A sword rested on his right waist, its blade concealed within a black scabbard. But what stood out the most was its teal hilt.
This was no mere decoration.
It was a symbol.
In the Drifting Sword Sect, the hilt wrap of one's sword signified their rank within the sect:
Brown Wrap - Outer Disciples
Green Wrap - Inner Disciples
Dark Green Wrap - Core Disciples
Silver Wrap - Elders
Teal Wrap - Pillar Elders
White Wrap - Vice Sect Master
Black Wrap - Sect Master
This man's teal hilt meant only one thing - he was a Pillar Elder of the Drifting Sword Sect!
This was Elder Tang Sheng, one of the sect's Four Pillars, known as the Pillar of Flow.
He was the master of Lin Yijun.
A cultivator at the 8th Stage of Heavenly King Realm.
A woman stood beside Hua Feixue and Yue Xueyan, wearing the same uniform as them. Her mature, beautiful eyes carried a depth that seemed to hold countless secrets, but the rest of her face was hidden behind a delicate white veil.
