That evening, a minibus drove up the mountainside and arrived within a vast and impressive mountain gate.
These three characters, in black with gold plating, hung in the center of the gray pillars.
Behind was a complex of brick and tile halls, with copper cauldrons burning incense, and carved beams and painted rafters displaying the grandeur of a major sect.
Although it was already night, some tourists could still be seen wandering nearby.
Under the illumination of lanterns and streetlights, the support staff of the Giant Elephant Sect appeared, guiding passersby at the entrance of the mountain gate.
Everything was orderly. If it were not for prior knowledge of events, it would be hard to tell that a great battle was about to take place here.
Even so, the mountainside tonight was clearly lit with numerous houses, and the surrounding hotels and guesthouses were all fully booked, well beyond the usual days.
"Come, these are everyone's room keys, make sure not to lose them..."
