At night, several poisoning and assassination incidents occurred in the capital of An Kingdom, killing more than 20 innocent people and causing much panic again. As a result, the army Gu Shenwei had temporarily assembled was almost defeated.
The renegades of New Moon Hall had intended to assassinate the Managing Master Maid Lotus in the Gulping Wind Gorge, but they had failed and fled. When they realized there was no way out, they went crazy and planned to fight against their enemy in the densely populated capital.
Fortunately, they had some sense and did not use unstopple poison in the capital, but left it at the courier station midway along their journey. Otherwise, the city would be full of corpse, even they would not be spared.
