The bright moon hung high, the night deep and tranquil.
Tap, tap, tap...
The orderly and light sound of footsteps echoed through Peach Blossom Valley.
One by one, figures emerged from their rooms, heading in unison toward the Peach Forest at the valley's entrance.
At the base of the southern mountain in Peach Blossom Valley, inside a square stone residence.
A black mist materialized in the center of the room out of thin air, rapidly swirling and expanding, transforming into a doorway as tall as a person.
Chen Mu stepped out expressionlessly and strode toward the door, yanking it open with a heavy pull.
A sliver of moonlight filtered through the thin clouds and spilled onto the earth, reflecting into Chen Mu's eyes.
And in that instant, his previously unfocused pupils contracted sharply.
Pop!
A soft popping sound echoed deep in his mind.
From the center of Chen Mu's brows, a colorless flame suddenly ignited.
Screee!
