"Fellow Daoists, it's about time. Those who have not arrived on time will be considered to have forfeited the mission. I would like to thank everyone in advance for showing up as promised," Huan Shi courteously delivered some pleasantries.
"There's no need for formalities. We're not here to sightsee, so you really should get to the point and explain the details of this mission," a burly man, seated cross-legged on a giant stone, called out impatiently.
"Leave those formalities for the Sect disciples to enjoy. We Loose Cultivators don't have time for this nonsense! We're here for the Spirit Stones, so let's get down to business!"
"Yes! These Scatter Alliance activities are always so secretive, and we still don't know what we're supposed to do even as we're about to set out!"
As the burly man spoke, others quickly echoed his sentiments.
