Just as they were about to leave Qi State, they finally heard shocking news. The Emperor Wu of the Dongsheng Empire, also known as Bailong An, was assassinated in the palace.
It is said that the assassin was a person from the Anxiang Liang, and this matter has caused an uproar in the Imperial Court and among the public. Anxiang Liang has been imprisoned, and the entire Anxiang family has been forced to cut ties with the Wu Family's power. Various aristocratic families have stepped forward to distance themselves from the Anxiang family.
