Third hall

Karl Zëäl traveled along the same street again, but the sun had faded from tiredness; even nature could tire.

Zëäl strolled the street with grace. He observed shadows moving quickly to and fro, but he wasn't disturbed.

He was carrying a little black basket with a crimson silk fabric covered on top.

As Karl Zëäl approached the same road curve, he noticed a large crowd a few meters ahead.

But he kept going without looking sideways, and as soon as he got to the center of the road, they encircled him.

They all wore crimson hanfu outfits, and one of them came out among the crowd of martial artists: he was their leader.

He appeared taller and older, with a robust build and short black hair. The individual also had an angry expression, which made his face harsh.

He wore a crimson hanfu outfit, but his outer garment featured four small black stripes on his left chest; people called him Fiery King.

Fear had driven everyone in the street to flee.
