Inside the main tent, Li Xuancang and Zhou Xingzhan spoke for a long while, laying out several plans.
"Demons have been appearing in the city lately, throwing the people into a panic. You'll personally take charge of affairs within the city and stabilize the situation as soon as possible."
A large number of civilians had entered the commandery city, sparking no small number of conflicts with the original residents.
What was worse, demons had taken advantage of the chaos to slip in, spreading panic.
The entire commandery city was like a powder keg, ready to ignite at the slightest spark.
The government officials lacked the strength to suppress the situation and could only seek the military's aid. Zhou Xingzhan handed this heavy responsibility to Li Xuancang.
"This subordinate accepts the order."
Everyone else kept their distance from Demons, yet Li Xuancang knowingly walked toward the tiger's mountain.
He was always thinking of earning merit and showed no hesitation whatsoever.
Li Xuancang accepted the order without delay, and Zhou Xingzhan looked deeply gratified.
After Zhou Xiong left, he had lost his right-hand man. Fortunately, Li Xuancang had promptly filled the gap, and he secretly counted himself lucky.
Zhou Xingzhan cautioned, "Many forces in the commandery city are deeply entrenched. Some Demons are even raised by them. When dealing with those people, you must be extremely careful."
The commandery city was a mixed bag of fish and dragons. There were great clans like the Zhang Family, whose influence spread throughout Profound Sun Commandery, as well as gangs like the Iron Sword Sect, backed by Astral Qi Realm experts.
In recent years, Great Yan Imperial City had been declining day by day, its control over its territory growing ever weaker. These local tyrants no longer even regarded the imperial court with any respect.
