"I am Muu Guibai of Luoxia City!" The calm, stately voice rang in everyone's minds, waking them from the music's trance.
Everyone looked up, their gazes filled with reverence for the figure poised in the sky. That was the Great City Lord, known as the strongest person below the Golden Core realm.
"Due to petty villains causing chaos, Luoxia City is, from this day forth, open to entry but closed to exit. The city will be sealed for three days. All of you are to return to your homes. Any who engage in private combat will be slain!"
That single word, "slain," sent a bone-deep chill through everyone present. Any sordid thoughts they harbored instantly vanished like smoke, and they all bowed their heads in assent.
And just like that, one of the rare instances of turmoil since Luoxia City's founding was completely quelled.
