The Flame Guard immediately presented their identification—an ardent red token akin to flames.
On the token, a vivid dragon seemed poised to spring forth and soar into the sky at any moment.
Though merely a token, it bore the majestic imperial might of the Great Yan Empress!
Such a thing could not be falsified.
"Hall Master Duanmu Hong of Cyan Mist Hall, greets the esteemed Flame Guard!"
Duanmu Hong's face was startled, the stirred Spiritual Power instantaneously subdued, and he promptly stepped forth to pay respects.
It's said that each Flame Guard is personally trained by the supreme Empress, akin to the extension of her will.
Even one who presides over the ten regions as a hall master dares not show the slightest disrespect.
"Per the Empress's command, I have come here with matters of importance to inquire!"
The Flame Guard spoke; perhaps due to wearing a mask or special handling, her voice sounded... peculiar.
"Please!"
