Roughly seven hours earlier;
The city of Dongyi, Jin Province, Phoenix Empire
A portal opened up in the middle of the city ruled by the Jin Clan (not to be confused with the Ji Clan), and Mark walked out of it wearing black robes, covered his head with a hood, and his face with a blank mask so that no one will recognize him in any unexpected situations like these.
Luckily for him, despite the fact that people are still roaming in the streets, it was dim due to the high distance between each lamppost on the street.
It was just 15 minutes away from midnight and there was no way, any kind of store or restaurant will be opened here in any kingdom. Even pubs will be closed now. Only two businesses are active at night. One is the hotel business and the other is the brothel.
