Chapter 392 Book 7 A Mantis Stalking
Li An walked out of her quarters carrying a small bag on her shoulder. It was a pretense as she did not want to divulge that she had a dimensional pouch or a bag.
She met Ashty and the White Lotus Valley contingent at the main gate. Elder Galeena stood at the front, flanked by five other disciples selected for the tournament, each a notable talent in their own right. The air was charged with nervous energy and pride.
Elder Veda was also there and a couple more elders were standing beside them.
"Disciples, gather!" Elder Galeena called out, her voice carrying an edge of severity. The ten selected disciples formed a semi-circle.
"We are the White Lotus Valley. We are the healers, the quiet strength that mends bones and restores chi. The other sects are wolves and falcons, but we are the soil and the water that sustains life. Do not forget that. However, that does not mean that we are weak. Show them our true strength."
