Dragon Mouth Town—Wei Family.
News of the Wei Family being raided by the Garrison Command quickly spread throughout the small town. No one had expected such a thing to happen after the curfew the Wei Family had spearheaded last night.
Many people had differing opinions on the matter.
Some said a younger member of the Wei Family had offended some high-ranking official of the Dynasty, bringing Calamity upon them.
Others said the Wei Family's secret dealings and murderous crimes had been exposed, and the Dynasty could not possibly turn a blind eye.
However, ordinary people found it difficult to distinguish between the Garrison Command being deployed and the nearby Justice Bureau being dispatched. They were entirely different concepts.
The former meant they had definitely touched some taboo, forcing the authorities to send soldiers to encircle and suppress them.
The latter was nothing more than minor trouble, merely maintaining the peace of one area.
"Cult Master, after Fang Qingxin left, she headed straight for the Wei Residence. But when we followed her inside, we found she had already vanished. She must have left through the teleportation array within the Wei Residence."
"As expected, she didn't return to the Creek Moon Sect. Her schemes run deep... I have a faint feeling that this Wei Family has a profound connection to my mother. For all I know, she died because of them."
Jie glanced at Black Robe, who lay unconscious on the bed, and asked, "Cult master, is Lord Black Robe alright?"
"Fang Qingxin's bastard tortured him until he barely looked human these past few days. He only has one breath left in him now. Still, he has pulled through for the time being. He needs to recuperate for a while longer."
"It's all my fault." Jie lowered his head in deep self-reproach.
