In the heart of the Casting Cloud Sect, atop Unnamed Peak.
Li Ping'an, not wanting to disturb his master, simply arranged a few chairs in front of the cave dwelling and invited the four senior brothers to take a seat.
A civil war had erupted within the Wanyun Sect ten thousand years ago, affecting these four elders and old ladies;
Those Heavenly Immortals who had connections with Demon Cultivators and attempted to seize control of the Wanyun Sect were tearfully executed by Daoist Kongming. These four were implicated, but without any direct connection to the Demon Cultivators, they were thus exiled by Daoist Kongming to the lands beyond the heavens.
Their exile spanned ten thousand years.
All four had been as close as brothers with the Golden Immortal Yun Ting, who had always been pleading on their behalf.
Initially, Li Ping'an was concerned that the return of these four to the Wanyun Sect might affect his own father.
