The rising sun climbed into the sky, painting the heavens with morning clouds.
Song Wen's figure passed through the rosy dawn, eventually landing atop a small hill a hundred li outside Scarlet Rainbow City.
Today was the agreed day to go to the Dual Extremes Sect and take delivery of the Cang Domain flying vessel. It was also the agreed day of departure.
The nine of them had agreed to gather on this small hill first, then head to the Dual Extremes Sect together.
As for why there were nine of them, it was because another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator had joined them several years ago.
The moment Song Wen landed on the summit, he saw two people already waiting there—a man and a woman, both Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators.
"My name is Yan He. Greetings, Fellow Daoist," the female cultivator took the initiative to say.
Although Song Wen had communicated with the other eight many times, this was their first meeting.
He clasped his hands and replied with a smile, "My name is Gou Jun."
The male cultivator then introduced himself as well, and the three chatted idly.
Before long, several more people arrived one after another. All of them were Nascent Soul Cultivators, and soon all six had gathered.
Among the six Nascent Soul Cultivators, Yan He was the only female cultivator.
Suddenly, two streaks of light raced in from different directions, one from the left and one from the right.
The man on the right was broad and powerfully built, with a face full of beard and an air of boldness between his brows.
The person on the left was entirely cloaked in black. Neither face nor figure could be seen; only from the general outline could they tell that she was likely a female cultivator.
