章 317: Formation of Team

Aksai stood at the rendezvous point, a small clearing just outside the border city.

The sun was beginning to rise, casting a golden hue over the landscape.

His black steed stood beside him, snorting occasionally as if impatient for the journey ahead.

Aksai had already reviewed the mission details, and now he was waiting to meet the five other Spirit cultivators who would accompany him through the Wild Devil Lands.

One by one, the other team members began to arrive.

The first to show up was a tall, lean man with a serious expression. His short, dark hair was neatly combed, and he wore a dark blue robe that bore the insignia of the Azure Cloud Sect. His eyes were sharp, and there was a calm, collected air about him.

"Name's Jian Chen," he said, nodding to Aksai.
