The East Gate of Luoping City.
City Lord Xu Hongbo stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
Behind him, nine jet-black Flood Dragons lay prostrate on the ground, harnessed to a bronze chariot intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes.
Xu Hongbo stepped aboard the chariot and waved his hand.
The nine dragons let out a low, draconic roar in unison, soaring into the sky and pulling the chariot southward.
He was heading to the East Sea Shore this time to attend a banquet held by the Sea Race.
He would also discuss a joint effort between their two races to combat the Deep Sea Sea Demons.
As he flew, Cultivators on the ground who saw the nine-dragon chariot would stop and bow, their faces filled with reverence.
Whether due to his status as a City Lord or his strength at the Celestial God Realm Peak,
no one in this part of the Southern Continent dared to show him disrespect.
Halfway through his journey, a figure in white suddenly flew toward him.
