Elder Dongmei returned to his throne, while Han Cai bowed to everyone present. The sect master was the first to speak, his voice heavy with sorrow. "Han Cai, have you heard? Two Earth Immortals attacked the Cui and Wang's family cities, destroying them and massacring the innocent."
Han Cai nodded solemnly, "Yes, Master, I have heard."
The sect master continued, "It was acceptable when the battle was between cultivators, but now, innocents are involved. Why are you doing this? Why did you make enemies of the Royals and everyone? Why bring suffering to everyone?"
Han Cai sighed and replied "Master, you know me well. Do you think I wanted this? You have seen me grow up and know that all I desire is to play the flute in my abode and enjoy peaceful days. I long for nothing more than a tranquil life. But as you know, I came across many opportunities and learned many truths. If I had a choice, I would never have left the sect and would have cultivated in peace. But to achieve that peaceful life, I need to do this."
Turning to the Cui and Wang family patriarchs, Han Cai said, "When we started this struggle, I misjudged the Starfall Sect. I thought that as this was a battle between cultivators, they would not harm the innocents and mortals. But I was wrong. My mistake cost many lives, and I am ashamed of it."
Han Cai turned back to the sect master and said, "I know I cannot make up for what has happened, Master, but I will end this struggle today."
After saying that, Han Cai left.

Situated in the southern region of Yin country, the Starfall Sect occupied a breathtaking location amidst verdant forests and majestic mountains that seemed to reach for the heavens themselves. This renowned sect, with its impressive size covering over 1,000 miles in length, proudly displayed its wealth and power through an array of awe-inspiring buildings and structures that adorned the landscape. The central hall, a grandiose palace skillfully crafted from white jade and decorated with a myriad of precious stones, stood tall and proud, representing the unyielding authority and influence of the sect.
An intricate network of buildings and residences surrounded the central hall, providing comfortable accommodation for the sect's diverse community of disciples, elders, and servants. As one explored the vast expanse of the Starfall Sect, they would discover numerous well-equipped training halls, expansive libraries filled with ancient knowledge, and dedicated pens housing a variety of spiritual beasts. Each of these facilities was designed to cater to the unique needs and requirements of the cultivators who called the sect their home. To guarantee the safety and well-being of everyone residing within its domain, the sect was fortified by an incredibly powerful array, engineered to withstand even the most devastating of attacks launched by a formidable Void Immortal.
As the sun began its descent towards the horizon, casting warm hues across the sky, the daily routines of the Starfall Sect's disciples and elders transitioned into their evening activities. Within the outer sect, dedicated disciples immersed themselves in diligent practice, honing their cultivation techniques with unwavering focus. Simultaneously, others dedicated their time to refining their weapons and concocting potent pills to aid in their cultivation journey.
As the evening unfolded, some disciples could be seen enjoying leisurely strolls around the sect's picturesque grounds, engaging in light-hearted conversations with friends and fellow cultivators.
In their role as mentors, the outer sect elders diligently supervised the progress of their disciples, offering invaluable guidance and wisdom to facilitate their growth and development.
The atmosphere of the Starfall sect buzzed with the hum of conversation as elders and disciples alike exchanged thoughts on sect affairs and imparted their knowledge to the eager younger generation, fostering a sense of camaraderie and collective growth.
In contrast, the inner sect disciples were deeply engrossed in more sophisticated cultivation practices, sharpening their skills and striving to master formidable techniques that set them apart from their peers. In their quest for enlightenment, they were often found poring over ancient texts, attempting to unravel the mysteries of the universe and deepen their understanding of the Dao – the underlying principle governing the cosmos.
Within the sect, the inner sect elders convened for crucial meetings, discussing strategies and formulating plans to counter the ongoing threat posed by the Sky Soaring Sect. In addition to their strategizing, these elders bore the responsibility of nurturing and mentoring the next generation of sect elders and leaders. Their guidance and support aimed to help these future leaders reach their full potential and prepare them to tackle the formidable challenges that lay ahead in their path.
The Core sect disciples, representing the most gifted and talented members of the Starfall Sect, secluded themselves in their private cultivation chambers. Their sole focus was to break through to higher realms of power, solidifying their place as the pride of the sect and the torchbearers of its enduring legacy.
Tasked with the smooth functioning and management of the sect's affairs, the Core sect elders dedicated themselves to a multitude of responsibilities. Among their duties was the refining of the sect's treasures and weapons, ensuring that the sect's arsenal remained stocked with the most potent and powerful items to face any challenge.
The palpable strain of the ongoing battle with the Sky Soaring Sect weighed heavily on the entire sect, with elders and disciples alike whispering about the potential conclusion of the conflict that very day. Their anticipation stemmed from the knowledge that their ancestor, an Earth Immortal, had personally left the sect to take action. This formidable figure was currently safeguarding the city that was expected to be attacked, based on intelligence provided by a diviner from Xuan country.
As twilight enveloped the horizon, casting shadows over the Starfall Sect, a figure materialized high above the vast expanse of the sect's grounds.
This handsome young man was none other than Han Cai himself.
His gaze swept over the sprawling sect below, taking in the magnificent architecture, serene gardens, and bustling training grounds that characterized the rival sect. For a fleeting moment, he permitted himself to appreciate the captivating beauty of the Starfall Sect, despite their enmity.
