Tianyun Kingdom, Iron Sword Pass, shrouded in the ominous aura of Yin Sha Qi, clouds of despair covering the sky, not a single blade of grass growing. Even the soil was crimson, with chilling winds that swept through, gathering the malevolent energy without dispersing it.
A man clad in golden armor led a troop of Imperial Guards to Iron Sword Pass.
The man in golden armor radiated a powerful aura, sharply prominent as if he were a sword about to be unsheathed, having already stepped into the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.
The Imperial Guards he brought with him varied in cultivation levels, ranging from the Void Refinement Realm to those on the verge of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
Among them were more than a dozen monks.
The monk at the forefront bore a dignified presence, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand with a faint Buddhist light flowing around his body, making him appear as an enlightened high monk.
