Fufeng County City, Northern Desert Commercial Association Residence.
The drunken merchant, embracing a beautiful dancer in his arms, had long since fallen into a deep sleep within his room, while the martial artists hired by the association were each meditating in their own rooms. Most of them came from the desert bandits of the Great Desert. Although they were now in this prosperous foreign city, they hadn't slackened in the least, acting as if they were still amidst the yellow sands of the desert, never leaving their swords behind.
The caravan's helpers, carrying lanterns, wandered around the large house to keep watch at night.
Their martial arts were not very strong, knowing only some common moves. Walking back and forth on night watch, they were mainly there to guard against possible thieves and prevent the slaves from escaping.
