— Thousand Treasure City —
Amidst the throng of traffic, flying arks ranging from the size of a skiff to the size of a castle moved back and forth through the sky.
A large and opulent flying ark adorned with gold and spirit jade slowly docked at the private sky port that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion had prepared.

Within the study room, Ximen Hao, who was already responsible for many of the family matters, was reading a report. This was the report of their operation against the Murong Clan over the past few months.
