The moment Chen Zheng and his companions left the Black Dragon Society dojo, Xu Zhongyi, who was already waiting outside, led the officers and soldiers of the Inspectorate forward. They rushed to capture all the martial artists from Da Shang who were still kneeling on the square.
After the arrests were complete, they set fire to the newly constructed Black Dragon Society dojo, which had not yet seen use, burning it to the ground.
The Dahe warriors who had planned to rampage through Da Shang vanished without a trace. Few outsiders were privy to the details, as Xu Zhongyi had issued a gag order on-site.
Even so, news of the Black Dragon Society dojo's destruction and Takeda Masao's death still spread rapidly throughout Da Shang.
The martial artists of Da Shang were shaken to their core. Countless people began seeking information, both openly and in secret.
