The officials of Marseille Commandery and Florida City were sitting on pins and needles, gripped by both fear and alarm.
They had never imagined that such an evil band of Soul Masters had been hiding within their jurisdictions for so long.
Now that the news had spread far and wide, their greatest fear was a thorough investigation ordered from above.
At the very least, they would be charged with negligence. Their careers might even end here, leaving them in a constant state of dread.
They even went to the Chen Clan and the two beauties of the Xue family to plead for help.
This later sparked a sweeping, self-initiated crackdown on criminal forces across the commanderies of Fasno. One by one, the Crimson Church's transit stations and contact points throughout Fasno Province were destroyed.
Those once-arrogant Evil Soul Masters trembled in this storm, with nowhere to hide.
The actions of the commandery officials could be seen as an attempt to make up for their earlier inaction, earning merit to offset their faults and salvage some dignity.
In truth, the Chen Clan played a crucial role.
By cross-checking intelligence painstakingly gathered over many years against the secret yet vital clues found at Sea Lake Manor, the Chen Clan provided solid support for the crackdown, allowing it to proceed with precision and efficiency.
The influence of this crackdown was not even confined to Fasno Province. Like falling dominoes, it spread to neighboring Provincial States.
At the heart of this storm, the Crimson Church suffered devastating losses in the Greater Northwest, its vitality severely depleted.
The enormous underground forces through which the Crimson Church had once entrenched itself in the Greater Northwest now tottered beneath this tide of justice, teetering on the brink of collapse.
