East of the city, Shili Slope
In the past four months, demons from Tongling had run rampant, and not even a shadow could be seen on the Official Road. Shili Slope, being three to two miles away from the official road, rarely saw anyone pass by on a normal day, let alone now.
However, tonight, an unprecedented gathering of a thousand people had assembled here.
The entire Shili Slope covered only about five hundred meters in diameter, and at this moment it was surrounded by layers of people, three layers inside and three out, leaving only a space in the middle. Everyone tacitly avoided this open space, obviously leaving it reserved for members of the Qinglong Association.
It was the beginning of the Xu hour, and the night had completely fallen. Despite numerous fires being lit around the crowd, they were clearly insufficient to provide proper lighting.
