Within Anbei Province's Central City, the Municipal Council tightened its control over Central City and the surrounding fringe cities.
They also dispatched multiple Third Limit Fighters to every fringe city, leaving no room for any unexpected developments there.
Anbei Province's situation differed from that of South-of-the-Mountains Circuit, West-of-Long Circuit, and Hedong Province. In South-of-the-Mountains Circuit, the Purity Faction had already held a certain advantage, and with White Aunt's fall from power, it became the first to be taken.
West-of-Long Circuit, meanwhile, was the Implant Faction's territory. Joining Skyline represented an alliance between the Implant Faction and the Purity Faction. The Conservative Faction was dissatisfied with this outcome, but they also knew they could not stop it.
However, Hedong Province's situation had truly alarmed them.
After Gui Zihan returned from the Visiting Delegation, he immediately sought an important post. As a Fighter who had rendered meritorious service, those above could not possibly obstruct him.
After obtaining the position, he swiftly contacted the Defense Department and Wu Yi Academy, successfully suppressing the Municipal Council's other Fighter and forcibly pushing forward Hedong Province's plan to join Skyline.
At the time, Hedong Province's Municipal Council had not completely given up. The Fighter guarding the Convergence Zone was from the Essence Refinement School. Taking advantage of the Old Imperial Household's reluctance to attack during negotiations, the council had that man find a way to return to Central City and join forces with the Municipal Council's Fighter against Gui Zihan.
But they had never expected that, after merely a year, Gui Zihan's strength would have increased so dramatically after returning from the Linax Federation.
