On the second floor of the tavern.
Beside a table by the window, wind and rain lifted the white-robed woman's cloak, revealing a glimpse of peerlessly beautiful features.
Unfortunately, there were few patrons in the tavern, most of them travelers from elsewhere. With the capital in chaos, no one was in the mood to admire a beauty.
Bai Weiwei drained the last of her warm wine, then walked toward the imperial city through the unbroken drizzle.
As she strolled through the rain and entered the street before the imperial city, however, she found Yuan Dynasty soldiers' corpses strewn along the way.
Something seemed to have charged through them like a sudden storm of wind and rain.
Directly ahead of her, the palace gates of Dadu's imperial city looked as though something had smashed them open with brute force. The gates lay shattered, blood covering the ground.
She mastered her surprise and stepped forward through the bloody scene, entering the imperial city.
Once inside the palace grounds, she found palace servants and soldiers fleeing in panic everywhere.
Their faces were terrified, as though they had experienced something horrific.
Looking at the absurd scene before her, Bai Weiwei murmured to herself.
"I heard a dozen or so riders were causing trouble, but judging by this, surely someone has raised troops in rebellion."
A dozen or so riders? How could they possibly overrun the palace of a powerful dynasty!
"Or perhaps someone with supernatural powers is wreaking havoc in the Mortal Realm."
At the thought of that possibility, her expression turned cold.
Although she was not from the Yuan Dynasty and did not much like this dynasty either.
It was, after all, a mortal dynasty. The Heavenly Court did not permit those with supernatural powers to rely on their strength to wreak havoc
