045 Gold Ring, Chimera

```

Two days later.

In the Dark Wind Hills.

As in the previous days, Qian Feng always liked to stay alone in the bamboo forest, gazing northward, waiting for the Pinnacle bird to bring back the latest news from the north.

Last night, the Pinnacle bird brought back exhilarating news: the tens of thousands of allied forces from the five major families on the Huiyin Mountains had begun to approach Sunset Pass. Factoring in the time for the five families' allied forces to regroup, he estimated that they would attack Sunset Pass at the latest the day after tomorrow.

The day the allied forces of the five families attacked Sunset Pass would also be the day he led seventy thousand troops and thirty thousand Ghost Army soldiers in an offensive towards Netherworld City.

"Hee-hee hahaha!" Suddenly, a shrill, piercing mockery came from the soldiers' camp; those Ghost Army soldiers were causing a commotion again.
