Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Accompanied by the resounding drum music, the bell that welcomed guests tolled thirty-six times, its sound prolonged and solemn, imbued with an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.
Lu Tianqi's expression grew more and more astonished until, at last, after the thirty-six bell tones ceased, and a vast procession appeared before their eyes, she couldn't help but exclaim in a lost voice, "Thirty-six... that's the highest level of reception at Lingdong Mountain!"
Qin Shi, Dong Yu, and Huang Hui's faces revealed faint smiles, as if this was to be expected.
Chu Mo, on the other hand, didn't show much emotion, but he slightly raised an eyebrow. Although he wasn't too familiar with the Sect Leader of Lingdong Mountain, Qingzhouzi, from what he had observed of his behavior, he seemed... not so astute.
Could it really be that his own martial achievements had frightened him? Chu Mo shook his head in his heart, thinking not likely!
