Chapter 98

Ever since the fall of the Ghost King, Jiuyou City had maintained a tranquil surface while unknown currents churned beneath. The martial factions in the city held a deep dread of Chen Haotian's methods, not daring to act rashly again. Yet beneath this calm, a much greater storm was brewing. At that moment, Chen Haotian sat alone in the study of the Jiuyou City Lord's Mansion. He felt not the slightest bit of complacency from having taken control of Jiuyou City; on the contrary, he knew deep down that this was merely the beginning, and that far more unknown challenges awaited him ahead.That day, Lin Fan hurried into the study. "Master, a guest claiming to be an envoy from Nanyan City requests an audience. He says he has important intelligence to report." Nanyan City! Chen Haotian raised an eyebrow slightly as the name of this mid-tier city surfaced in his mind. Much like Jiuyou City, Nanyan City was a prosperous place for martial arts, but it was backed by an organization known as the Qingyan Alliance, which was rumored to have some unknown connections with cultivators.
