Things Have Gotten Serious

Lin Jin figured Yang Qingshi would most probably try to flee. It was the only reasonable course of action, especially since something had happened to that demonic appraiser. The longer he stayed around, the higher the chance was for him to be exposed. Had he not intended to escape, he wouldn't have removed the eight-headed viper from Du Lianxi's body.

Since he had done just that, it was clear that he was about to hit the road.

Arriving at this conclusion, Lin Jin immediately issued the order for all gates within the city to be sealed. 

The captain was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected order too.

Sealing the city gates was no joke. A small patrol captain like himself did not have the authority to make such a call. However, General Lu Bin's name would sound like thunder to a soldier's ears.
