Dahlia wore flowing white robes decorated with icy blue patterns, her graceful figure walking steadily towards her designated seat.
The elders immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Dahlia nodded lightly before taking her seat at the highest position in the hall.
Lira quietly stood beside her.
Dahlia first looked toward the empty seat that once belonged to Grand Elder Huron.
Her expression softened slightly.
"Huron served the sect faithfully for many years," she said calmly. "His death is a loss to Eastern Limiya Gate."
The hall turned quiet. Many elders lowered their heads.
Even those who disliked Huron's harsh personality could not deny his contributions to the sect. Dahlia then looked toward Maera.
For the first time since entering the hall, a faint trace of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
"Congratulations once again on becoming a Core Formation Lord, Lord Maera. I am looking forward to your Dao Name ceremony."
