Huangyao Mountain and the Vital Qi Mountain Ranges

The three elders leading the group were all King Realm cultivators, with the most formidable among them already at the third stage of the King Realm. However, they were no match for Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong was about to make his move when he recognized their faces, surprising him as he had encountered these three men before. They were from the Central Region's Imperial Dynasty, all ranking within the top one hundred of the Xuan List.

"Where do you come from?" the middle-aged elder asked.

"Eastern Region," Wang Zhong replied.

"Do you have any proof?" The middle-aged elder was astonished and continued to question him.

"I do." Wang Zhong presented the badge of a higher-ranked sect.

"What are you doing here?" the middle-aged elder asked with a furrowed brow.

"Killing exterritorial demons," Wang Zhong answered.

"Central Region people are here; you Eastern Region folks should return and guard your Key Pass," the middle-aged elder ordered.
