One week later...
After a long sunny day, Clouds City was slowly 'seeing' the sun setting over the local horizon when a large shadow hovered over one side of this city.
Several people noticed this from various points around the city, looking up into the sky to witness a grandiose level 76 beast flying over this territory.
Like any other large city in the Flaming Empire, it was not allowed to fly over the area. So on this cloudless day, several local guards, members of the Gray Clouds Sect, soon became on alert upon witnessing someone with such a powerful beast flying over this territory.
Beasts were difficult to tame and usually only subordinate to those of greater power or skilled tamers.
Hence, upon seeing a level 76 beast, the local guards immediately thought that some sect opponent was there to disrespect and challenge them somehow.
