Central Region.
Qingyuan Mountain, Changde Town.
The sky is clear and the breeze is gentle.
This day was no different from any other day.
News of the renowned Seven Sword Deity that shook the five regions cannot reach this small town.
The major storm that everyone on the continent knows is coming to Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe can't reach here either.
The small town with its simple folk customs, where residents start their day at sunrise and rest at sunset, living an orderly life.
In these peaceful and comfortable cycle of days, suddenly, a thunderclap on a sunny day, purple lightning flashed within the streets of the town and vanished into the high sky.
"Crack crack crack!"
In response, wooden windows on houses around were pushed open, and heads with bright eyes peered out.
"Swish swish swish!"
Pedestrians on the street also stopped in their tracks, turning their heads in unison towards the same place.
