Numerous martial artists in blue stood around the distant courtyard, guarding another group of martial artists in their midst.
The captives were brought before the blue-clad leader one by one. Zhao Er watched as the leader placed a medicinal pill into each captive's mouth.
As each pill entered their bodies, Zhao Er, standing on high ground in the distance, could clearly see their auras surge through his Thousand Mechanisms Eye Art.
Once a captive's aura surged after swallowing the pill, another blue-clad martial artist escorted them out of the courtyard and locked them in a room nearby.

After watching for only a short while, Zhao Er immediately understood what the people in that courtyard were doing.
No wonder the battle at the City Lord's Residence had dragged on until now. No wonder these people could immediately spare fighters to intercept Senior Sister Li Qi, even with so many attendants accompanying her as reinforcements.
