At Border Dragon City, when Ye Chen returned with Mengmeng, he saw that the city was heavily guarded and filled with killing intent.
Groups of imperial guards from the City Governor's Mansion went around capturing the people on the streets. For a time, all sorts of cries of grievances rang out.
While Ye Chen looked surprised, he heard a few ordinary people talking among themselves.
"It's said that half an hour ago, a mysterious person killed many paragons of the high sects in succession. As a result, the City Governor's Mansion became furious and mobilized the imperial guards to capture that person."
"Not only that, I've also heard that the seven high sects have joined hands to pressure the Xiao clan, ordering them to find the real culprit within three days!"
"It's so miserable, it's so sad. Anyone who wears a conical hat will be captured on the spot if they don't have any identification documents. Someone will be killed if they resist."
