Chapter 528
The situation in the new continent had evolved in the short period in which Noah had left .
The forces of the Utra nation noticed the disappearance of the heroic cultivator from the Shosti family and managed to trace his space-ring, confirming the death of the noble .
The news further shook the foundations of the peaceful behavior of the three big nations in the new land, it seemed evident to them that one of those forces had begun attacking the others .
Yet, it must be said that each one of those powers had different ideas on the identity of the assailants .
The Papral nation believed that either the Empire or the Utra nation had struck first, it was aware that the Hive had carried the latest assassination, but it didn't know for sure who killed Elder Cheryl .
The Elbas family believed that the Empire was behind those attacks since it was the only nation that had yet to suffer any loss .
Also, the Empire was the only nation that had the power to fight both the Utra nation and Papral nation for the control of the new continent .
The Shandal Empire, instead, was clueless about the recent events, its heroic cultivators tried to set up meetings with the other two forces, but they were rejected every time, it was clear that it was the main suspect .
All in all, the political situation became tense, it seemed that even the slightest spark could ignite a war for the control of those territories .
There were even internal problems in the ranks of the Papral nation and the Utra nation .
The Council and the Elbas family had been forced to request for the help of the sects and noble families to match the exploration speed of the forces of the Empire .
Their forces were fragmented, they didn't follow the orders of the central powers that strictly, leading to the creation of small alliances that explored different areas on their own .
That behavior could be seen more often after the assassinations, distrust toward the Council and Elbas family was in the minds of the heroic cultivators coming from the sects and noble families .
The power of those two big nations became even more fragmented because of that, forcing the Council and the Royals to create a common enemy that could unite their ranks once again .
The only available enemy in the new continent was, of course, the Shandal Empire .
Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Hive waited for the right moment to act again .
They safely remained in the territories that they had discovered, either cultivating next to the lava lake or improving the defenses around the teleportation matrix .
The three big nations weren't aware of their presence there, not even the Papral nation could guess that they had already created a reasonably stable encampment .
Reports continuously arrived in Elder Austin's hands, the Papral nation respected its side of the deal by keeping the Hive informed about the political and geographical situation of the piece of Immortal Lands .
