Taking advantage of the night, the group concealed their presence and adjusted their state.
When it was almost dawn, Wan Xun opened his eyes and roused the others.
"Everyone, we'll temporarily divide into two squads. I'll lead six people to engage the Tribulation Cultivators in the stockade."
"The rest, activate the perimeter array and don't linger—join us swiftly!"
With that, Wan Xun led several cultivators towards Jade Belt Stockade, Lin Chen among them.
The remaining Array Masters stayed at the perimeter to activate the large array.
The group moved swiftly towards the depths of Jade Belt Mountain.
As the sky lightened, the thick forest remained dim and overshadowed.
The seven moved quickly, making no noise at all.
A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at a high ground.
Lin Chen looked down; several dozen yards away stood a stockade nestled against the mountain.
Half of the stockade lay among rocks, hard to see yet highly concealed.
