At the southern gate of Xuan City, the members of the Pill Alliance, lead by Elder Chen Yongnian, and the Xuan Country royalty, headed by the Co-King, had been waiting for quite some time.
Given the status of Elder Chen and the Co-King, there were only a few people in the entire Xuan Country who could have them both coming out of the city to welcome in unison.
That's because this time, a Hall Master of the Pill Alliance would be coming.
A Hall Master is a person with real power in the upper echelons of the Pill Alliance. If the Pill Alliance is viewed as a large country, then a Hall Master is analogous to a high-ranking official vested with real power.
The arrival of a Hall Master in Xuan City is an extremely solemn occasion. The Xuan Country Royal Family had to show a gesture, so the Emperor of the Xuan Country sent the Co-King to represent him in greeting the Hall Master of the Pill Alliance.
