Boom!
The explosion echoed, plunging the entire Jinling into chaos.
Inside an inn.
"Master... I'm scared!"
Mo Gu was startled awake, curling into Cen Hongyue's embrace with teary eyes.
"Don't be afraid, it's safe here, no more bad people."
Cen Hongyue gently comforted, waving her hand at the same time.
An invisible force opened the door, revealing the pitch-black night and a swathe of crimson in the direction that unmistakably pointed to the Imperial City!
"Are there demons daring enough to attack the Imperial Palace?"
Cen Hongyue widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Master, what should we do?"
Yingzi bit her lip, looking at her master.
"It's nothing..." Cen Hongyue forced a smile, as if comforting her disciples, or perhaps herself: "The invaders' target is the Imperial City, it has nothing to do with us common folk... nothing to do with us..."
Before she finished speaking, a scream echoed from not far away.
"Monster... a monster!"
"The monster is killing people!"
