Two days later.
As the towering gates of the Gu Clan finally appeared, and the disciples looked as though they had returned from hell itself.
Meanwhile, looking at Gu Chen return, the guards quickly opened the gates, and the news spread through the clan like wildfire.
"Young Master Chen has returned!"
"The expedition is back!"
"The tribute has arrived!"
Servants hurried through the courtyards screaming and notifying everyone.
As Gu Chen and company walked through the clan courtyard, many looked at Gu Chen with admiration while others noticed the unusually small number of survivors.
Questions began spreading.
At the same time, the massive Grand Hall of the Gu Clan was brightly lit with hundreds of floating spiritual lanterns, as the scent of calming sandalwood incense drifted through the air.
