Han Yu took a deep breath.
"…This place is serious."
Xu Qing smirked. "Welcome to the Frontier."
For the first time since meeting her, Han Yu felt genuine dread.
Maybe… just maybe… he should've stayed home playing cards.
But for now, he could only follow behind Xu Qing in his 'non-consensual recruitment'.
In addition to being a defensive fort, this city was also a crucial transit hub—a gateway that connected multiple regions, cities, and even a few sects.
As they entered, Han Yu immediately felt the difference between this place and Yuzeng City.
The last city had felt alive—a bustling metropolis where commoners and cultivators mingled in lively markets, laughter echoed in the streets, and street vendors hollered out their daily specials.
This city?
It felt like a place where laughter came to die.
