Liang Province, Hujue Pass.
This was a grand city, much larger than Wuling City.
Unlike Wuling City, Hujue Pass radiated a grim, murderous aura. The people on the streets were far more rugged than the people of Wuling.
Hujue Pass was in a constant state of war with the savage beasts of the wildlands. Nearly everyone here was a Martial Artist, and experts were innumerable.
A True Essence Realm Martial Artist, a rare sight in Wuling, wasn't exactly commonplace here, but running into one every now and then was not an issue.
Though the city was permeated by an air of martial valor, it was not without its share of decadent nightlife behind closed doors.
Within a sprawling estate in the city, lights blazed brightly long after nightfall, and the sound of string and wind instruments echoed through the courtyard.
"Inspector Wu, I treated you with the utmost kindness and hospitality, yet you do something like this. Don't you think you've gone a bit too far?"
