On August 3rd, the government offices in various places posted announcements early in the morning, stating that Li Yan, a high-ranking defender from the Dragon Tiger Mountain, had been ordered by Taiyi Pavilion to exterminate the Fuhai Great Sage, in order to appease the public's heart. Officials and soldiers were dispatched to patrol the towns and villages of each county, and anyone who had privately set up obscene temples, or even sacrificed livestock, boys, or girls, was to be immediately arrested and prosecuted.
The common people of each county town, upon hearing that the government had posted announcements about the slaying of demons, came to see them early in the morning, with some of the rural commoners even making a special trip to town for this.
"At last, the Heavenly Master Tao has sent someone, now we can be saved."
"In the past, whenever the government posted an announcement, it was almost always able to control the floods."
"Hey, don't push at the front!"
