Their arrival immediately caused a minor stir, with guests from all parties rising to greet them.
Unsurprisingly, they were seated at the most prestigious table, reserved for the guests of honor.
As noon approached, the guests had nearly all arrived. The vast courtyard was packed to the brim, buzzing with conversation.
Song Renyi surveyed the guests filling the hall, his heart swelling with pride.
His only slight regret was that while the major powers had shown their respect by attending, they had mostly sent junior disciples rather than any truly important figures.
However, Song Renyi wasn't discouraged. 'Once I get my hands on the Spiritual Object the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance promised me,' he thought, 'the one that will help me break through to the Profound Gang Realm, the Song Family will finally be able to cast off its Shackles and stand independent. At that point, even the Six Major Sects will have to treat the Song Family with respect.'
DONG! DONG! DONG!
