Decades ago, Luo Baihao, due to his old age, entered seclusion for cultivation. Last year, he achieved great success in his practice and emerged from his retreat, not only looking much younger but also brimming with vitality, far from resembling a centenarian. In fact, he seemed more energetic than many young people.
In the year that followed, Luo Baihao led his followers to conquer Southeast Asia. This region was already rife with Witch Clans, making unification extremely challenging. However, the Holy Witch Cult managed to accomplish this in just one year, showcasing the immense power of Luo Baihao.
The unification of the Southeast Asian Witch Clans inflated the confidence of the Holy Witch Cult to unprecedented levels. Recently, they dispatched an advance team led by Zou Konghu to Xiangxi, where seventy percent of Huaxia's Witch Clans were gathered. If they could conquer Xiangxi, their influence could spread throughout all of Huaxia.
During this time, Zou Konghu and his companions advanced through Xiangxi like a hot knife through butter, conquering the three major Witch Clans and the Five Great Families that had dominated Xiangxi for a century. They thought they could immediately hold a victory banquet, but tonight they received news that was infuriating.
In the room, besides Luo Baihao, there were several others—some high-ranking members of the Holy Witch Cult and some recent converts from Southeast Asia's Witch Clans who had joined over the past year. Everyone heard Zou Konghu's words, and the high-ranking officials of the Holy Witch Cult wore expressions of anger.
Meanwhile, the Southeast Asian Witch Clan leaders who had recently submitted to the Holy Witch Cult felt a flicker of anticipation. These leaders were not wholeheartedly loyal; they had submitted out of fear of Luo Baihao’s powers and were waiting for an opportunity to break free from the Holy Witch Cult's control if Huaxia managed to defeat them.
"Sang Xiang, you seem quite pleased," Luo Baihao suddenly remarked, turning his gaze toward a dark-skinned, thin old man.
This thin elder appeared to be in his sixties, with graying hair and sharp eyes that exuded a chilling aura. Despite his unremarkable appearance, he held significant status as Southeast Asia's foremost Sorcerer, renowned throughout the region. Even many stars and wealthy individuals from Huaxia had sought his assistance.
Sorcerers are categorized into black and white; black represents evil while white signifies good. The struggle between black Sorcerers and White Sorcerers in Southeast Asia has persisted for ages but has generally maintained a balance. Sang Xiang’s identity as a Sorcerer is considered half black and half white; in modern society, such a mixed identity allows for better survival and maximizes personal interests.
As a prominent Sorcerer in Southeast Asia, Sang Xiang publicly presented himself as a White Sorcerer while still engaging in nefarious deeds whenever it suited him. Had it not been for the sudden rise of the Holy Witch Cult sweeping across Southeast Asia, he would still be living comfortably in his grand villa, enjoying the adoration and support of celebrities and socialites.
However, Sang Xiang's good days were over. With the arrival of the Holy Witch Cult came an invasion that claimed his villa as their base in Malaysia. Though he felt indignant about this loss, he found himself powerless to change it. The strength of Luo Baihao was too terrifying; despite being skilled in sorcery himself, he felt insignificant in comparison.
All that he had painstakingly built over many years now belonged to the Holy Witch Cult. It was impossible for Sang Xiang to feel good about this situation. Yet upon hearing about the setbacks faced by the Holy Witch Cult in Huaxia, he struggled to suppress a flicker of joy that betrayed his true feelings.
