Capital City.

Early the next morning, Liang Sheng, yawning, arrived at the bookstore, only to see Old Zhang with the same lack of energy and a bitter smile after seeing him.

They had been up all night with the disturbance and hadnt slept much, but they still had to get up early to do business as usual.

Only by doing so could they prove that their conscience was clear and untroubled this was the wisdom of life. Old Zhangs impression of Liang Sheng thus improved.

This young man could get by.

However, neither of them was in the mood for idle chatter. The surrounding merchants were in much the same state, but none dared say anything.

After all, with a current princes misfortune and a citywide manhunt, how dare they gossip at this time, thinking their lives too long?

Lying in the bookstore, Liang Sheng observed the current situation with a detached gaze. Still, he had not expected the Lifeless Sect to be so bold as to make such chaos across the entire capital. Who gave them the courage?

Liang Sheng couldnt figure it out, and the number of constables and soldiers on the street was increasing. Since the emperor had already become angry, they could only break the case as soon as possible.

Only by quickly capturing the remnants of the No-Life Evil Cult can they minimize the impact; thus, the efficiency of the officials mansion was extremely high this time.

Jingzhao Mansions Prefect cut the Gordian knot, directly inviting the local gang leaders from all areas of the capital into the mansion.

As the court had little patience left and the matter concerned imperial dignity, the Prefect of Jingzhao Mansion assembled information on the gang leaders in no time, which proved effective.

Soon, the West City and Southern City were heavily guarded. Yang Xu from the Six Fan Gate personally took action, wiping out several strongholds of the Lifeless Sect, and a considerable number of church members were killed on the spot.

However, this was just an appetizer. The entire capitals efficiency had skyrocketed, and finally, through connections, they found the location of the Lifeless Sects upper echelons in the East City.

This time, however, things did not go as smoothly as before. Nine Cities Army Commander Fu An nearly lost his life, but thanks to Yang Xus timely support, he escaped disaster.

The intense fighting in East City lasted the entire afternoon. The Five Armies Commanders Mansion mobilized three major battalions of troops, cooperating with the Six Fan Gate and the Nine Cities Army Commander, to finally suppress the remnants of the Lifeless Sect.

From this, one could imagine how fierce the battle was. Even so, one of the eight master-level generals from the Five Armies Commanders Mansion has fallen, and the cost is lamentable.

However, facing the results, the capital didnt let out a sigh of relief but seemed worried.

After all, under the feet of the Heavenly Son, how come the remnants of the Lifeless Sect were so well-hidden in the capital without anyone noticing?

The Jingzhao Mansions Prefect was immediately demoted to Lingnan by the imperial edict. The officials ranked sixth and above in the Six Fan Gate and Nine Cities Army Commander were halved in salary for the year.

However, the results of interrogating the remnants of the Lifeless Sect truly shocked the officials, causing the news to be withheld in the Imperial Study for repeated confirmation of interrogation results.

Because Prince Pingans Mansion was implicated, the relationship between the emperor and Prince Pingan had been somewhat delicate. All the noble families and aristocrats in the capital collectively fell silent, refusing to utter a word.

Moreover, there had been no news from the Imperial Palace for a long time, and Prince Pingans Mansion, starting from that day, closed their doors to visitors, not allowing anyone to leave.

This incident caused an uproar among the common people of the capital. The rumor from years past circulated again in the capital and made the situation seem more sinister and mysterious.

Peaceful Mind Studio.

Old Zhang mysteriously approached Liang Sheng with a hesitant expression. Liang Sheng ignored this, and Old Zhang finally couldnt help himself.

I say, Little Liang, how can you be so mature at such a young age? Young people should be vibrant; arent you curious about the capitals secrets?

Liang Sheng arranged the books on the shelf without turning his head, Not interested, as for whether Im young, you can ask the ladies in Dusty Garden.

You Old Zhang was speechless. He wanted to go to Dusty Garden, but thinking of the tigress at home, how dare he be reckless?

It was good to be young. Seeing Liang Shengs leisurely state, he couldnt help but feel envious. However, he quickly snapped back to reality was this the purpose of his visit?bender

Fine, then let me tell you about the events of fifty years ago when the late emperor suddenly passed away without leaving any offspring behind. Do you know which prince was at the highest position for succession?

Liang Sheng didnt turn his head, so Old Zhang could only go on by himself, At that time, the highest position was actually Prince Pingan. However, for some reason, the final edict was for the current emperor, and Prince Pingan became the head of the clan of the royal family.

Back then, it was rumored that the current emperor altered the edict and took the throne. Thats why the situation in the capital is now so mysterious.

Little Liang, let me tell you, it doesnt matter what kind of business you do in the capital, you have to keep your eyes open, only then can you live a safe life.

Old Zhang was still rambling on while at this moment, Liang Sheng suddenly turned around, Old Zhang, you have said too much; this is not something we can talk about carelessly.

Old Zhang shook his head, 1 may not be good at many things, but I have an accurate judgment of people. If I didnt think that you were honest and sincere, do you think I would tell you all these things?

I would never say so much if I didnt see you as an honest and trustworthy person. You havent been in the capital for a long time; the capital is a place where youll understand that all sorts of creatures lurk in the more time you spend here.

So how do you see that I am honest and sincere?

Old Zhang didnt answer, but before leaving, he gave Liang Sheng a meaningful glance. He then returned to his steamed bun shop with composure.

Liang Sheng hadnt reacted yet when he saw that there was one less book on the counter. With a bitter smile, he couldnt help but think, wasnt he indeed an honest person?

However, Old Zhang was right. The events in the capital were indeed strange during this time, and even Liang Sheng was finding it difficult to see through them.

Previously, when Chen Sheng and Ye An of the Lifeless Sect were secretly talking, they were intimate and close. How could they allow the court to catch them so easily?

Liang Sheng even briefly visited the stronghold where Chen Sheng had been before, and Chen Sheng was still there, unscathed.

This means that this time, the Lifeless Sects actions dont seem as simple as they appear on the surface. Liang Sheng even faintly sensed the smell of a trap.

After reaching the innate cultivation level, Liang Sheng became more sensitive to the so-called Qi, and at this moment, the capital had an increasingly ominous atmosphere. The higher the cultivation level, the more oppressive it felt.

For a while, the situation in the capital became increasingly complicated. Even the Five Armies Commanders Mansion began to mobilize troops frequently, as if brewing a massive storm.

In this strange situation, a rumor suddenly spread through the capital, making Liang Sheng even more uncertain.

The rumor was that the current emperor was getting old and, due to the matter with Prince Pingan, had an anger-induced heart attack and was already very ill.

This news spread like the wind, instantly reaching every corner of the capital. Even Old Zhang, who usually joked in front of Liang Sheng, dared not speak nonsense anymore.

The atmosphere in the capital became increasingly sharp, and for several days, the capital remained eerily calm. However, that night, Liang Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the dark, moonless clouds outside the window, he murmured, A moonless and windy night for murder, the earth emits murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land.

Tonight, it seemed that trouble was coming.

Thinking of this, Liang Sheng quietly got up and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace.. There seemed to be a gathering of dragon energy, the aura of war, thick to the extreme!
