During the more than half a year Han Zheng was in the Country of Demons, the situation in the Capital City further deteriorated.
When Ji Yuanfang first took the position of Regent King, he only dared to have He Tianxiong cause trouble for Han Zheng.
But as Ji Yuanfang's power grew heavier, he infiltrated the entire central hub of the Capital City, suppressed dissidents at will, and promoted his confidants. Now, Ji Yuanfang is no different from the Emperor.
As the Imperial Family's core strength, the Dragon Martial Bureau now only listens to the orders of Ji Xuanjing, who is the Regent. However, Ji Xuanjing only follows Ji Yuanfang's lead.
The Demon Cleansing Bureau is leaderless, and Elder Chu Tianyuan cannot support it alone. Central Capital Commander Li Zongyuan had long secretly pledged allegiance to Ji Yuanfang, and now He Tianxiong has also become Ji Yuanfang's man.
