Celestial Blessing Square, Central Plaza.
Sun Yong walked at the very front, his steps steady. His dark blue martial arts attire gleamed softly in the sunlight.
Behind him followed Yang Jing, Xu Hong, Qi Yun, and Zhao Wenzheng. Further back were Zhang Han, Luo Yun, Song Kang, and other Mingjin Disciples. The group's imposing presence turned heads in the surrounding crowd.
The other disciples from the Martial Arts Hall who had come along dispersed at the edge of the plaza. Some found high stone steps to stand on, while others pushed their way to the front of the crowd. Every one of them looked both nervous and excited, their eyes fixed on the backs of their master and senior brothers.
"Hall Master Sun, I've heard much about you!"
"Master Sun, you look to be in high spirits today!"
