A moment after, the letter disintegrated into ashes.
He looked up at the ceiling and whispered to himself, "I see."
After pausing for a while to think, Hong Rongyan came back to his senses. He gave his cheek a light smack and transformed into a cold and aloof lady.
He opened the door and was immediately greeted with a loud burst of noise.
Walking out of the room, he found himself standing in front of a large plaza that was bustling with activity. The door behind him vanished in an instant.
Hong Rongyan frowned slightly. Since it had been built, the Grass Hall had never been this crowded before.
Amid the large number of people, two people who were chatting caught his attention.
"Any clues?"
"Nope, you?"
"None either. Is the Assembly of Patriarchs an assembly of rats? Just which hole have they disappeared into! My precious reward, oh!"
"Do you think they would have been capable of standing against Skyheart City if they were so easily found and taken down?"
"Let's search somewhere else. I don't think there's anything here in the Grass Hall. This place was constructed by the Assembly of Patriarchs—surely they wouldn't leave any clues behind?"
"That's not necessarily true. Look around, more and more people are piling in."
"That's true, but it's also because information spreads really easily."
"There're so many people around, yet the Assembly has done nothing. Furthermore, admission into the Grass Hall is open to all. If it were you, wouldn't you have sealed off the place long ago?"
"Maybe they don't care."
"There's another possibility."
"What's that?"
"The Assembly of Patriarchs has no way of sealing off the Grass Hall and preventing others from entering. Their control over the Grass Hall may not be as strong as we think."
"When you put it that way, perhaps…"
As Hong Rongyan turned to leave the Grass Hall, the discussion faded into the distance.

This was a strange room.
The walls, floor, and ceiling were the same drab gray. The room was completely bare, save for the door.
Inside the room, Hong Rongyan carefully read the letter in his hands.

Master Shao strolled down the street with his hands behind his back. A middle-aged man in white garb walked half a step behind, following his movements.
The buildings around the area were newly built.
With all the signs of construction lying in plain sight, it was not quite yet a city. It looked more like a huge construction site.
The entire area was well lit and bustling with activity despite it being deep into the night. Surrounding the city were mountains with peaks that pierced into the night sky. Master Shao noted that they had to be in the middle of some hidden valley. He looked around, trying to identify the mountain range that surrounded this city. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to find a match in his memory.
Master Shao asked, "What is the name of this place?"
The man following him promptly replied, "The Village of Rest."
The Village of Rest?
His interest piqued, Master Shao asked, "Is there a story behind its name?"
The man explained, "Our master commented that souls who come to this blessed land to rest would surely find eternal peace."
Master Shao chuckled. "That's nice."
Looking up, Master Shao saw that there was a thin layer, much like a water screen, blurring the night sky as well as the stars embedded within. His sharp vision allowed him to immediately notice that this was no ordinary barrier.
"What's that up in the sky?"
"That's an ancient seal," the man said with a tinge pride. "This is the only ancient seal we've found that can still be operated. Once activated, it creates a barrier that completely separates things within it from those outside. Not even a grandmaster can find us here."
"So none of you can leave?"
"Nobody can leave this place," the man as he smiled. "It's probably for the best since there might be spies mixed in with the rest of us. It's safer to keep everyone in."
Master Shao's heart sank. He pretended to casually mention, "Finding an ancient blessed land and an ancient seal requires quite a bit of luck."
The man passionately responded, "Fortune clearly favors the Assembly."
He snickered and asked, "How else do you think Chi Tong landed in our hands? Don't you agree, Master Shao?"
Master Shao replied with composure, "The Assembly has yet to gain access to this key."
"It's only a matter of time before we do." The man continued with confidence, "With regards to forging [Heart of God], Master Shao is peerless. On matters regarding Chi Tong, however, nobody has acquired more knowledge than the Assembly of Patriarchs or the Beast Venom Temple."
"To each his own," agreed Master Shao as he nodded. "Although, using the Demon-subduing Well to neutralize the Banner of God might prove an uphill task."
The man exclaimed in admiration, "Master Shao is sharp indeed."
Master Shao was taken aback, "Oh, does the Assembly have other alternatives? There's no need to reveal more if it's top secret."
The man smiled. "You're one of us, Master Shao, so there's no harm in telling you more. Besides, not even a grandmaster can escape from this place."
He paused for a moment, pleased to see Master Shao's curiosity. The man continued, "The Banner of God is truly formidable, but can physical protection shield the soul?"
"Soul?" Master Shao was stunned. "You guys are going for the soul?"
The man laughed in reply.
Master Shao's brows were deeply furrowed as misgivings flooded his mind. "Beginning with the soul! How though?"
The man posed a familiar question, "Master Shao, what's the name of this place again?"
"Village of Rest, where souls would find eternal peace. Didn't you just…"
Master Shao's eyes widened in shock.
The man grinned like the Cheshire cat.
At this point, the two of them had reached the end of the street. A huge, lumbering tree stood in front of Master Shao, completely blocking his line of sight. Light rays filtered through its dense canopy, creating a tranquil scenery.
Master Shao muttered subconsciously, "This is…"
The man looked at it and answered, "The Tree of Rest."
Tree of Rest?
Master Shao wondered if this tree was somehow inextricably linked to this place.
Right then, the previously enthusiastic man flatly said, "The area beyond this tree is forbidden to all but members of the Assembly of Patriarchs. You'll be free to roam the area after you've joined the Assembly, but only if Master Shao is interested in doing so, of course."
Master Shao regained his composure and responded, "Let's go back then."
Master Shao felt as though the core member of the Assembly of Patriarchs beside him had relaxed greatly when he asked to turn back. It seemed as though the Tree of Rest had an important role in breaking Chi Tong.
The Assembly of Patriarchs' latest advancement?
What made him think twice was the feeling of familiarity that the tree gave him.
