The moment Kailen spoke, several individuals covertly lurking in the vicinity revealed themselves.
They all appeared from different directions.
Some of them stared at each other, stunned. It was clear they were not aware of each other's arrival here. Had Kailen Darkhaven not identified them, each of them would have hid in the shadows.
Across the Meridian Belt, this place was one of the safest places. Each of them thought they had lucked out by arriving here. Several of their comrades had died due to the attacks of either chaotic beasts, mysterious storms in the Meridian Belt, or attacks from other Transcendents.
Seeing this place didn't have any storms, roaming chaotic beasts, or participants laying in wait to kill them, made each one of them excited to have found this place. They could just lay low till the competition ended.
However, none of them expected that others would have found this place as well, lurking in the shadows.
