CC: Chapter 97: Flame Sect
It had taken months of travel, but I was at one of the cities the Flame Sect controlled. Fu Shirong was next to me looking about as well. Thankfully I had been able to charter a carriage to make the trip from a coastal city to this one.
I looked up at the building that represented the Flame Sects control and administration of the city. Ten stories tall, far taller than the other nearby buildings. I didn’t sense anyone with energy. An attendant immediately came over.
“I am Cultivator Yuan Zhou of the Heavenly Alliance and I have come for directions to the Flame Sect to speak with the Sect Master,” I imperiously declared. The attendant got a lot more nervous at that.
“And what stage of cultivation are you?”
“Above the Nascent Soul stage,” I replied calmly while the attendant’s eyes went even wider than their already wide natural state. “How long until someone can come speak with me, or I can head to the Flame Sect directly.”
“Esteemed cultivator, allow me to send word. The Flame Sect will immediately dispatch someone to the city to meet with you.”
“And how long will this take? While I don’t mind waiting a few days, anything longer and I will be quite annoyed,” I replied.
“I will stress urgency, but I cannot say for certain. At least three days, at most seven esteemed cultivator,” the attendant replied.
“Annoying. I will wait then.” I went over to where there were some chairs against the wall and sat down. “You can go find a room and do whatever,” I waved off Fu Shirong.
