Westheid had given the Qinghui People several days off, but just as the Purity People were gratefully enjoying their holiday, Duke Qinghui himself led a team across the Ying River.
Accompanying him were Yolanda, Mivana, and Shamuel, along with numerous Shadow Fire Technicians and newly promoted members of the Qinghui Guard. The team consisted almost entirely of professional specialists and elite Transcendents, making its overall quality exceptionally high.
Crossing the Ying River only took a minute, but there was a reason why the refugees dared not take a single step over it.
In a way, the Ying River was the final barrier against Chaos. To cross it was to enter the Chaos Domain.
The Chaos Domain was a terrifying region that made mortals tremble at its very name. Once trapped deep inside, one could face a fate even more horrific than death.
Not that such an encounter was common—most would be dead long before it could happen.
