After exchanging a few pleasantries with Sect Leader Fu Xie, Wei Dongliu and Jiang Li An took their seats at the top.
Although most of the guests who arrived were great Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, it didn't seem inappropriate for Wei Dongliu, being a venerable Sect Leader himself, to sit in a place of honor.
Moreover, since Sect Leader Fu Xie had addressed him with such courtesy earlier, the guests could sense the importance that the Nether Ghost Path placed on Sect Leader Wei. Even those who harbored criticisms wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal them in public.
Sect Leader Fu Xie wanted to say something more to Wei Dongliu, but his eyes started to hurt more and more, to the point where he almost shed tears.
Assuming it was a backlash from his cultivation technique, he felt it inappropriate to take an elixir in front of all the guests, so he found an excuse to leave the main hall.
