The disciples of the Phoenix Feather Sect jumped off the tall horses and started walking behind Elder Rita. This time she didn't force them to run, as she wanted them to look as respectable as possible for the first impression. Showing up to a meeting running wouldn't garner much respect.
In a few minutes of walking quickly, the group arrived in front of the airship, seeing onboard a young man with long black hair tied behind his head with a few people following his orders.
When they arrived at the foot of the airship, the man jumped off the deck and descended gracefully to the ground.
"I'm Elder Rita of the Phoenix Feather Sect. Pleased to meet you."
Rita cupped her fist and bowed slightly to show respect to the man. She felt he was a seventh-stage cultivator himself, so she greeted him first as he had a higher status as a member of a more powerful sect. His young look was only for show and didn't represent his real age.
