In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.
With the Three Sects wiped out, Black Iron City regained control of its territory.
This affair also stirred up considerable waves along the southwestern border of Xilin Commandery.
After all, the Three Sects had some renown along the southwestern border, and each had a backer.
Now, they had actually been destroyed by Black Iron City, which had always been weak and chaotic and had nearly failed to preserve even its City Lord's Manor. Naturally, the cultivators in the area were utterly astonished.
The various powers all began gathering information.
Only then did they learn that the man behind all this was Gu Chenfeng, the City Lord of Black Iron City who had taken office several months earlier.
Not long after he took charge, the whole of Black Iron City took on an entirely new look.
Now, he had swept away the Three Sects outright.
Rumor had it that City Lord Gu Chenfeng had not only personally slain the leaders of the Three Sects, but had even killed a Saint Warrior level expert.
Once the news spread, it caused quite a stir along the southwestern border.
Everyone knew that Black Iron City now had a City Lord of formidable strength and iron-fisted methods.
Those who had previously committed evil within Black Iron City's jurisdiction all withdrew.
Some gangs and powers that had followed the Three Sects in invading Black Iron City were also gripped by unease.
However, some speculated that the destruction of the Three Sects might turn the Three Main Cities backing them against Black Iron City.
A new round of war might even break out between the two sides.
While everyone was discussing the matter, with storm clouds shifting over the Northwest Borderlands and the situation still unsettled.
