Haofeng stepped into the main hall of the Yunlan Sect. Though travel-worn, he could not conceal his extraordinary and refined demeanor. His arrival brought a renewed sense of vitality and anticipation to the otherwise solemn hall. Chen Yuxuan followed closely behind, her eyes shimmering with pride and tenderness toward Haofeng, yet maintaining a gentle and proper composure.
Yun Yixuan was the first to step forward to greet them with a beaming smile, his eyes filled with admiration. "Little friend Haofeng, truly, after three days apart, one must look at you with new eyes. In just a few short years, your cultivation has transcended the mortal realm. Even an old bones like me feels ashamed by comparison."
Haofeng smiled modestly and returned the salute with folded fists. "You flatter me too much, Sect Master Yun. Haofeng has merely stumbled upon some fortuitous encounters to achieve this progress. My coming here today is actually because the war in Xizhou is in a critical state, and the Demon race is growing restless. As cultivators, it is our duty to step forward and protect the common people."
