Jiang Zhe exposed an attack on Thunder Emperor City after a hidden Apex Treasure parasitized Thunder Marsh King and detonated among the arriving Hong Alliance delegation. As the city’s residents were evacuated and the Mechanical Spirits contained the attackers, Jiang Zhe identified Illusory True Demonic God as the intruder and prepared Great Axe Founder to confront him.
