On the first day of the Zephyr Academy's recruitment drive, the place was packed with people. The scorching sun hung high above their heads and the roiling heatwave caused the pampered young masters and young ladies to complain incessantly. Their bodies were drenched in sweat, but they had to endure the scorching heat in order to maintain their image. Many of the youths at the back of the queue were reluctant to leave as there was still some time left. They brought along a group of attendants, holding umbrellas and fanning themselves. Some had even prepared ice cubes in their horse carriages and brought along bottles of iced plum juice to ease the heat.
Although September was not the hottest month, the midday sun was still scorching hot enough to make people dizzy.
Some of the physically weak young ladies fainted from the heat and were carried into their carriages by their attendants to escape the heat.
The heatwave caused the restless crowd to quieten down. The youngsters, who were originally in the mood to talk loudly, were now blown away by the heatwave. They only cared about being fanned by their servants, so how could they still have the mood to chat and laugh with others?
In the midst of the scorching silence, a loud cry rang in everyone's ears.
The youths who had been so irritated by the heat turned to look in the direction of the cry. They saw a man dressed in white, with his hands clasped behind his back, standing under the shade of a large tree not far away. Opposite him, an agitated youth was covering his mouth. The cry of surprise had come from that youth's mouth.
The youths glanced at him and frowned impatiently. But what he said next, drew all their attention.
"Mu Chen! You are Elder Mu of the Qing Yun Clan right! Elder Mu, I've finally found you! I beg of you, please sell me another portion of that elixir from the last time. My brother's spiritual powers grew much faster after he took it! I beg of you! Sell me another portion! "The youth pleaded pleadingly at the white robed man.
The youths blinked, staring incredulously at the scene under the shade of the tree.
They did not know about other things, but the three words "Qing Yun Clan" pierced their ears like thunder!
Everyone knew that the Qing Yun Clan was the most powerful clan under the heavens, and the most powerful clan under the heavens had met with a major incident not too long ago! The Elder of the Cloud Treading Peak, Mu Chen, had suddenly announced the dissolution of the Qing Yun Clan. The Sovereign and the other Elders had already left, and he had stayed behind to announce the news before disappearing without a trace.
The most powerful clan had suddenly announced the dissolution of the Qing Yun Clan, and it had shaken the lands. Everyone was talking about it, and no one could understand the reason behind the Qing Yun Clan's decision.
The Qing Yun Clan's disappearance had caused many people to cry their eyes out in tears. The Qing Yun Clan was not only famous for their medical skills, but also for their highly sought after elixirs!
The youth had called the white robed man "Mu Chen"?
Wasn't this the name of the Cloud Treading Peak Elder who stayed behind to the end?
When they heard that the person might very well be an Elder of the Qing Yun Clan, everyone's ears perked up.
The Cloud Treading Peak focused on nourishing the meridians. There were not many people who had seen Mu Chen, and many of them did not really believe him. However, when they noticed the waist token hanging on the waist of the white-clothed man, this layer of suspicion disappeared in an instant!
The token with the word "Yun" engraved on it, was the symbol of the Qing Yun Clan?
Only Elders, Sect Leaders, and Inner Sect Disciples could use such tokens. Those Outer Sect Disciples couldn't even touch it.
The Elders and the Sovereign of the Qing Yun Clan seemed to have evaporated into thin air in a single night, and the only people who had been seen were the people from the Cloud Treading Peak!
