Lin Rui had known long ago that there was a demonic dragon in Wang City Prefecture, which was a severe thorn in the side for Wang City.
It was said that this monster was as high as the sixth realm, possessing the royal bloodline, and had once ravaged the downstream areas of the Tianxiang River, causing floods, disrupting navigation, extorting tributes and blood meals from the riverside residents, and blackmailing merchants for their money and valuables.
Until a few months ago, when the dragon was severely injured by the joined forces of the Prefectural Governor and others.
Unfortunately, the dragon managed to escape and had been hiding without trace beneath the Tianxiang River.
In order to prevent the dragon from retaliating, Wang City Prefecture had no choice but to station thousands of its soldiers on the river embankments, staying armed and vigilant day and night, forcing even the local Capital Commandant to patrol the riverbanks incessantly, not daring to leave his post.
