Ming Yue stopped and breathed out, easing herself before putting the branch into her Spatial Ring. While she had certainly gotten used to using it as a weapon, she made no progress in Realm of Hundred Swords. Hei Yue and Xiao Yin had long gone to sleep though they awakened as she stopped.
"Hah, I knew trying to advance into the next stage without completing the last would be difficult. Still, I was hoping for something..."
She sighed before walking off of the sand and heading into the camp. The two beasts followed her and any of her spectators quickly scattered, going back to their own tasks.
"Where to go now?"
Looking around, the young cultivator noticed that all of the soldiers, save for a few guard patrols had gathered at the center. Standing before them was Commander Yu Zhen along with what could only be the captains of each squad.
There were ten of them, each wearing more decorated armor complete with ribbons and elaborate patterns.
