The following day, news that the imperial army was planning to hold a meeting with the Celestial Heavenly Store spread rapidly throughout the Soaring Cloud Region.
The information was unveiled by the various city lords to the Celestial Heavenly Stores in their respective cities. With the army showing a willingness to meet the store's upper echelon, the region was abuzz with speculation.
All eyes were fixed on the store, waiting to see their response. Would they agree to meet with the imperial army, or would they choose to ignore them?
Many hoped the store's leadership would take this opportunity to meet with the army, while others remained skeptical.
While the public eagerly awaited a response from the Celestial Heavenly Store, the clan leaders in Dongping City held a secret meeting in a concealed location.
"What do you think we should do?" the Wei Clan Master asked gravely, his voice laced with concern.
