The rear mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect!
Yun Yun stood respectfully before a cave entrance and said softly, "Teacher, your disciple Yun Yun requests an audience!"
After a long while, a vast, majestic aura, as mighty as a dragon awakening from ancient times, flashed past. A sweep of soul power passed over the entire Misty Cloud Sect, followed by a calm voice.
"It's you, Yun'er! Come in!"
