The next morning, at dawn.
All the warriors in the camp gathered.
Everyone already knew that the Wuliang Sword Sect's Divine Might Army had taken up residence. They had no idea why the Wuliang Sword Sect had summoned them, and they whispered among themselves, speculating about all sorts of possibilities.
