203, Jinling Zhu Clan

New Yu Era, year 1322, early September

Three days ago, the news that the Hou Clan had taken the lead in gathering hosts from all the influential martial forces of Hexi's three prefectures at the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building, collectively deciding to establish the Hexi Prefecture, was not just causing a buzz in Wanyang County. As the conference at the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building came to an end, those returning forces took the news back with them, and almost everyone on the land of Hexi had come to know of it.

In the entirety of Hexi's three prefectures and twelve counties, with a population of over ten million, there were not just those thirty-five influential forces. In fact, there was an even greater number of common civilians and a significant amount of wandering martial artists.
