The lords of the major sect families and powers all entered the grand hall of Jiu Hua Sect, while their attendants, along with the ordinary disciples of Jiu Hua Sect, took their seats outside.
In this great hall, the various Elders and stewards of the Jiu Hua Sect gathered; one might say all the experts of the Spirit Sea Realm and above from the entire Jiu Hua Sect were here.
At the foremost sat Xie Yuquan and the Second Elder, both donned in festive red robes for the occasion. Arranged on either side of them were rows of chairs and tables where the representatives from the attending powers settled down.
"First, I would like to express Jiu Hua Sect's gratitude to all friends who have gone to great lengths to join my daughter's wedding," Xie Yuquan said as he stood and addressed everyone present.
He rose and spoke directly to the crowd.
