One and a half years later.
It was a busy city. People talking to each other, vendors trying to poach customers, this sure was a lively place.
"Where is White Tiger Cave? I am new here, so I am not sure." a hooded man asked one of the street vendors.
But the vendor looked at the hooded man with suspicion.
"Who the hell are you? Who in the world doesn't know where the great White Tiger Cave is?" the vendor asked, laughing at the hooded man.
The hooded man shook his head and continued along the road. He couldn't be bothered with someone who wouldn't help him.
He walked past this road, and saw the number of people slowly diminishing. It looked like he didn't indeed need any directions. All the roads eventually lead here.
The hooded man looked at the large compound in the center of the city. This was quite the large sect. It encompassed an area of perhaps ten square kilometers.
