Apart from the neighboring Anhe Daoist Sect, the first Daoist lineage to come and congratulate the Sword Sect was quite surprising: Overseas South Heavenly Gate, Ying Platform.
When Xiang Anshi and Hou Niao met, they were particularly nostalgic. The two had known each other in the Mirage, traveled together, and were considered good friends. Yet, since then, their paths had diverged, and they hadn't seen each other for seventy years.
But the friendship remained.
After catching up on old times, Hou Niao smiled and asked, "Why did you come so early?"
The journey from overseas is far, and the maritime environment is unpredictable. It was normal for people from Ying Platform to come a few days early, but arriving twenty days in advance was unusual and did not conform to cultivators' strict timing.
