"What happened?"
Li Yan furrowed his brow slightly, noticing something amiss.
He was the leader of the Twelve Primordial Spirits, and even though he was injured and unconscious, Wang Daoxuan and Sha Lifei could temporarily take charge, any risky operation of dividing forces would indeed need to be discussed with him first before making a decision.
Unless something major happened.
Sure enough, Sha Lifei lowered his voice and said, "Indeed, something did happen."
"The upheaval three days ago caused quite a stir and the news spread all the way to the Capital. The court was furious, and an imperial envoy rushed to Jiangnan, a string of officials were dismissed and investigated — the Yangzhou Prefect, Cao Yun Governor, Commander of the Captain Bureau, even the head of the City God Temple was detained."
"Now the streets and alleys throughout the city are plastered with notices, soldiers are searching every house for remnants, and the Canal Wharf remains blocked."
