lead them to find Cloud Spring Mercenaries Leader Daniuis but was surprisingly dead in this Loseris Kingdom.
Initially, the Grand Elder told them that their help wasn't required. So, they had been touring around, patrolling in other regions and cities in case if Daniuis didn't react to the bait.
From the recent investigations of the new slaves, they knew a few raven-shaped golden masked people appeared to help Daniuis who was caught through the bait that had been placed.
Never in their imagination did they expect for their Grand Elder to die in this simple endeavor.
The five of them didn't say anything but looked at another person who suddenly waved his hands.
That person held a jade stone in his hands for a few seconds before a smile lit up his face. He had short spiky blue hair that accentuated his crazy yet wide eyes, making him look like a rogue. He was also dressed in blue robes.
The green-haired man who reclined in the air spoke casually without batting his eyelids, "Have you found something?"
His lazy eyes swept the others, however, he knew none of their names since they weren't acquainted. He was only sent as a backup to this place, to play the part of 'Tripartite' since this is an alliance.
He was from the Towering Cloud Hall Faction which had the least amount of casualties. He imagined it was the case for this spiky-haired man who was from the Falling Snow Sect Faction as well.
In truth, most of them weren't from the three neighboring territories but born and bred here in this Tripartite Alliance Territory.
The entire Tripartite Alliance had three major powers behind their back. Those three powers which formed the Tripartite Alliance had inner and outer faction members in which they were the outer faction members.
Outer members were those who joined the Tripartite Alliance to cultivate. They were subjected to restrictions in clearance and had been tagged with all forms of suppression even though they had equal cultivation to the inner members.
The Grand Elder who died was an inner member, and that was why the entire Tripartite Alliance raged and sent numerous experts, mainly the outer members, to scour the surroundings of the North of Desolate Plains.
Inner members enjoyed most benefits, however, they, the outer members were the ones who had to work most of the time even though they were in the majority.
To this, the green-haired man could only shake his head in lamentation. However, he was entirely satisfied with his current life even though he was an outer member.
But the same can't be said about the others.
The spiky-haired man was from the Falling Snow Sect. He still smiled but shook his head in excitement while his lips trembled. He had been waiting for many days, even months and years for an opportunity!
For these three years, he had been silently contacting the members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, trying to gain their trust while making them betray their Cloud Spring Mercenaries.
His actions so far had been a failure, but sometimes a success from all those he had spoken with, however, he didn't take any kind of actions and expose even when the informants had revealed some hideouts, silently bidding his time for a perfect opportunity.
The spiky-haired man silently screamed in excitement. It looks like his patience and silence finally bore fruit!
With a contribution such as this, he could finally enter the place of inner members through marriage or other means!
Such a simple yet effective approach had finally helped him gain status! Although it was in the future, he could see it standing before his eyes.
Joining the inner circle meant that he would have access to more resources, even having a minute chance to join the Falling Snow Sect which is an Emperor Grade Power!
The corner of his lips widened as he turned to look at the other six men "The main hideout of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries has been exposed!"

"Sasha..." Ophelia quickly smiled at the two newcomers and the previous pale expression she exuded was nowhere to be seen, "Haus, I've seen that you managed to capture her heart."
She knew these two people. Sasha was someone she knew after returning from one of her missions to complete.
Besides, she got to know them as acquaintances when she saved Sasha and Haus from the invading Tripartite Alliance members at that time.
Haus awkwardly but proudly smiled, however, Sasha quickly understood the topic was being drifted.
Her eyes flashed as she held Haus's hand, "That's right! Long years of being wooed by Haus has melted my heart."
Ophelia moved her finger towards her lips as she chuckled, "What are you two doing in this desolate area?
