Inside the grand hall, the gathered cultivators were roughly divided into four groups. Although the four armies were supposed to cooperate, they still formed distinct clusters and there seemed to be some subtle standoffishness between them.
At the very front of the grand hall were twenty or thirty True Pill Realm cultivators dressed in the attire of servants. These were the Elders from various sects who were permanently stationed at Taitian Fortress. At the moment, their expressions seemed rather grave.
Liu Ming and Xiaowu walked silently into the ranks of the Taqing Sect and took up positions closer to the front, quietly waiting.
In the time that followed, more cultivators entered the grand hall one after another, and the number of people slowly reached around one thousand five hundred.
