Qiandu.
In the midst of a bustling street, there was a shop adorned with a blood-colored 'sabre' banner.
Clad in blood-red garments, a man stood at the entrance of the shop, his gaze shifting through the throngs of passersby before turning back to look at the people inside the store.
Several people were seated within the shop, clothed in the same color, though not in uniform attire. They wore coarse linen dyed in the hue of dried blood.
As he looked towards them, the rest deliberately turned away, refusing to meet his gaze.
"I am Big Senior Brother," the man said.
"Big Senior Brother, you are most qualified to recruit disciples. We are not up to the task," someone replied.
"Yes, Big Senior Brother, not only are you our Big Senior Brother, but also the Sect Leader of the Blood Saber Hall. It's only natural for you to personally handle the recruitment," another chimed in.
"Exactly, the Blood Saber Hall is indeed under your control."
