Wu Yuan City
Chen Changan had walked for a full month before finally making his way from Tianlin County to Wu Yuan City.
The journey had brought Chen Changan quite a few improvements, mainly because the Power Stone Sword was simply too heavy.
Chen Changan had only just entered Wu Yuan City when a middle-aged man blocked his path.
Seeing the man appear, Chen Changan couldn't help furrowing his brow.
Clearly, the man had been waiting for him on purpose. Judging by his gaze, it seemed he had been waiting for quite a while.
"You... know me?" Chen Changan asked with a frown.
"No."
"But you're the person I've been waiting for."
"Come with me."

Chen Changan didn't rush to ask. Instead, he followed the man to a residence.
"This place has been prepared for you. You can stay here temporarily while you're in Wu Yuan City."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Shisan."
"I'm your guide."

"Although you were a little slow getting here, you're still the fastest among them."
"The others haven't appeared in any of the nearby cities yet."
"You've adapted much better than they have."

Who was watching them?

And what kind of being was this so-called guide?
"I know you probably have a lot of questions right now."
"Have something to eat first. You haven't eaten in two days, have you?"
"Everything's ready for you."
"The food here will do you a lot of good, weak as you are."
"Eat plenty."
