He Wenxuan was the head of the Tianji Pavilion and a Rank Two official. He had the backing of Grand Secretary Cui. Even the Evergreen Academy didn't want to fight him head-on. How could their family and friends dare to offend him? If He Wenxuan wanted to take revenge, he didn't even need to show up. Just a word from him could make people wish they were dead.
The truth was similar to what he had guessed. Not long after Wan Guoqiang and the others died, the True Dragon Palace received the news. Soon after, He Wenxuan also received the news. When he heard that the three of them had escaped back to the capital, he spread the word that no one was allowed to help them. Otherwise, they would be his enemies! This scene happened.
Plop!
