Shortly after the return of normal temperature, the Officials swiftly razed most of the private sanctuaries in the City Center's vicinity.
Announcements and self-governance of private sanctuaries were ignored by the officials. Since martial artists dared to occupy these sanctuaries by force, they could not blame the officials for doing the same.
However, the officials did not act excessively this time. No soldiers were sent for those sanctuaries that never changed hands, such as the Nameless Mountain, or Dong Tianyu's sanctuary that hung its name for all to see.
This operation led to the disappearance of over ninety percent of the sanctuaries outside the Pengville city zone.
Just like wild grass in spring, however, even if you burn them all, they will grow back before long.
That is why the Airdrop Faction's retaliation did not affect those sanctuaries that had never changed hands, like Dong Tianyu's.
