Chapter 224: Five Palaces_1

```

Ten years later.

Xing Country, Northern Territory, White Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.

White Dragon Ridge, like a dragon, stretched for thousands of miles, linking the lands of three countries, thus divided into Dragon's Head, Dragon's Body, and Dragon's Tail.

The Dragon's Head, Great Xing also, where the Great Xing Mountain's gate was located, though not the capital of the Xing Dynasty, held an even higher status than the capital.

Outside White Dragon Ridge, by the bank of the Black Water River, stood a Snow City, also under the jurisdiction of the Xing Dynasty, protected by Great Xing Mountain. Despite being in the remote snowy realm of the Snow Country, it had no shortage of residents; life thrived even amidst the extreme cold and desolation.

In the city, a bustling tavern hung its sign, busy with people coming and going.

Two signs were hung side by side, one reading Listening to the Wind and Asking the Rain, and the other Chasing Stars and Moon.
