Moments later!
Weng~
The fog that surrounded the valley split to either side, leaving a narrow path just wide enough for several people to pass through.
Six little old men with splendid feathers walked briskly out of the valley, then fell to one knee in neat unison.
"We, the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, pay our respects to Sir!"
"Chieftain!"
"Chieftain!"
Standing beside Xuanqing, Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning shouted towards the old man kneeling in the middle, their chieftain and also the chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan.
The reason the six little old men were now kneeling on one knee to welcome him, was because Xuan Ning had used a secret method to inform the chieftain, who was also the chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird, before their return.
"Hmm, please rise!"
Xuanqing gestured with his hand for everyone to get up.
His gaze primarily on the old man in the middle, he was surprised to find he could not sense the slightest depth to the man's cultivation.
Clearly.
