Withered Bones City, the City Lord's Mansion.

As the City Lord of Withered Bones City, Hill naturally cultivated Death Power. He had the strength of the upper god late stage. A hundred years ago, the Death Main God had bestowed a Divine Seal on him. With that Divine Seal, he might make a breakthrough in a short time and reach the main god realm.
