Chizhong Mansion,
As the martial contest between the two exceptional ladies of heaven approached, the bustling prosperity was extraordinary, smiles adorned the faces of many pedestrians, and the clothes they wore were of fine quality, with scarcely a patch in sight.

It was impossible to imagine that just tens of miles away, hordes of starving folk were fleeing famine with their families, exerting all their strength just for a bite to eat.
With his sword at his side, Jiang Ding strolled down the main street, his thoughts soaring as he observed the surrounding streetscapes.
"Duke Town Dover Tong Wang has rebelled!"
"Yesterday, I saw masked men in black posting seditious flyers everywhere. I only dared to take a quick glance and didn't dare to look closely. Now the constables are searching for suspects everywhere!"
