South of the Magic City, around three hundred kilometers from Hangzhou’s territory along the highway, the group happened to pass by a place called Wanggui Town. They planned to stay for the night there.
The town was prosperous, established at a relatively higher altitude. The rise of the sea level had not bothered the town. It had even given the town a great view of the sea.
The desolate new seafront was around twenty kilometers to the east of the town. The place did not rely much on the sea. It had a freshwater lake behind it as its main source of water.
“The scenery is pretty nice here. I didn’t know there was a town in this area. It should be quite interesting to stay here for the night,” Zhao Manyan said.
Some towns would appear along the highway when one least expected it. They could see roofs with special colors, bays with crystal clear water serving as hidden lands of peace and prosperity outside the reach of modern cities and industrial zones. This Wanggui Town was such an example. It was more enjoyable to visit it than just take a quick glimpse at it, as it surprised the group with its elegance and peacefulness.
There was a checkpoint at the town’s entrance. They saw a few members of the Magic Association in their uniforms working together with the traffic police.
“I’m sorry, Wanggui Town isn’t receiving tourists for now. Please go somewhere else if you are not a Mage.” A traffic policeman signaled the group to keep moving along the highway.
“We are Mages. Did something happen at Wanggui Town?” Mo Fan piped up.
“Why do you bother asking? We are just passing by anyway. Let’s forget it if we can’t spend the night here,” Jiang Shaoxu sighed and shook her head.
“The Enforcement Union is conducting an investigation in the town. You may enter the town, but you’ll need to put your information down,” a member of the Magic Association said.
“Enforcement Union?” Mo Fan was surprised.
If the Enforcement Union was in charge of the investigation, it must be something serious, potentially a huge threat.
“Time to go, we are leaving. Mo Fan, don’t tell me you’re thinking of being a busybody again. The Enforcement Union will take care of the situation here!” Zhao Manyan said quickly.
“That’s right, is there any place that’s not feeling pressured from the coastline coming inland at a time like this?” Jiang Shaoxu said.
Lingling took out a map and said, “This Wanggui Town is quite close to our destination, Dawn Island. If we don’t rest here, our next option is Changlu Town, which is around a hundred kilometers away.”
“That far away?” Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed.
“Mm, the places around here are empty. Wanggui Town is the only town in this area,” Lingling said.
“We’ll rest up here then. We are Mages anyway, are we afraid of some petty demon creatures?” Mo Fan said.
“Fine, we’ll spend the night here.”

The group put down their information and went into the town to stay for the night. They were planning to regroup with Mu Bai, who was coming from Fanxue Mountain to meet them.
The town seemed perfectly fine when they arrived. Many common folk were still on the streets. The restaurants and shops were operating, too.
