A man in a wooden mask arrived at the gates of the temporary dwelling of the Ember Palm Pavilion, or rather the local small Sect that the Ember Palm Pavilion took over in all but name.
He was immediately escorted to the central palace of the Sect, where the Inner Court Elder and two Elders he met earlier greeted him, the former sitting in the Sect Master's chair, and the latter standing to his sides.
"Tsk, we already started thinking you weren't going to show up!", the Inner Court Elder of the Ember Palm Pavilion spoke in frustration, a bit of hostility in his voice.
The Talisman Master started silently establishing the long-distance communication array, at the same time with an isolating formation that kept their meeting private, even though this hall already had such measures.
