A moment later, several figures stepped out from behind the archway.
At the front was City Lord Bai Xueqin, her calm yet commanding presence instantly drawing every gaze. Walking beside her was Guan Long, the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, his expression as unreadable as ever.
Trailing behind the two leaders were three younger cultivators, two men and one woman.
Li Yun immediately recognized one of them: Han Yun, the nephew of City Lord Bai Xueqin. Han Yun's father, Bai Xueqin's younger brother, had married into the influential Han family of Moon Gaze City, the capital of Moonriver County. Because of this, Han Yun carried his mother's surname instead of his father's.
