The news about the Dagger and Sword Sect had been spreading for two days, and eventually, it got out.
Regardless of the intention to gather information or to wage war, many factions sent representatives on the day of the Qingyang Grand Ceremony.
In the Qingyang Hall, there were two rows of seats arranged in a line. Shen Zhui sat in the high hall, silently waiting. On the other hand, Jin Yi was attending to the guests.
"Head of the Dragon Jump Sect, Long Jinggu has arrived!"
With the announcement came a monk in a Taoist robe with a mythical beast embroidered on it.
Shen Zhui extended his left hand in a welcoming gesture. Long Jinggu glanced at Shen Zhui, and without uttering a word, sat down on the left seat and closed his eyes to meditate.
"Head of the Hundred Sea Cult, Sun Baihai has arrived!"
No sooner had the voice dropped than a celestial-looking man in a white robe strode in.
"Greetings to Sect Master Fang!"
Sun Baihai made a bow and spoke respectfully.
