After leaving the river-shore city, Yohan and Elaine reached their first destination, where one of the branch families was situated.

The Northern Royal Family truly is their backer,' Yohan pondered, noticing multiple cultivators inside the settlement. However, all of them possessed insignificant cultivation bases.
