"I really didn't expect they would dare to challenge the great celestial master. No wonder, no wonder!"
Within a concealed base of the Mire Sect, the Sect Leader, Zhao Baiyang, wears an expression of sudden understanding.
Since the day they left Tiandu, the Mire Sect Leader and others promptly scattered in different directions.
Even though they were powerful enough not to fear pursuit, they each had a large number of subordinates. If they were truly besieged by the imperial court's army, then fears were that, besides them, no one could escape.
During this period, Zhao Baiyang contrived a tactic to break up the forces of the Mire Sect, each to hide and evade the hunt. He himself chose to hide in a secret base, to recover from his injuries.
Even though the Lawlessness had been lost in the battle that day, there were still other powerful forces within the imperial city.
