The forty-seventh year of Hongguang, January 6.
Five days after the ceremony to worship Heaven ended, Yun Shu was finally preparing to return.
The Rectification Law Pavilion sent a True Person to oversee the Great Luo Sect.
Of course, this True Person did not handle any affairs within the Great Luo Sect, nor did he possess any authority.
He represented the imperial court's supervision of the Great Luo Sect!
Even if this supervision held only superficial significance, it was still enough to change many things.
Just as Yun Shu would preside over the annual ceremony to worship Heaven alongside Tai Yu from then on.
After the True Person from the Rectification Law Pavilion arrived, Yun Shu led Li Fei and the others away from the Great Luo Sect. They boarded a Special Train in Great Luo Town and returned to Lanling City.
On the train, Lü Wenxing took the opportunity to give Li Fei a rough explanation of what had happened during this period. "Seeing you immersed in cultivation all day before, my lord, I did not disturb you. But now that we have left the Great Luo Sect and are about to return to the capital, I feel there are some things you should know."
From his account, Li Fei learned what had happened over the past two months:
The Great Luo Sect's influence over the Great Blue Dynasty extended beyond Ming Province. Seven or eight provinces had people from the Great Luo Sect in their Bureaus of Impartial Justice.
Over the past two months, while Yun Shu held down the fort at the Great Luo Sect, the imperial court had been cutting away the Great Luo Sect's "tentacles" outside.
In just over two months, the Bureaus of Impartial Justice in more than a hundred cities had been purged!
