The captain of the guards bent at the waist and answered, "Yes." His eyes were wide as saucers as he watched everyone approaching the Teleportation Array.
Zhenhuang City, meanwhile, was the northernmost border city of the human race, with the cold, harsh lands of the Primordial World pressed against its northern edge. Though plenty of travelers had passed through in the past, they were either adventurers rushing off to explore or merchant caravans hauling goods. Everyone came and went in haste, and the city, inside and out, had always carried a desolate air tinged with the grim chill of war.
But today was different! This border city was practically bursting with life—the Teleportation Arrays connecting it to core cities such as Luo Shui City, Tianyuan City, and Trade City had only been completed three days ago, yet the entire city had already become a major hub for the human race's expansion into the northern region of the Primordial World.
In the Teleportation Array plaza at the city center, three pillars of light, each thicker than a person, shot straight into the sky, each linked to Luo Shui City, Tianyuan City, or Trade City. Beside them stood dozens of Protector Guards in silver armor, arranged in neat ranks. They gripped dark iron tokens in their hands and carefully inspected every human cultivator entering or leaving the Teleportation Arrays, without the slightest negligence.
The once-empty spaces around the plaza were now filled with banners of every color, rustling loudly in the wind—the Black Bird Banner of the Lin Family Adventurer Group, the Crimson Fire Banner of the Zhao Family Artifact Refining Workshop, and the Green Banner Flag of the Zhou Family Formation Pavilion. All belonged to families and forces that had rushed in from the inland regions through the Teleportation Arrays.
