Grand Lord Di Cang wore a dark golden wolf-fur cloak, standing alone before an unfurled map of Yan Kingdom's northern territories.
The map was densely marked with mountains, rivers, cities, and fortresses, along with several secret routes and red dots drawn in cinnabar.
These represented the elaborate plan he had carefully orchestrated, coordinating with the Blood Leopard and Black Python tribes to execute a series of consecutive assassinations targeting the Taiyi Upper Sect and its allied forces.
