A Spy Fell, a Celestial Appeared, and an Urgent Report Arrived; Mohist Strife and Chu's Invasion Threw the Board into Chaos

Lord Wuwei Mansion, once rather quiet, grew lively with the arrival of the women.

Zhao Cheng returned to days filled with delicious food, dance, and music.

Duan Yu was no longer left to shoulder everything alone, either. Under cover of night, she now had a partner to fight alongside her.

But those days didn't last long.

"My lord, half the spies sent out by the Blood Garment Tower have been eliminated. Every one of them was a skilled fighter."

"Even Blood Witch and Bone Sha died in Yan and Wei."

Zhao Cheng was taken aback.

How had they suddenly died?

Seeing Zhao Cheng frown, Duan Yu spoke up. "Ever since the so-called immortals began appearing in various places some time ago, the Blood Garment Tower's agents have been conducting intensive investigations. From then on, more and more of them started getting eliminated."

"The attackers don't all belong to a single faction. They include Mohist School experts, Cold Cicada from Yan's Secret Agents, great shamans from Chu, the immortals who appeared out of nowhere, and even people from the Sword Hut..."

This was strange. When he had visited the Sword Hut, its patriarch had said the Sword Hut could not interfere in worldly affairs. Jianlongzi had even tried to assassinate the King of Qin, and the patriarch had expelled him
