Chapter 285: Turmoil

After bidding farewell to the elderly in the Water God Temple, Lu Xun and his two companions continued on their way to Mountain Luoxia. Along the road, witnessing villages where nearly all the homes were deserted, and the uncollected white bones scattered by the roadside, they truly realized that a time of chaos had indeed arrived.

What they did not know was that, in this brief period, the entire world had already become a complete mess. With the Emperor's death and the Crown Prince's disappearance, the so-called rightful order had vanished.

The Noble Families and Clans had been waiting for many years for this opportunity, and now they crazily attacked the Rebel Army under the guise of being loyal defenders of the throne. To the uninformed, this rabid state would surely make them seem like the most faithful of subjects.
