What Li Hongyun hadn't expected was that after he had chosen his innate abilities, the trial didn't start immediately; instead, a kind of cutscene played first.
He was originally at the city wall of Cen Bridge Inn, but the moment the trial began, his vision swiftly ascended, overlooking the entire city.
He could clearly see that Cen Bridge Inn seemed to have erupted into chaos!
The usual stream of merchants had suddenly dwindled significantly, and those that remained hurried along. These merchants typically traveled north, passing through the two official roads north of Cen Bridge Inn, continuously heading to the northern strongholds, and some well-connected traders even managed to cross the borders patrolled by the Qi Army to conduct smuggling businesses with Jin Country.
But now, a large number of merchants began fleeing south instead.
Some were escaping to the Capital City Da Liang or even further to the distant south.
