The Wait

Tiantang City was Yutang's capital city. Unless there was an invasion from external forces, the gates to Tiantang would always remain open, allowing common folk to come and go as they please. Therefore, no matter how strict the martial law, commoners must still be allowed to travel in and out, albeit under slightly stricter security inspections!

For the better part of the time, martial world practitioners did not acknowledge themselves as common men, assuming that they were totally different from the common folk. However, at that moment, they were just plain civilians. That was the reality of it - weren't the people of the martial world merely… ordinary people?

The purpose of this ban was just to slow down the influx of martial world practitioners into Tiantang City - that was all there was to it!
