Chapter 714: Establishing Authority Part 2

An hour later...

The wind whistled, swaying the trees around Qing Lake Mountain and causing waves of rustling pines.

A fifty thousand strong army completely surrounded Qing Lake Mountain, with countless infantry and cavalry blocking all essential routes up and down the mountain, leaving only a small path open at the rear.

Among the besieging army, only the entrance to the mountain road was visible.

A brand-new stele stood on the ground, slantingly inserted into the grass.

Written on it in red cinnabar were the words: Lakeside Mountain Sect.

A young girl, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood alone by the stele, quietly staring at the approaching, dense army.

She held a longsword in her hands, gently drawing it out.

The blade was engraved with dense, bizarre rune patterns, and the hilt's guard was inlaid with a glowing, oval green gem.

"The Divine Monarch commands, those who cross this sword, die."

The girl thrust the longsword into the ground by the stele.
