Beyond the region.
In a wilderness some distance away from the human defensive zone, four humans were nestled inside a spacious cave.
The cave was deep, seemingly an abandoned nest of some magical beast, and it appeared to have been vacant for a while. Inside, the lighting was dim, and visibility was narrow, save for the flickering firelight from a bonfire in the center of the cave.
Beside the bonfire, the four humans each occupied a side, eating and chatting.
Of the four, one was a man with handsome features, distinct contours, and a demeanor that was aloof and cold. The other three were young girls, wearing energetic attire in different colors, each radiating youthful vigor with their unique beauty.
These four were naturally Immortal Palace disciple Zhang Huaibing, along with Wang Licui, Wang Ying Xuan, and Lan Wanyi, who had lured him here as a trio.
