Kong Clan City.
A young woman dressed as a man cautiously surveyed her surroundings and approached the base of the city wall, tentatively pressing her hand against it.
A faint light rippled from her palm, wavering the weak barrier glow.
The woman's eyes lit up, and golden beams overflowed from her palm, instantly tearing open a crack in the barrier.
"Second Brother was indeed right. During the opening of the Wind and Cloud Meeting, the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy of the Kong and Fang Clans would be heavily siphoned, weakening the city's Protection Array. Even with my mere Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, I can easily break through."
The woman glanced around, whispered softly while the Kong Clan's patrol had yet to arrive.
"A roc rises with the wind one day, soaring up ninety thousand miles."
As the words fell, a Vast Golden Light transformed into the illusion of a roc, carrying the woman straight up into the clouds.
