Time had flown by, and over a month had already passed.
Outside the Capital of the Ming Dynasty, as soon as True Master Yan Xu arrived, the Ming Dynasty began massive construction efforts. Not only did they mobilize all 400,000 soldiers of the Central Guard Army, but they also enlisted the help of a large number of civilians. In just one short month, they rapidly built a residential area.
Most of these residences were made of wood, bamboo, or stone, and were surrounded by a tranquil environment with small bridges over running water. Even True Master Yan Xu was satisfied after seeing them.
That night.
True Master Yan Xu, True Master Huo Tian, True Master Di Feng, Dongfang Yu, and five other disciples from the Chaoyang Sect, along with Emperor Zhu Yan of the Ming Dynasty and dozens of his subordinates, waited quietly outside the city. They all knew that tonight, two thousand cultivators from the Chaoyang Sect and surrounding sects were due to arrive.
