As a minor interlude, this matter was clearly of no significant consequence.
By this time, Jin Xu Diao Tower had become the high-society gathering place for the social elites of the Thirteen Cities of the Northern Ring, with a constant stream of visiting guests flaunting their wealth and expertise. Amongst these visitors were not only martial arts masters but also a predecessor from the Cultivation World recognized by Zhuge Qing, who had come to congratulate the King of Han.

Here, as long as your status and position reached a certain class, you had to consider paying a visit to the King of Han to show your loyalty. Otherwise, even if you lived in the Thirteen Cities of Beiliang, you wouldn't truly be a part of it.

Beiliang.
