Huangfu Yunhai
The current Grand Sect Master of the Han Ling Sect, the cultivation capital of the Chana Empire, Huangfu Yunhai possessed upper-tier strength and also served as the dean of the Arts Academy at the Dihua Ability Institute.
Aside from important meetings like this one, he was rarely at the Dihua Ability Institute. He was essentially a nominal dean, but he was also an important link connecting the Dihua Ability Institute with cultivators.
The strongest disciple of the Dihua Ability Institute today, the First Seat Sword Child—Ling Tian—was the chief disciple of the Han Ling Sect. He had obtained the status of a special joint-training disciple during the Second Stage of Transcendence and was permitted to train outside the institute.
The reason the First Seat, Ling Tian, had casually claimed only a Duke-level title was that Huangfu Yunhai was known throughout the world as the Sword God. In Ling Tian's view, until he surpassed his master, he had no right to receive such a resounding title.
Seated in a black leather chair, Huangfu Yunhai wore a long robe with pale-gold trim wrapped around his body. His hair, bound by a scholar's headscarf, was streaked with strands of silver. He was already 109 years old, yet looked only a little over fifty.
He wore a jade bracelet on his left wrist, and a plain, unadorned sword hung at his waist.
Huangfu Yunhai's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He scrutinized all the commissioners present, exchanged a nod with Dean Long, then finally settled his gaze on Fang Tianhe, who had revealed his true form for the first time. He felt a rare sense of pressure.
