Chapter 212: Opening the Yumen Pass (2)
Previously, near the Yumen Pass in Gansu.
The Yumen Pass was a border gate and a passage that connected the Western Regions of the Central Plains. There were no roads in this area, not to mention flowers, as the Gobi Desert stretched out widely with its rugged, rocky terrain.
Moving through the Yumen Pass was called the Crossing, as the Pass was the border between the Central Plains and the Frontier[1].
"What?!" shouted the Crescent Lake Gate Master, You Xiaofeng.
Mount Mingsha[2], located about 250 li northwest of Yumen Pass, was a narrow sand mountain.
The Crescent Lake Gate was one of the more famous forces around; it was located in a green valley called the Crescent Lake, between the sand dunes.
While it wasn't as renowned as the Nine Sects and One Gang or the Five Great Ancient Families, it was still highly respected in its own right. Its gate master, You Xiaofeng, was even ranked among the One Hundred Experts Under Heaven.
"To think that the Blood Cult's forces have come all the way to Yumen Pass…"
You Xiaofeng's face turned pale as he received intelligence confirming the arrival of the Blood Cult's forces. Even worse, their numbers were far from ordinary.
