After a moment of reflection, the five landed on a small hill. Zhaang Ye surveyed their surroundings from atop it, feeling an incredibly dense, malevolent aura pressing in from all sides. The thick, vicious energy hung in the air like dark clouds, blocking out the sunlight and shrouding the area in an oppressive, eerie gloom.
From the distance, Zhaang Ye could occasionally hear the great roars of Barbaric Beasts. The ground trembled ceaselessly, adding to the grim, sinister feeling of the place.
While Zhaang Ye was observing their surroundings, the four Hall Masters conferred for a moment. The Fourth Hall Master then walked over and said, "Zhaang Ye, the area our Wei Kingdom True Hall is responsible for defending spans roughly a thousand li. This region can be divided into four sectors—east, south, west, and north. I am in charge of the west. You'll come with me to hunt the Barbaric Beasts there."
