「Inner Palace of Yun State!」
An old woman with white hair stood in the square outside the Elixir Fire Palace, her gaze as cold as water as she stared into the void before her. She was the Yun State Lord. Behind her stood more than a dozen people. Among them were the Martial Palace Hall Master, the Chief Hall Master, and the Xia Family's old ancestor, Xia Changfeng. In short, everyone standing here was a top powerhouse of Yun State. But without exception, all their faces were grim.
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, the Elixir Palace Hall Master appeared out of thin air. Upon seeing the Yun State Lord and the others, his heart tightened. He landed calmly in the square, bowed, and said, "Greetings, State Lord. Greetings, Chief Hall Master."
The State Lord withdrew her gaze, looked at the Elixir Palace Hall Master, and said, "So, you finally decided to return. Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you here?"
"Why were you waiting for me?" the Elixir Palace Hall Master asked, puzzled.
