Han Li received the ring and put it on without hesitation.
The old man smiled and said, "Good, you can now enter the city. During the day, there will be free movement, but there is an enforced curfew at night. When the battle starts, the ring will notify you. You can wait in your cave residence until then." After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes once more and appeared to drift off.
After taking a deep glance at the old man, Han Li entered the city.
Not only were the streets of the city desolate, but he only occasionally caught glimpses of other cultivators in flight. The empty city made for dreary scenery.
Han Li's expression remained calm, but he inwardly rejoiced. From the apparent circumstances, the city market must certainly have been shut down. Had he not taken the time to make his preparations in Southclear Island, he would've surely suffered quite the headache.
Han Li softly chuckled before flying through the air towards his cave residence on Sage Mountain.
