Chapter 84 Book 3 A Town or a Base?
The moon hung low in the inky sky, its silver rays illuminating the sprawling barracks of Guanhao Town. The name "town" was a misnomer; Guanhao was no ordinary settlement. It was a fortress, a hive of military activity teeming with thousands of soldiers. Row upon row of barracks stood in rigid formation, and the clang of metal echoed faintly in the cool night air. Torches flickered on the perimeter walls, guarded by sentinels who scanned the shadows for any signs of intrusion.
Hidden among those shadows was Li An, who moved with the grace of a ghost. Her lithe frame blended seamlessly into the darkness as she crouched on the roof of one of the barracks, her sharp eyes taking in the scene below. Clad in a simple black robe, her presence was undetectable, her breathing steady and silent. Years of honing her martial arts and heavenly body refining techniques had made her a formidable figure, and tonight, those skills were being put to the test.
