Compared to Lin Chang Commandery, Hequ County was truly a dwarf before a giant.
The city walls alone were completely incomparable.
He had originally thought Hequ County's walls, over three meters high, were already imposing. But compared to Lin Chang Commandery's nearly ten-meter walls, built from thick bluestone, it was like a son seeing his father—there was no comparison at all.
Just looking at these walls made one feel safe.
Unlike Hequ County, which lay in a safe zone, Lin Chang Commandery was near the national border, close to Wild Mountain, where Exotic Beasts and Demons frequently appeared.
Even with the True Martial Sect and Fierce Tiger Sect stationed at the eastern and western passes, standing on the front lines and helping fend off Demons and Exotic Beasts, the danger remained far from low. Building the walls like this was more about practicality than appearances, and it was absolutely necessary.
To be honest, if he had known in advance that the True Martial Sect was located in such a place, and that Lin Chang Commandery was in such a state, Chen Mo might not have been willing to come. With his talent, he would surely have been able to make a name for himself in the capital as well.
But since he was already here, and the capital lay thousands of kilometers away, Chen Mo realized he had no other choice.
He could only join the True Martial Sect first. As for what came afterward, he would take one step at a time.
He had once been somewhat resistant to taking a master, but now, he felt that finding a reliable master to serve as backing was not something unacceptable. Therefore, in this Grand Competition, he definitely would not hold back. He would fight with everything he had for first
