Just then—
"Hum..."
The grand doors of the Main Hall, standing ten zhang high, slowly opened inward.
An even more vast, more ethereal aura, seemingly as high as the heavens and earth, diffused from within the hall.
Everyone, whether Human Race Disciples or Yao Race cubs, subconsciously held their breath, their hearts pounding.
Under the gaze of countless eyes interlaced with awe, curiosity, expectation, and nervousness.
A figure of peerless elegance with snow-white silver hair, holding a small figure by the hand, slowly stepped out of the hall doors.
Today's Gu Han was still dressed in a moon-white long dress, upon which starlight faintly flowed, reflecting brilliantly with her frost-and-snow-like long hair.
Just by standing there quietly, she seemed to become the center of this world.
All light, Spiritual Qi, and even dao rhyme naturally converged toward her in submission.
A'Yao, whom she held by the hand, was also dressed exceptionally cutely today.
Her jet-black hair was tied into two small flower buds with pale pink ribbons, and she wore a little pink dress.
Her large eyes blinked curiously, taking in the crowd on the square and those strangely shaped "little companions."
She seemed a bit shy, her small hand tightly grasping Gu Han's index finger, half her body hidden behind Gu Han, only peeking out her little head.
Half a step behind Gu Han, two women with differing temperaments but equal beauty emerged side by side.
On the left was Yun Miaoyi, in a pale green long dress, her temperament gentle and calm, like fine jade that had settled through the years.
Her gaze softly swept over the new Disciples on the square, lingering for an extra moment on those nervous and uneasy children with a particularly soothing intent.
On the right was Butterfly Dance, her seven-colored rainbow garments shimmering with light, her face dreamily peerless, and the butterfly mark on her brow glowing with a faint light.
Her figure was graceful as she stepped barefoot onto the smooth white jade slabs, her steps silent, surrounded by a faint, intoxicating aura.
Those eyes, which contained ten thousand colors, lightly swept over the crowd, as if they could soothe all agitation and unease.
As the four appeared, the square became so silent that a dropped needle could be heard.
Whether it was Liu Ruyan, Gu Luoli, Xiao Ya, and others who had experienced the turmoil in Qingyang City and witnessed Yun Yun's methods.
Or the new Disciples who had just arrived and were shocked by the sight of the Immortal Palace.
Or even the Yao Race cubs just brought back by Ink Scale and Fu Shan, still carrying an untamed wildness.
At this moment, everyone's mind was firmly seized by that silver-haired figure!
It was a natural awe born from the absolute gap in the level of existence!
No words were needed, no pressure was required.
Just "existence" itself was enough to make everyone understand the identity of the person before them.
The Palace Master of the Yaochi Immortal Palace.
"Greetings, Palace Master!"
Yun Yun was the first to bow, her voice clear and resonant, breaking the breath-holding silence.
"Greetings, Master!"
Liu Ruyan and Gu Luoli followed closely behind, bowing deeply.
"Greetings, Palace Master!"
Ink Scale and Fu Shan, the two Yao King Elders, also bowed respectfully.
Their posture undoubtedly provided the clearest example for all the newcomers.
Thump! Thump!
On the square, over a hundred Human Race Disciples and twenty Yao Race Disciples subconsciously and with a bit of panic knelt down together.
"Di... Disciple pays respects to the Palace Master!"
"Greetings, Palace Master!"
The voices were somewhat uneven, but filled with excitement and piety.
The scene was quite spectacular for a moment.
Gu Han's gaze calmly swept over the entire field.
From Liu Ruyan and Gu Luoli, who had already entered the sect, to the new talents like Zhao Linger, Wang Zhaojun, and Xiao Ya.
