Dongling City.
When the sky began to show the pale blue of a crab shell, this millennia-old city was still asleep in the thin mist, with golden clouds appearing in the eastern sky.
Jiang Ning transformed into a stream of deep blue light, hovering above this ancient city.
At this moment, he seemed like a Night Patrol Deity, with a bluish aura emanating from his body.
In his observations, the figures below displayed different states.
Some had weak auras, like a small candle flame — those were ordinary merchants and laborers.
Some were like burning torches, emitting light and heat; they were the patrol soldiers and the warriors guarding the city walls.
Others were like a blazing bonfire, full of scorching energy; these were the military officers.
There was also an existence as powerful as a furnace, whose presence he could feel even from a distance.
Jiang Ning gazed deeply in the direction of that furnace-like presence and then withdrew his gaze.
