Before long, the Falling Cloud Valley Sect Master, Bai Qingwu, hurried over with a group of elders. Upon seeing the young man outside the mountain gate, he quickly went up to greet him:

"So it's the Dao Child from the Heavenly Extreme Sacred Land gracing us with his presence. Forgive me, Bai, for not welcoming you from afar."

The young man cast a sidelong glance at the crowd, his face full of arrogance.

"Sect Master Bai, during my travels down the mountain, every sect I passed treated me with utmost respect and enthusiasm, yet your Falling Cloud Valley ignored me."
