Chapter 140: The Demon Being of the Longevity Sect Plans a Big Move

The situation deteriorated faster than Wang Yunxiao had anticipated.

Yang Youxuan, having prayed and worshipped Buddha for half a day, reluctantly told Wang Yunxiao that a master had indeed been found, but would not be able to come until a week later.

By then, the marigolds might as well have cooled down.

No sooner had the police station meeting concluded than news of a grain store being smashed, looted, and burned reached the outside.

According to intelligence summarized from the scene, it seemed that people received news of a fire at an external grain store, worried about a shortfall in the grain supply, and then flocked to buy grain at the store, leading to a bank run.

The grain store owner and several shop assistants were killed on the spot, and tens of thousands of jin of grain were looted.

Wang Yunxiao recalled that the news he had heard before was that a grain store outside the city had burned down ten thousand tons of corn.
