The Yekan Gang had crumbled.
To be fair, the Yekan Gang was no pushover. Setting aside their lesser members, their three leaders—all at the Foundation Establishment stage—formed a formidable unit: a Wind-attuned Spirit Root specialist for armor-piercing offense, a support cultivator focused on buffing spells, and a versatile rogue with a unique shadow art, capable of both stealthy backstabbing and explosive crowd control.
