High above Huangfeng Path.
Two Golden Feather Eagles streaked through the clouds like golden streams of light.
Chen Qing sat cross-legged on an eagle's back, his robes snapping in the wind as he gazed down at the sprawling mountains and winding official roads below.
"Master, where are we going first?"
Though the wind howled, Chen Qing's voice reached Luo Zhixian clearly.
"Jiuli City."
Luo Zhixian did not turn around. His voice drifted back calmly. "The city lord and I are old acquaintances, of a sort."
Jiuli City!
Chen Qing's heart jolted, and his gaze deepened involuntarily.
Jiuli City's reputation in Yan Kingdom was simply too great.

This man was immensely famous in Yan Kingdom, entirely different from the other great cities.
Blackwater Great City had several city lords and had gathered numerous vicious criminals from the underworld, its connections tangled and complex.

One man guarded one city!
