A month quickly passed and young Ruth had finally arrived back in the Flaming Empire.
She rode on her eagle, soaring through the sky and towards the entrance to the Gray Clouds Sect, located in a place next to Clouds City. The sect was a massive place resembling a large neighborhood surrounded by trees and several different fields.
The headquarters of the Gray Clouds Sect occupied a substantial piece of land, which was at least six times the size of the current Dry City. However, that just included the main buildings of the sect, where most of the low-ranking disciples and elders lived.
Further away from the sect, there were also some small villages with high-end houses and mansions. These were the exclusive places where the strongest people within the sect lived, including some of the central disciples like Ruth who had the opportunity to live.
