Yang Dao did not know that the four have managed to get a hold of his position. He sat under the bamboo shed with his eyes closed and ignorant to the world. During this time of meditation, he was focused only on the inside of himself. The Dao resonance was sealed off to avoid being located by the familiars and thus a thin layer of dust had accumulated over his clothes.
His face, however, was clear as usual. The dust was the consequence of his seals. His eyelids flickered, but they did not open. The mountain top had become the center of the world. RALF spoke, "Master, four people are approaching."
Yang Dao did not react, as he was immersed in meditation. The four people also received the message the boy had left earlier.
...
On the cliff opposite to where Yang Dao sat, four people were gathered. Ryu Jinshi was slightly pale and held a crutch in his hands. Despite the heavenly blessing of healing, the man still had trouble walking on his own.
