Far east of the Eastern Region, there was a border city.
A special kind of panic and excitement spreading amongst many of the cultivators in the border city, and it was somewhat confusing.
Ever since the shocking battle that took place a few months ago in the Land of Fallen not far from here, all of the cultivators from the North Spirit Sect who were guarding this border city had been completely evacuated. For several months, they had not returned.
Many long-enslaved cultivators from the Four Regions, who were nearly numb, dared not run away. They stayed in the increasingly deserted border city like scared quail.
Even some cultivators dared not remove their shackles. They continued their tasks, day after day, from the period of their slavery, painstakingly cultivating the spirit fields, fearing the return of the cultivators from the North Spirit Sect.
