On the highest floor, three figures had, at some point, already taken their stand there.
The person on the left held a scroll in his hand, bearing the appearance of a scholar, his head crowned neatly, clothes and boots clean, with hair and beard already white. He surely had no cultivation level, but he seemed as though he ought to be conducting rites and preaching to a crowd of a hundred thousand.
"The Scholar of the Heavenly Principle Academy, one of the four great scholars of Confucianism, is indeed a figure looked up to by all within Confucianism," said Young Master Xuan Yi.
But it was the person on the right who first captivated Pei Ye's gaze.
That was a somewhat lean and tall man, certainly not young, but his specific age was indiscernible. Clad in a dark long garment, carrying a Mystic Sword on his back, his presence seemed to silence the area around the red building for a moment.
His face was hidden behind the mask of the Mystic Fox.
