Tongye Duke's Mansion.
The atmosphere is heavy.
Only the former Second Young Master, now known as the 'Pine Leaf Prefecture Venerable', Li Xuanzong, presides over the proceedings, surrounded by capable officials and skilled generals under Tongye Duke Li Shen Yao's command.
However,
Their expressions show no sign of relaxation, their faces tense and brimming with anticipation like before a looming storm.
Until, beneath the seating, a bearded elder clad in a Profound Gold Embroidered Tiger Robe, with a 'Prison Guard' emblem on his back, breaks his thoughtful contemplation and suddenly opens his eyes, shining and spirited, stating:
"Second Young Master, our 'Demon Hunting Department' Director, Great Demon Hunter Master, has agreed to visit the Tongye Duke's Mansion for a discussion."
His palm opens.
A Jade Pendant was faintly heating up and glowing.
Prompting the people in the hall to look at each other, suddenly relaxing in expression.
