The gaze of a thousand people simultaneously fell upon Mu Qingge.
Yet, she seemed utterly oblivious, walking forward along the empty path in the middle. Xuan Ya had already retreated behind her, flanking her alongside Mo Yang.
The ten Dragon Tooth Guards that Mo Yang brought followed behind them. The last six stood on either side at the entrance of the hall, dignified and imposing.
The remaining four accompanied Mu Qingge to the forefront of the grand hall. Mu Qingge ascended the steps; nine steps representing the status of the Nine Heavens. Above those nine steps was placed a meticulously carved, exceedingly comfortable and luxurious chair.
Standing atop the steps, Mu Qingge was flanked below by Mo Yang and Xuan Ya, while the four Dragon Tooth Guards aligned side by side beneath the steps, exuding power and majesty.
Inside the grand hall, a thousand stood divided to the left and right.
And at the forefront on each side stood the High Priest and Xu Xiu.
