A sudden shift in the city’s atmosphere. Increased security measures and patrols are in place. Questions and unease spread among the residents.
……
By mid-morning, the atmosphere in Jade Immortal City had changed drastically.
The city gates and main streets, which were previously relatively open, were suddenly filled with a large number of Yu Xianfu guards wearing blue armor and emitting a fierce aura.
They closed all the city gates, leaving only one side gate open for entry, and those who entered were subject to strict questioning and inspection.
The number of patrol teams in the city has doubled, and the original team of three has been expanded to a team of ten. The team leaders were at least at the fourth level of the Upper Immortal Realm, and their sharp eyes scanned every pedestrian on the street.
The teleportation array area was completely sealed off, and anyone who tried to use it to leave was violently stopped.
“What happened? What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know! I heard something happened in the city lord’s mansion last night”
“Shhh! Keep your voice down! Don’t you see how the guards are looking at you? Don’t you want to live anymore?”
“A view like this. I haven’t seen anything like this in hundreds of years, right? Could it be that an important figure is coming? Or”
The monks on the street chatted among themselves, but they all spoke quietly, their faces showing shock and unease.
Jade Immortal City had been peaceful for too long, and this sudden tension and imposition of martial law made everyone feel a sense of foreboding that was to come.
Some knowledgeable or observant parties held back their followers, closed the door, and waited to see what would happen.
……
Inside the Bamboo Forest House, David, Ming Li, Lian Xing, and the others of course immediately noticed the changes in the city.
“They move very fast.”
Ming Li peered through the gaps in the bamboo forest, noticing the increasing number of guards patrolling the distant streets, his brows furrowed slightly. “It seems like the disappearance of the Tu brothers has raised high alert in the Jade God Prefecture. The entire city is under martial law, no one is allowed to enter or leave; they are currently checking us.”
The monkey’s face paled, and he nervously wrung his hands: “S-Senior, what should we do now? The city gates and teleportation array have been sealed, how can we get out?”
Brother Leopard also looked serious: “Jade Immortal Palace’s reaction this time is probably not just because the two executioners died. The old dog Fei Qing must have sensed something.”
Lianxing looked at David, who was resting with his eyes closed and a calm expression, then said in a deep voice, “Senior, our intelligence has just delivered definite news. Investigations within the Jade God Palace clearly point to two unfamiliar faces inquiring about the Fallen Soul Slope at the Zhiwen Pavilion a few days ago.”
“They are currently conducting a secret search throughout the city for anyone fitting their description. Although we are hiding well here, this is most likely not a place for us to stay for long.”
David slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and calm: “As expected. Fei Qing is not a fool. He definitely connected the death of the Tu brothers to Senior Mu Sha’s matter. The enactment of military law and the search was an inevitable reaction.”
He paused, then looked at Lianxing: “You said earlier that you had a way to stir things up, make Fei Qing suspicious, and maybe even lure him away from the mountain. How is it going?”
Lianxing gasped and quickly said, “Our people have already begun to act. Through some intermediaries who are connected to the Jade God Palace’s outer deacons but are not very reliable, they have spread some messages that are difficult to verify.”
