Chapter 280: Kingdom Banquet, Xiulote Sword Dance!

The Stone Hall of the Palace of Wind was rustic and solemn, its four walls adorned with ritual vessels passed down through the ages, the ceiling carved with ancient murals, and the Chief Divine's banners fluttering. The candles within the hall shone brightly, together with the central bonfire, reflecting off the joyous faces of all present, dispelling the deep darkness of the night outside.

Xiulote sat at the head of the banquet, surrounded by the bright light of the flames, just as he was by the people around him. According to the tradition of the Tribal Alliance, based on their different statuses, everyone took their seats in a roughly circular arrangement.
