"Our homes are on the outskirts of Wu'an City..."
On the banks of the Green River, several women gathered, kneeling before Chu Liang, begging him to uphold justice. Chu Liang quickly helped them up and asked about what had happened. The woman in red then began to explain.
It turned out that they were all locals of Wu'an City in their previous lives, mostly commoners' daughters, with two from the brothel. They had their own separate lives, no intersections. The reason they came here was because they all fell victim to the same demon.
"That man is Su Wei, the son of Su Shengyan, the lord of Wu'an City..."
The lord of a city possesses all important authority except for military power, and is the highest-ranking person in the city, often directly referred to as the "City Lord." And the son of the city lord is the top second-generation of this place.
