Baishi County.
Back then, hardly anyone had heard of Baishi County. It had languished in obscurity.
Now, Baishi County was renowned throughout Yun Province, even across the entire Xibei Dao and Great Chu.
All because—
The regent of the Great Chu Dynasty had risen from Baishi County.
Over the past year, Baishi County's population had visibly increased, and travelers came and went in an unending stream.
At the center of Baishi County stood a statue. The figure in the statue was still young, clad in a Mystic Dragon Golden Robe, one hand resting on the Great Ancestor's Golden Saber, his bearing soaring into the clouds.
It had been personally designed by a master-level stonemason of Great Chu and took three months to complete.
Those who came from elsewhere would generally visit to pay their respects. From time to time, cultivators and common folk in different attire could be seen standing before the statue and bowing slightly.
At this moment—
The man standing before the statue was Shi Feng, the new headmaster of the Greedy Wolf Martial Arts School.
The Greedy Wolf Martial Arts School was now unrivaled in Baishi County.
All of this had been bestowed by Chu Jiang.
One had to know gratitude, so on the first day of every month, he came to offer worship.
A woman and a little girl passed by the statue.
"Girl, our Baishi County was able to escape the threat of demons and live in peace because of Master Chu's divine might. He endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens..."
the woman said.
The little girl nodded and copied the woman, bowing slightly.
In Baishi County, word of mouth had turned Chu Jiang into the embodiment of a just and upright magistrate.
Just then—
A burst of cries suddenly came from Baishi County's gates.
