Chapter 959: Sending Off a Daughter

Trade routes were severed, businesses halted, and with the arrival of the Blood Cloak Guard of the Capital Guard Yamen, the bustling Guangping County town fell into a state of lockdown, both internally and externally, overnight.

Two fifth-tier Martial Ancestors personally took command, summoning the elite troops stationed at Xilao Pass to seal off the entire county, launching a large-scale comprehensive investigation.

One of the Martial Ancestors also brought a special Magic Artifact for demon identification.

Wang Chen hadn't expected the Capital Guard Yamen to take the case so seriously, their approach was almost to digging three feet into the ground, not stopping until every suspect was unearthed.

It was only later that he learned, it was precisely because he had discovered the Demonic Ascension Pool underneath the Peony Pavilion that the Capital Guard Yamen took extreme measures, sending elites as they reported up to the Imperial Capital.
