Bai Gan and Gao Qing each chose a pseudonym and agreed to address each other by these names, not mentioning their real names. They left the Myriad Poison Forest and arrived at Annan Town.
Annan Town is a small frontier town in the Central Plains. Because the Southern Border has been peaceful for many years, the Central Plains haven't stationed too many troops or imposed strict controls in this area.
In this small town, there are four major cultivating families: Ye, Xiao, Su, Qin. Due to the remoteness of Annan Town, major Sects seldom visit, and imperial authority doesn't reach this far. For many years, these four families have been the overlords of this town.
This is the hotbed for nurturing the protagonist.
What was considered a backward small town to the Central Plains People appeared quite luxurious in the eyes of Gao Qing and Bai Gan. At least there were no such urban areas in the Southern Border.
