As the hidden disciples returned and news that the Flame Valley master and his disciples were soon to visit spread, the mountain gate of the Five Elements Sect, after a brief bustle, returned to its former quiet order.

They were people from Flame Valley, a faction closely tied to the Five Elements Sect.
The flowing lights fell to the ground, revealing two figures. One was dressed in a long crimson robe, his face dignified, his brows carrying a fierce, blazing majesty. It was none other than Tang Zhen, the master of Flame Valley.
Beside him was a young woman in a fiery red martial outfit, bright-eyed and white-toothed, her spirited gaze lively and flying. It was his daughter, Tang Huo'er.
After several years, the young girl of the past had grown into a graceful beauty. Moreover, under the legacy of Flame Valley's supreme technique, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire Art, her cultivation had also broken through the Spirit Sect realm not long ago and stepped into the level of a Star Dou Venerable.
"Flame Valley Master Tang Zhen and Miss Huo'er have arrived!" The disciples on duty did not dare delay and immediately reported in a loud voice.

"Valley Master Tang, Miss Huo'er, welcome. Forgive us for not greeting you sooner!" Ya Fei said with a smile, her manner elegant and poised.
