A Flying Boat hovered in the sky above Huangyuan Marketplace. It was about seventy yards long, with beautiful, ornate pavilions built upon its deck.
As expensive, large-scale Magical Artifacts, few factions could afford the cost of building and maintaining a large Flying Boat. This one was built by the Chen Family, the Royal Family of the Chen Kingdom. It was rumored that if all the Array Formations on the boat were activated, it could even contend with a Golden Core Cultivator.
Outside San Yuanli, one of the Chen Family's Guests was calling out names. He was a stern, unsmiling middle-aged man with a Late Stage Qi Cultivation. His aura was cold and harsh, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon's. Only after confirming that all fifteen Cultivators on the list had arrived did he take out a smaller Flying Boat.
"I am Yu Yingwu. During the Autumn Defense, you will all obey my orders. Anyone who disobeys will be sent directly to the mines for hard labor."
