Aksai's expression darkened.
"It seems they were gathering resources for his Yaksha transformation. And later, for his cultivation as a False Nascent Soul. The other activities they carried out were just a form of distraction."
Aksai had started deploying his Sentient Fiends as low-level cultivators to act as sleeper cells and spies a long time ago, gathering intelligence related to various regional sects (Chapter 534).
However, his infiltration attempt into the core regions of the Mroot Yaksha Sect through the use of Sentient Fiends had failed completely. It seemed that the Mroot Yaksha Sect had peculiar methods to weed out any potential spies within its midst (Chapter 723).
Only now did Aksai understand the reason behind the failure. It made sense that a sect with connections to an imperial faction from the Shinayin Empire would have special methods to deal with various situations that could be detrimental to its interests.
Selene nodded.
