At the foot of Sacrificial Moon Mountain, under a cliff, the forest was dense.
A waterfall cascaded down the cliff.
At the base of the cliff, it gathered into a pool.
The sound of the waterfall could be heard from several miles away.
It was late at night, and the forest surrounding the cliff's pool was lit by fire torches every ten steps.
Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that a group of soldiers in black armor stood guard along the forest path leading to the pool, ten steps apart.
If Zhao Rong were present, he would immediately recognize these soldiers as the elite of the Great Li Imperial Army.
No one knew why they were there at this time.
Within the forest, only the sound of the waterfall could be heard, and no other sound arose.
At a certain moment, a few leaves suddenly fell on the head of one of the motionless guards on a section of the path.
The nearby soldiers glanced sharply upward but, seeing no abnormalities, slowly retracted their gaze.
