76, Explode again

On the dimly lit street, the Princely Heir and Bai Li were fleeing Red Garments Lane with heads bowed low, first running north, then veering west.

The two no longer maintained their calm and composure; their clothes had several tears, and their hair had become disheveled.

Panting heavily as they ran, they suddenly heard a loud explosion behind them, and immediately after, all of Luocheng City seemed to jolt awake as if alarmed, with every household's guard dogs barking furiously.

Bai Li stopped, turning back with a worried expression, "What's happening? What could have made such a noise?"

The Princely Heir pondered for a moment, "It sounds like someone used firearms... when I accompanied my father to watch the Divine Mechanism Camp practice with the gunpowder cannons, it was this kind of commotion."

"Gunpowder cannons?!" Bai Li was shocked and spun around, ready to head back toward Anxi Street.
