"Quick, go report it! Someone's challenging the sect!"
"You just wait!"
The two of them turned and scrambled back, rushing into the Inner Sect.
Lin Hui, dressed in a white Daoist robe and holding his sword in one hand, glanced at the passing crowd. He smiled and clasped his hands in a salute to everyone.
"My apologies for the disturbance," he announced. "The Black Dragon Sect once challenged my Qingfeng Temple. Now, I, Lin Hui, have been fortunate enough to make a breakthrough and have come to return the favor. I hope you will forgive any commotion."
The Black Dragon Sect's headquarters was situated right next to the main road leading to the town center. Carriages and horses passing by slowed down; some even pulled over to the side to watch the spectacle.
Other passersby watched from a distance. Those who knew a bit of the backstory even began sharing the history of the feud between Qingfeng Temple and the Black Dragon Sect.
