Kyrian, after informing Feng Yuan that he was leaving on a mission, departed from the central pavilion in the sect's main area, where Feng Yuan remained.
The sun was already higher in the sky when Kyrian and Yanyu decided to set out. As they left the refuge and began descending the long, winding staircase, the reality of Kyrian's new status became undeniable.
When they reached the inner area, disciples passing by stopped and whispered. Some looks were heavy with envy, directed mostly at Yanyu.
But there was also curiosity and respect for Kyrian's talent.
His face, his features, once unknown, were now recognized by nearly every inner disciple.
The task pavilion was an imposing structure, at least twice the size of the Leaf Sword Pavilion.
Inside, a constant murmur of voices filled the air as dozens of inner disciples crowded before a large wooden board covered in scrolls.
