Ling Mountain.
One of the thirteen peaks on the Green Cloud and its seven rivers.
There are two villages to the east and west at the base of the mountain where people live peacefully under the governance of the mountain god.
A copper mine was discovered in the mountain a few years ago, and the mountain god informed the people through a dream. The population soon surged, and the area started to develop the tendency of becoming a small town.
On this day.
Wu Ming disguised himself as a miner and blended into the village.
As a demonic cultivator familiar with life and death encounters and more cautious in battle than those of the righteous path, he would never underestimate the newly ascended Nascent Soul of the Green Cloud Mountain God, especially when battling on his opponent's territory.
It was imperative to know both himself and his enemy. If he could deploy traps, poison, or launch sneak attacks, it would be ideal!
