After the representatives of the Hidden Sect painstakingly pleaded with Wu Yue, they finally ended the topic and returned to their respective sects to report the situation.
Wu Yue was relieved.
But the turmoil that ensued after these representatives of the Hidden Sect reported back was far from over.
...
In Zhen Tian Sect, within a pavilion atop a high mountain.
An elder in a white robe, hair gray with age, and a kind face was enjoying tea.
The elder didn't exude any oppressive aura.
But the subtle pressure that emanated from his very bones could instill fear in all nearby creatures.
The elder seemed oblivious to all this, fiddling with some tea tools, his movements smooth and graceful, bringing delight to those who watched.
This elder was Mo Cheng, the current Sect Master of Zhen Tian Sect and one of the top experts of the era.
Just as Mo Cheng was fiddling with the tea tools.
All of a sudden.
Mo Cheng paused, his delightful movements abruptly interrupted.
