Dajue Holy Temple, Happy Zen

At this moment, the entire realm of Daqian was steeped in desolation. Every household had shut its doors, unwilling to involve themselves in the chaos that was engulfing the land.

Even the most prestigious inns, teahouses, and elite merchants had closed their businesses, refusing to take part in the turbulence. It was clear to everyone—an era of dynastic change had arrived.

Long before anyone realized, Ye Qingcheng had already taken control of the outer city of the royal capital.

Within the inner city, where the nobility and many of the royal family resided, the growing instability had led to a flurry of royal family members hastily packing their belongings and fleeing.

The members of the Ye family advanced through the city without encountering any resistance. They proceeded straight to the heart of Daqian's royal capital.
