Chapter 447 Familiar Faces
Wu Long and the group arrived in the Eversnowing Valley three days after. Although they traveled a lot slower than Wu Long and his women would alone, it was still much faster than most people as they used a movement formation and a better movement technique called the Five-Colored Steps.
Wu Long always made sure to control what level of techniques he gave out to the people around, and differentiate between levels of trust and reliability.
His women of course always got the best techniques that fit their current level of comprehension and cultivation bases, with the rest receiving less valuable skills and techniques in proportion to their relation to him.
As they arrived they were greeted by the Sect Protectors of the Frozen Garden Palace, and escorted inside the sect much like last time.
However, unlike the rather quiet and secluded atmosphere the sect had before, what they saw was a sect bustling with people, wearing robes of various sects.
Much like they were invited by the Frozen Garden Palace, other Five Great Sects invited their guests as well, creating a somewhat festive atmosphere with many outsiders gathering and walking the alleyways of the sect.
But the mood was a little tense since almost everyone viewed others as competition, and since the ones who were invited to this event were the younger generation's most prominent representatives of each sect the mere presence in each other's eyes was a challenge to the others.
Wu Long ignored the gazes that instantly were attracted to him, mostly from the elders of the various sects who were accompanying and guiding their disciples here, keeping them at bay.
Their gazes then moved to join the ones from their disciples whose eyes were glued to Hua Ziyan in the Prime Disciple robes from the start.
"Is it them?"
"Yeah, that's them"
"Heh, they didn't even send a single elder with them, how arrogant and rude"
"Hahaha, what did you expect from such a vulgar sect?"
"And here we are sending out Grand Elders for this event. Do they think it is a casual gathering or something?"
"Maybe they don't have Elders anymore? Didn't you hear about the internal conflict in their sect?"
"Oh my! That must be it, haha"
"So they lost all their Sect Protectors as well? They just sent out the disciples on their own..."
"Hah! I would just withdraw from participating to avoid shaming myself in their place..."
"..."
Murmurs could be heard from all around as people were discussing the newcomers.
The Grand Elder of the hosting Frozen Garden Palace greeting a delegation was a treatment and show of respect usually only reserved for the other members of the Five Great Sects, Xue Bing coming out to greet them first was something even the other Five Great Sects did not have the honor of.
"My apologies for not greeting you earlier, I have been caught up on my way"
Wen Mei spoke visibly agitated from hurrying over.
Xue Bing's eyes that looked straight into Wu Long's were full of thoughts as he cupped his hands as well, followed by Hua Ziyan and the other disciples.
"Greetings Prime Disciple Xue, Grand Elder Wen, allow us to express gratitude for the warm welcome"
"Please follow me, the Sect Master awaits you in the Main Hall"
Grand Elder Wen smiled, dropping words that sent a wave of emotions through the crowd as even the Sect Master of the Frozen Garden Palace seemed to take notice of the group.
As they nodded and followed the two women, Wu Long's sharp senses picked up the voices of a few wiser elders who were silent earlier cautioning their disciples with the words "See that young man in front? Never cross him, the sect will not back you against him and no amount of luck will save you if you get on his bad side".
While they passed through the passageways of the sect, they experienced a familiar feeling of being watched with curious gazes, now not only by the disciples of the Frozen Garden Palace, but by people clad in different robes as well.
Arriving in the Main Hall, Wu Long noticed a few familiar faces on the sides of the room as it seemed that there was a meeting of guests who arrived a little earlier than Wu Long and his group.
"Greetings, Sect Master Qiu"
Wu Long cupped his hands and greeted the host of the event first, while Qiu Yilao he addressed raised her eyebrow.
"Greetings, friends from the Yin Yang Unity Palace..."
"Haha, please excuse our Palace Master for not appearing in person, but for the duration of this event I have received the Sect Master token so I can represent her in official capacity"
As he noticed a light surprise on Qiu Yilao's face as well as frowns of other Grand Elders, he lightly laughed with understanding, producing a palm-sized jade token with the Sect Insignia and the words Palace Master inscribed on it.
Seeing the token, the Sect Master of the Frozen Garden Palace and the Grand Elders visibly relaxed, as they were given the bare minimum respect to not be considered shamed in their own halls.
"It has been a while, Elder Jue"
He then turned to the familiar face of an elder from the Profound Music Palace standing next to a Grand Elder of his sect, who slightly awkwardly smiled back with a nod while another familiar face which was not far from him and was pale from the moment Wu Long showed up twitched from his gaze being even remotely close to him.
'Hmm, well isn't this a sight to behold... Grand Elder Fu from the mighty Cloud Piercing Sect seems afraid...'
Qiu Yilao's eyes narrowed at the sight of the usually arrogant and pompous man suddenly becoming quiet and trying to blend in with the people around.
