Chapter 47: The Traitor's Pact
The streets of Dawnriver buzzed with tension. Lin Xuan, at 7th Layer Qi Transformation, gathered evidence to expose the Xun, Hei, Wudu, Bloodshade, and Crimson Claw alliance against the crown.
Liu Yue, now at 3rd Layer Qi Transformation, worked with Bai Ningxue, at 6th Layer Qi Transformation, to seal caches of traitor supplies. Liu Yang, at 9th Layer Body Refining, disabled enemy puppets. Lin Xuan confronted a traitorous general, striking with a precise Severed Crimson Unity Slash.
In the Ji Clan palace, Ji Yunjing, at 3rd Layer Profound Heavenly Realm, ordered arrests despite the defection of a trusted advisor, Ji Weihai. Lin Xuan planted a Crimson Lance Burst trace on a fleeing traitor. "We'll track them down," he said to Liu Yue. "We'll rebuild from this, together," she replied.
