Thousand Peak Forest.
A group of Cultivators is climbing to the mountaintop.
The leading Golden Core Cultivator Gao Cuo couldn't help but look back once again, towards Bikong Mountain.
His deputy said with admiration, "Elder Gao, this is the ninth time you've looked back since we left Bikong Mountain."
"This shows how deep your feelings for Bikong Mountain are!"
"Although you've only been appointed here for half a year, you're so attached to it. When the news of the enemy forces' approach arrived, you were the first to advocate for standing our ground."
"Your courage and sense of duty shine through. Alas, we were blind to your merits and underestimated you. Ever since you took over, we have repeatedly contradicted you on the surface while defying you behind your back, which we really shouldn't have done!"
Gao Cuo glanced at his deputy and sighed, "It's a huge mistake from the higher-ups to abandon Bikong Mountain!"
