At a quarter past midnight, the moon was bright, and the stars were few.
Compared to usual, on the eve of the grand event's opening, Kyoto Prefecture was particularly lively tonight.
The whole Kyoto Prefecture was ablaze with lights, and even though each ward was tightly closed, with streets and alleys cleared, and only the Night Watch Department and Black Armor Guard patrolling back and forth, the noise from various places could still be clearly heard.
Outside the south gate of the Imperial City, from the starting point of Vermilion Bird Street to the entire street where Dakong Temple was located, lanterns were everywhere in sight.
Not only were the taverns and teahouses along the street festooned with colorful lanterns inscribed with the large character "Wei," even the entrance of Kyoto Academy and the Grand Void Sect's residence displayed lanterns to show celebration.
