With a low sound, a black light landed on the square. Everyone turned their attention to the newcomer.
He was an elder in an elegant black robe. He had a mysterious aura. No one present could see through his real cultivation base.
Austin speculated that the elder was as strong as Elder Brendan.
"This is Elder Damian. Elder Damian and I will be in charge of this mission.
We'll wait outside the Wild Herb Valley.
After a month, we'll bring you back," Steward Nolan explained as he introduced the elder who just arrived.
"Elder Damian," over fifty disciples greeted.
Most of them bowed their heads a little to show respect to the elder.
There were three elders in the base of the Flame Holy Land: Elder Brendan, Elder Leder, and Elder Damian.
"You're all brave kids. When the mission is over, we'll give you bountiful rewards.
But before we set out, I need to tell you something first.
You'll enter the Wild Herb Valley as the disciple of another sect, not the Flame Holy Land.
That sect is called the Shiny Sect.
So don't tell others you're from the Flame Holy Land. If people ask you, you tell them you're disciples of the Shiny Sect.
I guess you know why we've made such a decision. Many top sects in the East Mainland hate to see us rebuild our Flame Holy Land, the three holy lands in particular.
Once those disciples from those sects know you're from our sect, they might work together to attack you in the valley.
At least several thousand disciples of other sects will enter the Herb Valley this time, I guess.
If they find out about your identity, you'll be in grave trouble," Elder Damian said.
His voice lingered with a warning.
Upon hearing this, all the disciples including Austin got angry.
'These top sect leaders have gone too far!
We are the disciples of the Flame Holy Land, but we can't even tell others who we are when we go outside. What's more, we will have to pretend to be disciples from another sect.
Damn it!' the disciples thought furiously.
"Our sect is still expanding.
When our sect becomes stronger, you can tell others that you're from our sect proudly.
All right, that's it.
Let's go," Elder Damian tried to comfort the disciples.
With a wave of his hand, a beast's skeleton appeared out of nowhere. Its form was curved with mysterious symbols. The skeleton grew bigger until it was more than twenty meters long and a dozen meters wide. It then floated in the mid-air.
Elder Damian led everybody towards the skeleton.
"Swoosh!"
With the swift movement in the air, the beast's skeleton flew forward.
After a while, a beam of light came out from the huge tree located in the east of the village.
It was no other than the beast's skeleton.
The skeleton soared into the sky and left the area in an instant. It flew high above the small village.
Austin stood near the edge of the skeleton. He looked down at the small village which had faded away. 'No one would expect that a sect's base is in such a small village, ' he thought.
The beast's skeleton headed west. On the way, Austin could see the puffy clouds and distant mountains.
Since the skeleton was moving at an incredibly fast speed and there was nothing but endless mountains below him, Austin had no idea where they were going.
He even had no idea how many days had already passed.
One day, they felt the beast's skeleton slow down.
After a while, it landed on a spacious platform. It occupied a vast area with the ground made of indigo-colored stone.
Austin looked around and saw thousands of cultivators gathering on that platform.
