From The Lady’s Path to the camp

Community-reported

Repair the Illusory Pipa, then sail into the mist at the far north of Meigu Lake. You wake near The Lady’s Path bell; follow the road past an injured NPC into a large camp. TheGamer says to clear the camp’s guards first, then he appears. PowerPyx lists an Iron Butcher’s Camp bell inside the arena.
