The one who had arrived was a Martial King and the president of the Martial Cultivator Association, named Saliven.
As soon as he arrived, he apologized. "Sorry, I was just making arrangements to activate protection for the books, along with other matters."
Feng Jun raised an eyebrow slightly. "Other matters?"
"This is a city of Wizards," Saliven replied frankly. "And there are plenty of miscellaneous people around. We have to be on guard."
It was true that there were many miscellaneous people around. In an ordinary city, having one Martial King was already quite good.
Twin Towers City had only one Martial King. It was just that when Feng Jun had gone there, that Martial King had happened to be away.
Flame City, however, saw many travelers and had relatively frequent trade. Not only were there many Wizards, but there were also many martial cultivators.
With a large floating population came the likelihood of small conflicts, so there were two Martial Kings here.
Even so, Wizards still held the upper hand. Whether it was the City Lord's Manor or the Martial Cultivator Association, Wizards had deeply infiltrated both.
Strictly speaking, it was not really infiltration. The Wizards' influence was simply overwhelming.
That was how things were in the Martial Cultivator Association. Many martial cultivators depended on Wizards for a living. Where benefits lay, factions could temporarily be set aside.

The Martial Cultivator Association could clearly stay out of it, so why wade into muddy waters with those lunatics?
By now, he was not even afraid
