At the Prefectural Commandant’s manor in Mountain-Edge City.
Prefectural Commandant Cheng Xingba was previously a Fourth Grade high-level official who had retired from the present-day imperial court. His Cheng Family was considered among the most influential and powerful in Mountain-Edge City.
By the time Lu Sheng, Chen Ying, Ouyang Ningzhi, and Elder Wang had arrived at this Manor, it was already evening.
The Prefectural Commandant’s Manor had long since received news of their coming and lit up the entrance brilliantly. Various servants stood in formation outside its main doors to welcome the few guests.
Besides them, there was also a rotund, strapping military official with a bulging tummy by the entrance. He stood there waiting with his hands resting on the hilt of his saber that hung at his waist.
The moment Crimson Whale Sect’s horse carriage arrived, this potbellied military official rushed forward.
