Alex arrived at another sect located at the Northsword's bend. The river took a left turn, and would take another right turn further down the way, before heading straight into the Core region of the desert.
This deep in, all sects that were located here and further were far too strong for him to win. In fact, there were times when he didn't even get to fight the strongest and would have to contend with just the second strongest.
There were only so many sects ahead of him before he had to move away from the river and head deeper into the desert.
The sect located here was called the Black Heart sect, and many of their disciples had come out to watch the fight that was going to take place very soon.
One of the elders of the sect strode forward, staring down at Alex.
"So you're the Evening Swordsman, huh?" he asked.
"I am called that among many others," Alex answered. The names continued piling up for him the longer he traveled through the desert.
