Inside the room, even though the doors and windows were tightly shut and there were no lighting tools, the room was not dark, nor did it give off any feeling of oppression. Light from an unknown source brightly illuminated the room, and occasionally a gentle breeze blew through, allowing the air to flow naturally without feeling stuffy.
The Five Elders sat in the middle of the room. Except for Xun Zhong, the other four were slightly closed-eyed, as if they were thinking, or perhaps sleeping. Even though Xun Zhong didn't close his eyes, he wasn't walking around the room; instead, he sat beside the other four. His eyes showed no spark of light, as calm as an ordinary person's gaze.
