King Xiang Palace disappeared the next day, and the giant serpent at the entrance vanished as well; the whole Northern Wolf City was still shrouded in darkness, with no one daring to easily remove that thing, especially the noble families that had once been targeted by the Spirit Ghosts—everyone prudently stayed inside their homes. However, at least those who had safely returned were all grateful toward Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was staying in the Royal Palace. Northern Wolf City had paid a heavy price to take it, and now the city was still filled with followers from other guilds. To fully control the city, it was vital to ensure the safety of the ten-year-old Little Emperor in the palace.

Otherwise, if a coup succeeded, the city would instantly lose all benefits afforded by the Divine Way Faction.
