The time was around noon and the sun is at its peak position.
At the top of a cliff, 20 kilometers away from Mt. Jizu, the volcano that just erupted to give birth to the lava pillar, which is also known as the womb of the fire seed, a few tents were seen.
For now, Wan Kun (Eastern General), Zhao Chou (Zhao clan's lord/Patriarch), Yuan Meili, and their subordinates were staying there while waiting for the Emperor.
While the soldiers continued to observe the moments of the targets through their respective telescopes, a portal opened nearby, throwing everyone on full alert.
Thankfully, it isn't an ambush from enemies or something. Shang Fu and his aides walked out of the portal.
