The death of the City Lord shocked everyone, and for a moment, the crowd did not react.
They stared at the empty sky, various conflicting thoughts running through their minds.
They watched as Mao Hai returned calmly to the store, as though he hadn't just killed both the City Lord and the Prime Minister.
"W-Who can tell me what just happened?" a trembling voice broke the silence.
At first, no one responded, then a girl stammered, "T-the City Lord is d-dead…"
Like ripples on a calm lake, the frozen crowd snapped out of their stupor, and the quiet street came alive with whispers and murmurs.
Quickly, the news of the City Lord and Prime Minister's deaths spread like wildfire, taking the Clear Wind City by storm.
When the Liao clan, Gao clan, and Bai clan heard the news, they were stunned, their hearts racing with disbelief and fear.
