Bab 323: Chapter 316: Lipei

After traveling for approximately two days, they were finally less than a day's journey away from Lipei. At this time, Lipei became unusually lively, with footprints and horse hoof prints all over the road, turning it into a muddy mess.

The last time it was this busy was in the Aud Empire era, when the Emperor of the Aud Empire led troops to resist the monsters that surged out of the Otherworld Gate. It was that war that led to Lipei's decline.

In the legend of the Aud people, this place is a forbidding wasteland. The great war of a thousand years ago turned it into a field of corpses and rivers of blood. Thus, in the lore of the Aud people, a story has been passed down: whenever a thin fog shrouds Lipei, the dead soldiers of the Aud Empire would rise from the soil to continue guarding Lipei from monster invasions.
