Jiang Jichen hadn't expected such a coincidence. A battle was raging in the very transit town marked on his map.
It wasn't just Jiang Jichen's group of four; several other groups were also approaching the town.
These people, however, stopped to watch the fight, with no intention of getting involved.
After all, the attacking party was very strong, nearly a hundred people in total. They seemed to be a coalition of three factions, incomparably powerful.
"These bandits, once they take the town, will set up a checkpoint here. Anyone who passes through will have to pay an astonishing toll."
"So if we want to pass through later, does that mean we'll have to pay the toll?"
"What can we do? They're far stronger than us. People like us are just entering the New Domain to try our luck, hoping to find a few rare Spirit Medicines."
...
The crowd behind them murmured amongst themselves, standing at the town's entrance, not daring to move forward.
