Along with the aboriginals occupying Xueyang City and the commoners experiencing desperation right from the start, everything was gradually calming down after Ren Baqian sent people to convey his message.
Although the people were still fearful and felt like their future was bleak, the aboriginals weren't as brutal and ruthless as they had expected.
Although there were people who had been taken from their homes and beheaded from time to time, they were people who had hidden "rebel soldiers" in their homes. The lives of the commoners were hardly affected at all.
This made many people feel relieved. They continued their daily prayers that life would continue this way and that those barbarians wouldn't harm any innocent commoners.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were trapped in the city, many people would have wanted to leave the city to take shelter. Three or five months later, they would be able to see the true colors of these aboriginals.
