Deep within the uninhabited mountains of the Crimson Snow Sect's territory, inside a hidden mountain grotto, a certain secret chamber witnessed its second meeting within the span of a week.
Just like before, Elder Shen took the lead, presiding over the meeting confidently.
The number of attendants was higher this time, so much so that many Elders couldn't find an empty seat. At the back of the chamber, many stood in clusters, their nervousness evident despite the masks, hoods, and long cloaks they'd donned before coming here.
When Elder Shen's victory speech began, they all listened intently, contemplating whether it would be worth it to jump on the bandwagon heading towards the insurrection against Sect Master Xuan Zi.
"I see many newcomers today. Since you've managed to find this place, you surely know a thing or two about what happened a day ago, during the public duel. I'll keep things simple and give you all a summary of our achievements so far."
