[Northern Continent, Quanzhi Province]
People were preoccupied with their various enterprises and affairs among a raucous crowd in a marketplace. It was a routine day for them until a commotion ruined it. The crowd was cut in half, making space for some important people to walk by.
Three majestic golden-coated carriages passed by in the marketplace, strengthened by a formidable array formation. The crowd's loudness abruptly died away, as if youngsters were being hushed by their parents. They had dead serious silence expressions on their faces as if a small noise would kill them.
Only the stomps of the horses and the yells of the coaches could be heard as these carriages sped past. No one dared interrupt these people inside the carriages since they were deadly influential in the whole province.
The silence was deafening for a few minutes, and when they finally vanished, the crowd sighed.
