In the valley where Zither Sect was located, zither sounds hummed in the air.
Dozens of people with Lovely Land's emblem sewn on their chests stood at the entrance of the valley to guard it. Their faces were stern. They held their weapons and moved around.
Occasionally, someone would look up to look around the area outside the valley.

"It's been half a day."
Some of the people whispered to each other while they waited.
"Calm down, take it slow."
"How can we be calm? Our other members are already ahead of us. What are we supposed to do if our members are attacked ahead of time by those Wild Wolves?"
