The Green Robe in the Forest, Waiting by the Tree

As night fell, Shangguan Yuyang emerged from a grass shack. In the capital of Jing Nation, nighttime curfews were enforced, patrolled by formidable cultivators, and the celestial court somehow acquired some celestial treasures and specialized spells for detecting hidden beings.

For safety's sake, she chose to lay low for a while. However, while it was inconvenient to move within the city, staying outside posed its own risks.

There were no patrols from the Jing Nation within these boundaries, thus no obligation to protect. Typically, weaker cultivators wouldn't spend the night outside the city, except for Shangguan Yuyang, who was an exception.

Though vulnerable, she wouldn't be taken advantage of easily, except perhaps by formidable adversaries like Gu Lan, the formidable dragon from across the river.

Dealing with cultivators of ordinary strength was child's play for an Emperor Realm expert like her.
