Tianxiong Pass, Colonel Palace.
In the deep night, the chill was heavy, visible as frost when breathed. The palace doors were open, with flickering candlelight inside reflecting a few glints of armor light and blurred silhouettes.
Suddenly, above the square outside the palace, a white light abruptly tore through the night, descending with a loud clang in the center of the square. It stirred up a fierce wind that made the flags flap fiercely.
The milky white light dissipated, and a figure stepped out.
Dressed in Black Cyan Armor, with a gray-white goatee, he held the knife at his waist, walking with a Four-direction Step, sturdy and vigorous, his steps creating a breeze.
As this figure appeared, with a swish, the armored soldiers guarding the outside of the palace formed two lines, rushing toward the newcomer. Immediately, two burly figures walked out from the palace to greet him.
