On the southern ridge of Veins Peak Island stood a secluded three-story pagoda, surrounded by layers of powerful high-level arrays.
These Arrays pulsed with defensive energy, each one laced with detection, repulsion, and elemental traps—more than enough to repel most Master-level cultivators.
Additionally, a handful of Master-ranked guards patrolled the area, each one radiating fierce auras. This was not a place one could casually stroll into.
Yet when Tyler and his crew approached —disguised once again in their notorious pirate personas— the guards didn't make a move. Instead, they bowed slightly in acknowledgment and stepped aside.
This pagoda wasn't just a fortified stronghold; it was the place where Gunn Calway, one of the island's revered guardians, had remained in seclusion for years, striving to break through to the Immortal Realm.
