Peacock Lady and Third Elder used their Theríon to carry dozens of disciples across the sky and made their way toward the alchemy center.
Once they landed and stepped into the building's premises, they noticed the place to be unusually quiet. The only one there to greet them was Second Elder, Mei Hongyi.
Of course, both Peacock Lady and Third Elder had already been notified about the possibility of Mei Hongyi's collusion with the Sikong, so they stayed vigilant, especially at this time of crisis.
They initially wished to avoid the alchemy center, but it was the only place that had a lot of recovery pills and tools for treating the injured, so they had no choice but to seek shelter here.
Third Elder acted like he did not know anything: "Second Elder, do you still have the space in your alchemy center for these wounded disciples? We found them as we headed toward Peacock Pavilion, and they needed to be treated right away."
