Around the square, eight stone pillars stood tall.
The stone pillars were covered with lush green vines, with strange trumpet-shaped flowers growing on them. Clear chimes resounded from these flowers.
At the summit of a mountain opposite the square, there were sixteen flower chairs made from petals. Every chair except the one in the center was occupied.
These fifteen individuals were Elders of the Joyful Union Sect.
Unlike Elders from other sects, the Elders of the Joyful Union Sect comprised of handsome men and graceful women, regardless of their age, even if they were thousands of years old, they dressed like brides awaiting marriage.
"We welcome everyone to our Joyful Union Sect. I express my greetings."
Suddenly, a gentle voice echoed in the void, followed by a thick fragrance spilling out from it.
