The target Chu Zhiyuan was attacking was located in the center of the Mingluan Avenue in the Outer City, at the end of a narrow alley heading south.
Once exiting the South Gate of the Inner City, one would reach the Mingluan Avenue in the Outer City.
The hustle and bustle of Mingluan Avenue surpassed that of Phoenix Avenue in the Inner City.
It was slightly more chaotic, not as clean and tidy as the Inner City; the ground was paved with bluestone slabs instead of white stone.
The street was densely lined with various shops and stalls, with pedestrians weaving in and out like shuttles.
Chu Zhiyuan and his companions moved through the crowd like swimming fish, without any obstruction, maintaining their speed, and turned left in the middle of Mingluan Avenue into an alley.
