Around that time, bright beams rose from each of the four mountain peaks into the sky, then fired towards the trial site.
From Lesser Marsh Peak came a tall middle-aged man, exuding a Blood Qi that rippled and distorted everything around him. A faint image of a hand, resembling the Blood Stream Sect's hand, could be seen behind him. Most shocking of all, the skin on the man's right hand was covered with what seemed like faint cracks and fissures. This man was the Great Elder of the small peak.
The Great Elder from the Nameless Peak was a dwarf with short hair and a scarred face. He stood in what appeared to be a dark cloud, but it was actually a vicious Stone Statue Ghost emitting shocking pressure.
