Once Dongling City fell into enemy encirclement, breaking through Hedong's stronghold was as hard as scaling the heavens.
Thus, land prices in Hedong were several times higher than those in West River.
So the residents of West River were mainly ordinary citizens.
Regarding the information about Dongling City, what concerned Jiang Ning the most wasn't anything else but the Nu River that ran through Dongling City, dividing it in two.
With that river there, he had a way out no matter what happened in Dongling City.
Entering the water was his home ground.
Not to mention, after completing eight breakthroughs in swimming, he had acquired new trait enhancements.
[Skill]: Swimming (Eight times broken limit 7888/9000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation Technique+, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Formation and Rainfall, Water Spirit Body, Great Five Elements Water Escape, Lord of Rivers)
The trait of Lord of Rivers allowed him to receive the river's blessing while within it.
