Vultures(Part 2)

Tiandu Sect,

"Sect leader, trouble is brewing! We received some terrible news from the palace!" someone shouted as they rushed to go to the elders hall. 

This was where the sect master would probably be this time of the day. And yet, when this disciple of the sect arrived at the elder's hall, and went through the tall doors, he found that every single elder was already sitting there, talking to each other. 

Every single face was grim, and every single one of them seemed to already know the news which he came to deliver. 

"Go back. We heard the news. The Hong family has fallen, and the King has entered eternal rest." one of the elders at the end of the hall, farthest from the sect leader's seat, softly said. 

The disciple shook his head.
