Grand Elder Rey - Part 2

"Sect Master, I shall take my leave now." Grand Elder Rey said after turning towards an old-looking man with a hunched back, but no one dared to disrespect him.

He was the Sect Master of the Riverland Mountain Sect, Aldrian. 

"Grand Elder Rey, don't feel down. Your disciples should be safe and sound. If you want, I can send a few Inner Sect Disciples and an Inner Sect Elder to search for them. Don't let it bother you and concentrate on stabilizing your cultivation realm as soon as possible." The Sect Master said kindly. It was of paramount importance that Elder Rey could stabilize his cultivation and position as soon as possible since the enemy sects might come to their door and ask the new Grand Elder to have a spar with them individually.

No one knew who or when it started, but it had become a tradition of sorts between all the Sects of the Belmont Subcontinent.
