Ch. 862Black Water
Bai Yujun investigated the sudden appearance of black water in Chengjin Kingdom’s capital and connected it to the Heavenly Army’s distant campaign against fiends. Suspecting the mobilization was a diversion and that danger was gathering nearby, she decided to move her troops away from the city.
- Bai Yujun heard that a True Demon and a large force of fiends had appeared in the northern marshes, while the Heavenly King led the army out to confront them.
- A man drawing water from a well discovered that it had turned black, and reports soon revealed that wells throughout the capital and its surroundings were affected.
- Bai Yujun and Qing Shi examined a well, and Bai Yujun recognized the black water as an ominous, dangerous force she had encountered before.
- Bai Yujun linked the black water to the army’s departure and her earlier clues about Chengjin Kingdom, suspecting that the fiends’ appearance was a diversion.
- Bai Yujun decided to withdraw the Heavenly Soldiers under her command to a safer area and remain ready to retreat.
