Several young figures in crimson robes stood atop a hill more than ten kilometers away, gazing into the distance at the plain covered in green vines. The Xiao Family's unique Imperial Flame Clan Crest was embroidered on their robes—a blazing crimson-gold flame that stood out vividly beneath the dim sky.
