"Ah~, Commander Chen, it is a nice day, isn't it?", an Inner Court Elder of the Northern Ridge Sect spoke turning to the side, to look at the blue, almost cloudless sky seen amid the columns of the long terrace-like roofed corridor leading to the entrance of one of the palace gardens, a light smile on his lips`.
He spotted the Armor of the Imperial Guard Commander followed by ten Imperial Guards, appearing from the distant doors of the Imperial Palace annex and swiftly traversing the corridor toward him.
Next to him stood an Inner Court Elder of the Pale River Hall, both Elders accompanied by two Disciples of their Sects.
Not far from them, on the opposite side of the garden entrance stood a General of the Imperial Guard of Tuyin Dynasty with six Imperial Guards he led for the prince's protection.
