Ziwei City was known as the last city on the borders of the Chu Kingdom.
Within the city, there were two most powerful forces. One was the border army stationed to guard the Chu Kingdom's frontier, and the other was the Ziwei Merchant Guild.
But if one asked... who truly ruled Ziwei City, the Ziwei Merchant Guild still had the final say.
Even the border army had to treat the Ziwei Merchant Guild with the utmost courtesy.
Many people found this puzzling. Wasn't the Chu Kingdom ruled by imperial authority? Then shouldn't the border army's status be higher than the Ziwei Merchant Guild's?
Why, then, did the border army have to treat the Ziwei Merchant Guild with such courtesy?
There were many complicated reasons behind this. For example, the Divine Weapons and elixirs the Ziwei Merchant Guild sold to the border army were all sold at a loss.
But the greatest reason was... there was a shadow of the imperial clan behind the Ziwei Merchant Guild.
Three hours later, the moon hung directly overhead.
The pure moonlight bathed the gobi desert. Within an oasis, an ancient city lay sprawled across the earth like a gigantic beast.
The spirit boat entered the oasis. Lin Bai stood by the railing, looking down at the bustling ancient city and fortress beneath the spirit boat, a trace of excitement involuntarily appearing in his eyes.
More than ten days had already passed since he departed from the territory of the Qi Tian Sect and arrived at the Chu Kingdom's frontier.
After remaining aboard the spirit boat for so long, Lin Bai had grown restless from stillness and could hardly wait to disembark and stretch his legs.
The spirit boat entered Ziwei City and landed on a platform in the eastern part of the city.
