Taihu Island, Dragon Illusion City.
Dragon Illusion City was a major city at the easternmost edge of Taihu Island. Beyond Dragon Illusion City lay a mountain range, and past those mountains was Tian Yuan Prefecture's territory.

"Your subordinates greet the family head!"

The newcomer was Zhang Yanglong,
