Mu City.
Compared to other bustling cities, this place seemed utterly unremarkable. There were no cultural plazas piled with statues, no scenery worth praising, and even the subway had only one line in service. Though it was called a city, most of it consisted of towering mountains and remote villages that high-speed trains could hardly reach.
In short, it was a fringe city on the Xia Kingdom map that people would instinctively overlook.
Yet at this moment, the city had secretly changed masters.
Li Yuan.
A newly born Lord of the Xia Kingdom, absent from the Spirit Association's records. When the Rain Throne descended upon Mu City, he made the same decision as Jiang Gengsheng of Yuan City—he concealed this supreme power and claimed it for himself.
The difference was that Jiang Gengsheng had fallen at the hands of the Undertaker, while he had gained the Rain Throne's recognition and ascended as a Lord.
The first thing he did after becoming the Rain Lord was build a throne in the place where he lived.
The throne's armrests were set with gemstones of every color, while the dragon heads at the grips had been crafted in dazzling hues, making it look magnificent and mysterious.
This was the Rain Lord's throne.
He sat upon it, listening to the people below argue as he tapped the dragon heads. No one dared utter a word of objection, because this was the authority power had granted him.
"Of the seven surrounding districts, we have already annexed four. Two are still considering it, while the person secretly in charge of Xiaqi District has stated that he chooses neutrality and will not participate in any conflict."
"Neutrality...? When that word appears amid chaos, it represents absolute strength. Only those strong enough have the right to choose neutrality.
