Among them, the elder wearing a white kimono with a white scabbard at his waist, never parting from his sword, is named Jiushan Shunyu. He is a renowned master of Iaido Slash from Japan, wielding the famous sword Ghost Blade Country Ruler, reputed to unleash torrential rain when drawn and not stain clothing with blood when sheathed.
This person once sparred with the esteemed president of the Black Wood Society, known as the Blade of Japan, exchanging over a hundred moves without a decisive outcome.
Seated closely beside Jiushan Shunyu is an elder clad in gray coarse clothing, his face hard as iron, seldom smiling, yet his mere presence exerted considerable pressure on Yang Xiao.
This person's name is Houjisan Shuangjian, known for his reclusive nature, rarely seen in public. He likely came today under the insistence of the Family Head Jiushan Cangxuan.
