"Commander Li, during your last expedition, you discovered that Jianmu existed in this world. Just what sort of existence is it?"
As Li Yong inspected the surrounding mountains and forests, Warrior guards from his own sect followed him at all times, both to display his authority as a leader of the Expeditionary Corps and to protect him.
