Jin City, under the jurisdiction of the Qiling Governor's Mansion, was the most competitive region for the Martial Arts Examination. Within Jin City, there were thirty-two counties of varying sizes.
In the last Daoist Examination, Yan Zhen had emerged victorious from Jin City, defeating candidates from all thirty-two counties. His name shook the world for a time, and he was accepted as a closed-door disciple by Wei Yongguang, the Commander of the Imperial Guard in the Imperial City.
Everyone had assumed that Yan Zhen would participate in the Provincial Examination a year later.
However, after becoming Wei Yongguang's disciple, all news of him vanished. Now, three years had passed. With another Provincial Examination just one year away, the Yan Family had already confirmed that Yan Zhen would participate, preparing to vie for the title of Jie Yuan.
This year's Martial Arts Examination in Jin City was drawing even more attention than the one in South City.
