The next day.
When sunlight tore through the clouds and descended upon the world, the sleeping earth came alive, growing bustling once more. The people of the Dou Qi Continent began their brand-new day, each in their own way—some devoted to pursuing Dou Qi, some intoxicated by the Path of Alchemy, some delighting in trade and governance...
In short, a brand-new day was full of color and excitement.
Wutan City was rather lively today. Early in the morning, a piece of news swiftly spread through Wutan City like a virus, becoming the hot topic of discussion in streets and alleys: last night, the Jialie Family had been looted!
That was right. It was just such a short piece of news.
According to someone in the Jialie Family with inside knowledge, last night, two mysterious black-robed figures infiltrated the Jialie Family, used knockout drugs to render everyone in the Jialie Family unconscious, then turned the entire Jialie Family upside down. Every valuable item was looted clean, while anything that was not valuable was left completely untouched! In addition, the First-grade Alchemist hired by the Jialie Family had also been killed last night!
After this news spread, in only a moment, the entire city knew of it, leaving people utterly shocked.
The Jialie Family, one of the three great families of mighty Wutan City, had actually been looted by two people? And they had even succeeded?
This news left everyone feeling it was unbelievable. Just who had done it?
This was the doubt in everyone's hearts.
Of course, while they were puzzled, this was not what everyone truly cared about. They knew one thing: the Jialie Family had been looted. To quite a few small families, this was good news, a chance to replace them, so they were all secretly celebrating.
