One thousand hall battle palace

For every seven rank 2 organizations that would come, a rank 1 organization would appear. With the constant arrival of top-tier organizations, the reverence mixed with trepidation that most of the guests had earlier seemed to have waned a bit.

Among the incoming organizations, Yang Qing managed to spot members of the Golden Bamboo Pavillion. Among their representatives, he managed to spot a man who seemed to be in his late thirties but had eyes that seemed to have seen the history of an entire epoch. He had long flowing gold sky hair and impeccable looks to match. He bore a faint resemblance to the young palace realm expert Yang Qing had thrashed in Purple City. 

Walking beside him was a middle-aged man with a regal bearing on him. He had red-orange hair and a black robe that dark orange cloud patterns. Yang Qing guessed that that was the current emperor of the Red Maple Empire, Duan Han.
