The Capital City was destined for a restless night.
It was approaching dawn, and the crowing of the city's chickens was drowned out by the clattering of iron armor.
The news that Consort Shu had been assassinated by Lin Yu of the Shenxiao Sect spread rapidly. Consequently, a vast number of troops were mobilized, unbeknownst to the common folk, to search for the remnants of the Shenxiao Sect within the Capital City.
When the news reached Zhao Jing's ears, he was dumbfounded.
He had been preparing an ambush on the Shenxiao Sect members in the Heavenly Prison, aiming to capture Fang Yu and Lin Yu, the two most likely to stage a prison break. He had specially requested the help of Enlightened Realm Acolyte Zhao Feng, who was on good terms with him and a supporter of his faction. In times of great need, Zhao Feng would surely exert great effort.
