"By then, Beitianmen and Baiyang Academy will legitimately intervene, threatening the eternal rule of Chaoyang City."
"Can this matter be suppressed like this?"
Baili Youqin was burning with rage, his breath fluctuating.

He finally secured the position of Lord of Chaoyang City. This led to the legend of the sword breaking the three gates, Canglan slaying the demon and merging with the Dao.
