Gate of Retribution

As soon as Cai Jie arrived and they finished their conversation, Hui Yue and his friends prepared to leave the sect.

They had planned to wait a few days until they left, but they found that the patriarch was leaving th e same evening. Therefore when they heard that he was going to leave, they decided to leave at the same time so that no one noticed them slipping out, as everyone would be watching the patriarch.

The patriarch was an elusive figure in the Celestial Sword Sect. He was rarely seen by the average sect member, yet recently they had seen him at the wedding, and now they were going to be able to see him again.

This was truly a rare opportunity, and thus the majority of the sect decided to get a glimpse of their reclusive patriarch. This made it easy for Hui Yue and the others to slip out in the opposite direction.
