Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
The Mu Family.
Night fell, and lights blazed throughout the Mu Family's sprawling estate. Guards patrolled the passageways, and servants bustled about. As always, the family members amused themselves or cultivated, each going about their business in peaceful harmony, unaware that danger was drawing ever closer.
Beneath the night sky, six figures rapidly approached the Mu Family estate.

It was charging straight toward the Mu Manor
