The Azure Cloud Sect's flying vessel pierced through the clouds and slowly landed on the Sect square. Disciples who had already received the news packed the square to the brim; voices were clamoring, and the atmosphere was as heated as a tide.
"They're back! They're back!"
"Senior Brother Ning! The champion of the Five Sect Martial Competition!"
"Azure Cloud Sect spreads its prestige across the West Province!"
The flying vessel's hatch opened, and the martial competition Disciples, led by Fang Hao, filed out. They were greeted by deafening cheers and countless admiring gazes.
Fang Hao walked at the very front, still in his green robes, his expression calm. However, the steady aura tempered by great battles that he carried was now completely different from before he had departed. Liang Ling and Lin Wan followed closely behind him, proud smiles on their faces. Bao Zhijian walked in the middle of the group, his expression complex, deliberately keeping his distance from Fang Hao.
