The Imperial Palace's grand hall brimmed with martial world elites. Called by the Emperor, the Clan Alliance Summit brought the Eight Great Clans together to evaluate Li Shen and his Viper Clan. Tension filled the air as each leader vied for dominance through subtle words and gestures.
The Emperor watched sternly from his position as clan representatives sat in ranked circles. Li Shen, the new Viper King, maintained a composed yet authoritative presence, flanked by his vassals.
As the summit began, each clan rose to introduce themselves, their names and reputations echoing through the hall.
Xiang Hu rose from his seat, his imposing figure drawing all eyes in the hall. The Talon General's ruby spear gleamed at his side, its presence alone emanates respect. Behind him stood the Silver Talon, the mysterious warrior's silver mask reflecting the light from the palace lanterns.
