Daqian, Year Seven of the Mingjing Era. The ninth day of the third month. Auspicious for breaking ground, inauspicious for burials.
On this day, the front of the Jingwu Bureau Office was buzzing with activity. Before noon, the surrounding streets were already packed to the brim with Martial Artists from all walks of life, blocking all passage.
The nearby restaurants and teahouses were packed to capacity, filled with a clamor of voices as everyone fervently discussed the impending battle.
After a month of brewing, this duel had long since become the center of attention throughout Ning'an Prefecture.
This battle was not just about the victory or defeat of two Chaoyuan realm Martial Masters; it also involved the pride of two major powers. On one side was the Iron Sword Sect, which had shown signs of decline in recent years but still possessed a deep foundation. On the other was the Jingwu Bureau, whose authority grew daily, hanging over the Jianghu like a sharp sword.
