In a grand palace enveloped by layers of grey mist on Mount Wanling, an empty hall lay deeply tucked away. A black-robed elder floated before a spirit disc that revealed silhouetted figures within it. He, too, was watching the happenings at Piaomiao Peak.
This elder wore a high crown of jade and three strands of long beard hung down to his chest. The aura he exuded was vast, clearly demonstrating his prowess as a powerhouse at the Celestial Phenomenon stage. He was the Grand Elder of the Taqing Sect, Wen Pavilion, ancestor to Wen An.
"Elder, with Wen Zeng having perfected the Plague Curse Technique and emerging from seclusion, he's now one of the stronger disciples at the Inner door. Dealing with Liu Ming should be effortless, so why watch personally?" Standing respectfully at the lower head of the black-robed elder was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple brocade robe adorned with a python pattern.
