Yunzhou was originally a small, insignificant town in Jiangdong.
The people there had lived ordinary, peaceful lives for generations.
Much like Ye Fan's hometown, Jingzhou, Jiangdong's presence was very weak.
However, after a certain Mr. Chu appeared in Yunzhou so many years ago, the development sped up very rapidly, as though it had hitched a hike on a rocket.
A lot of rich and powerful people in the state started building their company headquarters in Yunzhou.
Why wouldn't they when someone powerful was supporting the city?
Chu Group had a near-total monopoly in Jiangdong. So many people formed connections with some people in the company hoping to get a piece of that juicy pie.
As time went by, Yunzhou's reputation subtly surpassed Jianghai's.
When Ye Fan's reputation was at its peak, everyone in Jiangdong believed that Yunzhou, the place he was living in, was the center of power in Jiangdong.
Of course, the reputation of Yunzhou, Ye Fan's hometown, also grew because of him.
At the moment, it had practically developed into a tourist city. The massive development involved the entire city, making it the third richest city in Jiangdong.
However, peace didn't last long in those two cities.
In the third year after Ye Fan disappeared, a large number of foreigners poured into the country.
First, they went to Jingzhou and burned Ye Fan's hometown to the ground.
Yeyang, the place Ye Fan grew up in, had almost been decimated.
As a result, countless residents of the village became homeless.
A lot of the villagers lost their lives as well.
Of course, that was only the start of the bloody rampage.
Chu Group's branch company in Jingzhou suffered a similar fate.
The whole building was brought down by those people.
Nearly everyone who had a relationship with the Chu family and its businesses was dragged into the mess.
Even though most people were able to avoid the disaster when they got the news in advance, some people were not so lucky.
After all, there were so many people. Hence, some were bound to be caught up in the conflict.
Ye Fan's childhood best friend's parents were those who couldn't escape the calamity.
Before that, many people wouldn't have thought that the Mr. Chu they were proud of would one day be the cause of their deaths.
Yunzhou was under attack as well.
Many citizens in the city died, and Chu Group's headquarters building was reduced to ruins in the conflict.
In order to deal with the uninvited guests, the Commander In Chief of the Jiangdong military base personally led an army to chase them out.
Before the army was deployed, Lu Tianhe, the former Commander In Chief and Ye Fan's best friend, called the current Commander In Chief many times. He desperately tried to stop the army from getting involved, but the new Commander In Chief ignored his warnings.
He stubbornly led the army into the city to wipe out the intruders.
The result wasn't difficult to imagine.
Jiangdong's army was completely decimated by the warriors of Chu Sect.
The Commander In Chief also died in the line of duty.
After learning the news, the command center really regretted the decision.
With no other choice, the higher-ups in the military allowed Lu Tianhe to clean up the mess in Jiangdong.
Upon arriving at Jiangdong, Lu Tianhe reorganized the soldiers who managed to escape the slaughter.
He ordered the soldiers to retreat instead of fighting Chu Sect.
His plan was to withdraw from the fight altogether because there was no chance of success.
