He Xiu, Hai Jinren, Pan Mang, and Pan Shin gathered before the large board within a different Weaver Enclave area. Their arms held out before them as a series of dazzling threads knotted around itself with great precision and speed as if weaving something.

After a long time, the lights faded as everyone carried a slightly exhausted look; they sat down to take a moment to rest.

"Whew! That was a bustle; it's a quarter way finished, and at this rate, we might be able to finish before the day they leave," Pan Mang said as he wiped his runny forehead.

"Indeed, hehe, they'll probably thank us with joy once they see what we're making." Pan Shin said with a smile.

He Xiu also nodded at this as she felt it would lighten up their spirits; she turned to the side and noticed that Hai Jinren was a bit unfocused. Feeling a bit curious, she asked, "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Hai Jinren finally snapped out of his daze and replied, "Oh, nothing serious, I'm just a bit worn out from the battle; I think I'll call it a night for now."

"It's understandable; you had to fight someone like that Zan Jin of all persons; you should rest early; we'll turn in after we do a bit more work." Pan Mang said.

Hai Jinren felt gratitude at this as he looked at them and spoke, "Thanks again, see you all tomorrow."

Following his words, he got up from his posture and began to leave the room, but as he did, his eyes flickered as he thought to himself, 'We still have yet to hear about that Zan Tribe's reactions, but I guess I can't expect anything yet, I'll keep an eye out just in case."

As Hai Jinren left with those thoughts in mind, He Xiu looked at the others and spoke, "By the way, has anyone seen mother?"

Pan Mang and Pan Shin looked at each other as if mentally discussing to themselves. Pan Shin soon answered, "Last time we checked, she went to the base of the enclave; maybe she's weaving something."

He Xiu thought for a while before she spoke, "Oh, I see, then I'll go out for a bit; I'll be back in a little while."

Following her words, He Xiu left in a hurry as the Pan Twins stared at where she went; they looked at each other and shrugged, not putting on their mind; they knew what she more or likely wanted.

He Xiu's eyes were firm as she walked through a series of paths towards an underground pathway as she pondered to herself, 'I can't stay at my current level; I must also grow stronger.'

She descended the path with her thoughts firm, vanishing into the dark and dim light passages towards the entire enclave's most private sector.

At the depths of the Weavers Enclave, far unlike its upper surface, was a grim room of stone walls and a myriad of cages with sinister-looking tools.

The air here had a ruthless flavor as if one listened intently; they would hear a few moans and cries from different rooms. In fact, one room was even louder than the others as a persons' pitiful cry sounded everywhere.

"Ahhhh!" The familiar voice shouted until it was hoarse, clearly experiencing unbearable pain. Still, despite his suffering, the words spoken next by the voice were worthy of praise.

"I will tell you nothing. Do you think that by capturing us, you can change anything? Huhu... He Wuhan, no matter what you do? You will never be able to change the result. The south will ultimately fall into the masters—ahhhhh!"

The voice wanted to mock more, but the sound started to scream in pain again as if the torture only grew more vicious. After a long while of scary sounds, the voice died out before a stone door opened and sealed, followed by calm and gentle footsteps.
