Li Hao hid within a dense forest, his form completely obscured by the shadows of the leaves. His eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, remained constantly alert to the movements around him. This area was rumored to be one where spiritual energy was particularly active, making it a likely target for the Dark Forces to strike.
Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of footsteps. His heart tightened; he held his breath and observed with even greater focus. A group of people dressed in black appeared quietly, moving with the speed and stealth of ghosts. Li Hao realized with a sinking heart that these individuals surely belonged to the Dark Forces.
Not far away, several disciples of the Star River Sect were diligently patrolling the fluctuations in spiritual energy. Entirely unaware of the encroaching danger, they remained focused on their task. The figures in black crept closer, like predatory beasts, waiting for the perfect moment. Li Hao watched the scene tensely, gripping his magic treasure tightly, ready to intervene at the critical moment. However, he knew he could not act rashly; he had to wait for a better opportunity while avoiding the exposure of his own position.
