Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing's inquiry, everyone hesitated and instinctively turned their gazes to Wang Boan, who was seated at the head of the table.
Wang Boan chuckled, "The strong ones who returned from Tianhuang are stationed at the other two military cities and will be here tonight to meet with the National Master."
The Great Ming imperial court had three military cities under its command. Wang Boan was stationed at the main city, with the remaining two cities manned by members of the Great Ming imperial court in collaboration with the Witch Deity Teaching and the powerful ones from Heart Moon Lake, to guard against sudden attacks from the Demon Race.
Of course, whether this reason was true or not, it didn't seem worthwhile to discuss publically.
Upon hearing this reason, Pei Xuanjing smiled slightly, unimpressed.
Xue Hanyi, sitting on the side, scoffed, "Still putting on airs!"
