The two arrived at the Sect's Council Hall, one walking behind the other.
Inside, the atmosphere was anything but ordinary.
Sect Leader He Yuzhou occupied the head seat, his expression serene, yet his gaze was far more profound than usual.
To his left and right, the deans of the four institutes—Peng Zhen, Chu Jinyun, Hong Yuandong, and Tan Yang—were all present, each sitting bolt upright with a solemn expression.
The Chief Disciples of each institute—Li Lei, Yan Yaoyang, Nie Shanshan, and Li Wang—had also arrived and were standing behind their respective Deans.
In addition, Shen Xiuyong and several of the Astral Force Elders stationed at the sect were also present.
In essence, the core leadership and the future hope of the Wutai Sect were almost all gathered here.
Li Baichuan sauntered in and gave He Yuzhou a casual, cupped-fist salute. He then walked over to an empty chair on the left, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.
