It had been a week since the ten cities surrounding Baiyun City had been conquered by the Celestial Heavenly sect.
In Zizhu Prefecture, it was the talk of everyone, both young and old. Even though they got the news just two days ago, it spread like wildfire.
The remaining 37 city lords were both stunned and alerted. No one knew what was happening in their prefecture, so they raised their defenses to the highest.
Moreover, they all complained to the Prefecture Lord. The prefecture lord, the leader of the prefecture, hadn't responded to the rumor, but all the powerful clans had their eyes set on him.
Inside the prefecture capital, the prefecture lord sat on his throne, looking down on all his advisers. The atmosphere inside the hall was tense and palpable.
All the advisers didn't raise their heads; everyone was lost in their thoughts.
