Wanxiang City
This city was so quiet it seemed as if no one lived here. Occasionally, a few guards on patrol could be seen, but even they lacked the imposing rigor of days past.
Only a few New Moon Holy Guards were left behind to guard the city, while most of the Soul Pet Masters with combat power had already joined the war effort. Within the city, the majority of those visible were children, women, the elderly, and others who had not embarked on the path of cultivation.
The Holy Guard Captain of the city's defense was a wandering Soul Pet Master from another realm—Yi Wu. Yi Wu meticulously soared through the skies above Wanxiang City.
All the main forces had already moved to the Heavenly Mountains to confront the enemy. Yi Wu's duty as Holy Guard Captain was to protect this most critical city of the New Moon Land during its weakest moment.
In the sky, a group of Misty Immortal Birds with snowy white wings flew toward Wanxiang City from the southeast.
