The urgency of the situation demanded immediate action. Thus Village Head Chen, accompanied by Qiao Wei and Bai Ling, set out for Mount Wu without delay.
Having not seen the man for a long time after leaving Dong Village, Bai Siyang was pleasantly surprised to welcome him to his Wushan Temple.
"Village Head Chen, it has been quite a while!" a smile erupted on the sect leader's face as he stood up, throwing his arms open wide in a heartfelt greeting.
"Indeed, indeed." Village Head Chen embraced Bai Siyang tightly, his eyes drinking in the opulent interior of the imposing temple. He could not help but feel a twinge of inadequacy when he found himself amidst so many accomplished cultivators, a feeling only amplified by the respect they showered upon him.
