This group of emaciated-looking people didn't seem like bandits at all. After all, why would bandits come to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?
A Chief Flag Officer of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau couldn't help but furrow his bushy eyebrows. He asked the group of withered citizens, "What's all this about? Why have you captured these monks for no reason?"
The citizens, once imprisoned, all chimed in with their accounts, each telling of their experiences.
The words they spoke were worthy of scrutiny, flawless without any holes and certainly no fabrication. They sounded... incredibly sincere.
And with every word they uttered, the members of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau were struck with horror, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Could such a thing really have happened at the Longhe Temple, so close to their station?
And they had no idea!
Hiss!
