In a cave in Mount Taiyan, Jian Jinsheng sat cross-legged on a massive rock. His right hand gently caressed the longsword on his knee, a faint smile on his face.
Quietly below him, disciples from the Divine Flame Sect stood, their eyes filled with reverence as they gazed at Jian Jinsheng. His presence was rewriting the history of the Divine Flame Sect.
Such a figure carried far more weight in the eyes of the people than the sect's founding ancestor from years past.
Not far from Jian Jinsheng, a man dressed like a scholar held a book in his hands. He was reporting to Jian Jinsheng about the losses and gains of the Divine Flame Sect in this encounter.
The greatest gain, of course, was the slaying of Xin Zhiqing, a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. The remaining members of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect in the area were also left behind on Mount Taiyan.
