"How could this be…." What the lost souls said shattered the unwavering faith that the Ping City citizens had maintained in everything over the years. They dejectedly collapsed onto the ground, their minds blank.
"Why did… Master City Lord… do such a thing… why…"
Almost none of the citizens in Ping City questioned any of Song Yuan's words. They sincerely respected and loved their City Lord who protected them. They were thankful that Heaven had provided them with a guardian spirit like that to accompany them, keeping them free from demon attacks.
But now, everything…
seemed like a colossal joke.
The City Lord they loved and respected had never protected them. He had even… worked with the demons to bring disaster on the citizens of Ping City.
They only suddenly realized it here and now.
