After leaving the Lingyue Sect, Liu Hai did not immediately lead his team into Jinxiu City because he heard that a team from the Lingyue Sect was still stationed there. He dared not go, fearing an accident might occur there.
Later, when news of the Lingyue Sect's disaster spread, the team that had stayed in Jinxiu City was also killed by Chu Mo, who had assumed the identity of Lu Tianming. Only then did Liu Hai dare to lead his team into Jinxiu City. To his surprise, he encountered no difficulties there.
It was later that he learned that a City Lord had surprisingly emerged in the city!
This was a rare occurrence, as Jinxiu City had never had a City Lord before—it was the first in history! Moreover, it was all the big shots in the city who had... elected him!
As time passed, Liu Hai came to know more and more, and he admired Lu Tianming tremendously, though he was of too low a status to witness Lu Tianming's grace. Meanwhile, Liu Hai also heard some rumors about Chu Mo.
