Several days later, three individuals were brought to a Daoist Palace, where six other disciples from Daoist Sects were also waiting.
No one interacted with each other, as the relationships among them were quite tense; the hostility between Wu Sect and Quanzhen Sect was evident, and Anhe Daoist stood awkwardly in between, unable to show goodwill towards any side without offending the other.
Moreover, it was hard to determine whether these two powerful entities were helping them or invading them. Even within the Anhe Daoist itself, similar disputes had never ceased.
Originally, all nine spots should have belonged to the Anhe cultivators, but now they had been evenly distributed, which itself was telling.
After everyone had arrived, the bystanders left, and a Daoist of Tongtian and Natural Realm entered, wearing a high crown and feather robe, his face cold and stern.
He did not talk much, neither admonishing nor encouraging anyone, as if he were performing a routine task.
