In the Human Realm, Yue Qianqian rode from the Liudao Division towards the residence of Marquis Guanjun. She noticed many people on the streets burning incense and divine figurines.
Without even looking, Yue Qianqian knew those were the statues and tokens of Duchenghuang.
As she traveled, she found this scene was the same in every household.
To facilitate the burning, many people were using axes to chop the wooden tablets and statues into pieces, then piled them up to burn.
This caused plumes of black smoke to billow into the sky along the way.
But there were also some people who were futilely trying to stop them.
"—You can't burn them! You cannot do this."
"Damn it! Duchenghuang has protected the Capital City for three hundred years, and we've been safe and unharmed, even when the Meng Wu soldiers threatened to invade thirteen years ago. You people have forgotten gratitude!"
