Taiping City.
This was a city in Yan State, located relatively close to Lan State. Any news from Jinyun City in Lan State would reach here quickly.
"Have you heard? In this war between the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty and the Jin Meng Empire, some peerless, ruthless guy appeared and killed the Jin Meng Empire's Martial Saint Ancestor. Just slaughtered him like a chicken!"
"You've got to be kidding! An expert like a Martial Saint, getting killed by someone?"
"Don't tell me you don't believe it! This news came from the second son of the second grand-uncle of a friend of my brother-in-law, who's a soldier in Jinyun City. It's absolutely true!"
"Let me tell you, with a chain of connections that long, there's no way it's true!"
"The story's true! It's already spread everywhere!"
"The Jin Meng Empire and the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty are in a truce now. That part's undeniable, right?"
"I've heard about that, but hasn't it been confirmed yet?"
