Later the same day, the people Wu Long waited for arrived. They were wearing robes with an insignia they were all familiar with since they saw it on Gong Cui's clothes.
"So... the guides are..."
"Yes, the Profound Music Palace"
Wu Long nodded as he expected as much. The Profound Music Palace was also in the Eastern Forest Province, and were considered the masters of the Spiritual Land there. All Five Great Sects Occupied powerful Spiritual Lands, though the Profound Music Palace occupied the second most powerful one.
There was a long history between the Wood Spirit Empire and the Profound Music Palace, spanning thousands of years since the establishment of both, which Wu Long attributed to the same Spiritual Land and the entity within.
The people who came to guide them were an elder and a dozen Sect Protectors, who were untalkative and mostly void of emotions. It did not bother Wu Long or his group since they got along just fine without interacting with the guides.
