The carriage left Beicang Town, heading along the Long'an Trade Route toward Five Peaks Mountain City. The sky was dim, but a fair number of caravans and travelers were still on the move. Despite the recent Beicang Chaos, profit was a powerful motivator, and trade along the route had inevitably resumed.
However, the volume of traffic showed that it had still been significantly affected.
As the carriage traveled the Long'an Trade Route, it would occasionally pass the route's patrol teams. The patrols on this side, near Beicang Town's entrance to the route, were far less stringent than those on the other end. The overall patrol force was much weaker here.
Even so, every patrol squad had an Inner Qi Realm expert overseeing it. Some elite squads even had masters who had reached the Third Stage of Inner Qi: Celestial Rain Falling on the Crown.
Chen Ping'an sat inside the carriage, quietly contemplating the events of the past few days.
'Fifth on the Rising Star Chart!'
