The section of city wall where Feng Jun's group of five was stationed was actually quite prominent. Otherwise, the defenders would not have specifically assigned a Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivator there.
Even if he was an independent cultivator.
But the world was simply that unreasonable. Among the Geng Character Team's thousand-man force, there were ten High Qi Condensation cultivators. The importance of Feng Jun's position should have ranked among the top three—strictly speaking, second.
