"Esteemed sect masters, venerable elders, and fellow cultivators from across our sacred continent," Xun Xie'er began, her voice carrying an innate dignity that naturally commanded respect. "On behalf of the White Dragon Sect, the Chen Clan, and my lord husband, the White Dragon Emperor Chen Feng, I welcome you all to the grand opening of the Celestial Dragon Vault."
