A thousand-year dynasty would inevitably face decay, and a hundred-year noble family would eventually return to dust. What in this world could last forever? Was it an Immortal Body, tempered a thousand times, or the Martial Arts will, in Heart Unity with heaven and earth? Chen Mu came to this world, his sword in hand, and when he turned back at dusk, countless heroes and millennium-old Demons had all turned to dust, leaving only one person on the road paved with yellow sand.
In the northwest direction of Wutong Grove District, a large section of the neighborhood belongs to the Zheng Family, featuring a variety of storefronts.
Behind these blocks lies the Zheng Family estate, which occupies a vast area consisting of multiple compounds; such an establishment was not built in one generation but developed gradually over several.
In one of the slightly lower courtyards, there is an arrangement of sandpits, cloth bags, and stone locks for martial arts training, where several men were practicing their skills. Some were from the Zheng Family, and many others were protectors and martial masters hired by the family.
In another quieter courtyard in the distance.
Zheng Hong sat behind a stone table, holding a smoking pipe; he took a puff and said, "A new officer has taken post, and the City Defense Division merely conducts daily drills. There's no need to make a fuss. You may leave."
