197, the Three Commanderies of Hexi

New Yu Era 1322, August 30

Wanyang County, westward inside the residential houses.

Lu Guanqing, Tong Wudi, Gan Wu, along with more than a dozen white-clad Wanjian Holy Sect members, and the heads of Wanyang County's six third-rate forces were all present. They sat upright, their expressions gravely serious as they watched Gu Tianyun, who sat at the head of the table silent, the air filled with subtle tension.

The reason for their solemnity was that just moments ago, Gu Tianyun had gathered them to pose a question.

What exactly is the Demon Sect's large army waiting for outside?

Since Zhan Taiqing had been repelled on the ninth day of August, for over twenty days, the Demon Sect's large army outside had made no moves whatsoever. The grand army on the city walls remained, and the continuous stretch of tents outside the west gate hadn't disappeared. According to Gu Tianyun, Zhan Taiqing herself had not left.
