Synopsis

A non-martial artist strategist accurately predicts the enemy's location at Huanglong Canal, advising the protagonist to take a dangerous shortcut through the Narrow Path of the Cliff to deliver reinforcements. Meanwhile, at the canal, opposing factions prepare for battle, strategizing around the anticipated arrival of the powerful Heavenly Demon Saber, while one group is held back as reserves for a future threat. They believe the enemy is headed to them directly instead of the Sichuan branch as originally expected.
