The bell rang. Everyone wore a solemn expression, waiting in strict array.
Outside the sect gates, the Nine Peaks' peak disciples stood high in the air with cold expressions.
Lin Yaoyao finally understood the situation: the Tianlong Sect had come to challenge them.
As for whether there was a deeper struggle at play, there undoubtedly was.
Otherwise, the Sect Master would not have opened the gates wide to welcome them, let alone sent out the Nine Peaks' peak disciples to greet them.
When people came to challenge your gates, and you responded by flinging the gates wide open to invite them in, you were either out of your mind or caught up in some power struggle.
As Lin Yaoyao was deep in thought, a dragon's roar echoed from the distance.
Looking up, she saw the phantom of a white dragon soaring amid the clouds. Atop the white dragon's phantom lay a massive spine, and the people of the Tianlong Sect were standing upon that very bone.
