The Eastern Gardens.
It is the largest garden of the Botanist Faction.
It spanned several miles of fertile, enchanted soil, standing as the grandest and most prosperous agricultural hub of the Botanist Faction.
Arrayed in neat, shimmering rows under protective glass domes and spatial barriers were thousands of Grade 6 and Grade 7 Spirit Herbs, rare Sun-Dew Blossoms, and ancient Ginseng roots that fueled the faction's massive trade network.
Because this singular district produced over eighty percent of their entire wealth, it naturally boasted the highest concentration of elite martial guards, array wardens, and senior cultivators in the entire city.
At this exact moment, standing on the crest of a grassy ridge just a few hundred meters away from the heavily fortified outer perimeter of the gardens, four silhouettes stood under the pale midnight sky: Huo Yue, Ziyan, Shen Tao, and Shen Fei.
