Shang Xiuchun, an individual cultivator by origin, was the lord of Hongdu City.
The conflict between the Sword Tower and the Gui Sacrificial Sect to the north of the Fragment Land was something he, as the city lord, could not possibly be unaware of.
In fact, ever since the Gui Sacrificial Sect began its pursuit of Dong Tianze, he had been quietly paying attention.
Yet, he had acted as if he knew nothing.
With his strength at the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm, it wasn't easy for Shang Xiuchun to achieve his current realm and status, and offending either the Gui Sacrificial Sect or the Sword Tower was absolutely out of the question for him.
As an individual cultivator like him, accustomed to surviving in the cracks between major sects, he had long been used to playing dead.
If possible, he would willingly remain a shrinking turtle forever, continuing to pretend to be completely oblivious.
