Ji Yang was, in fact, one of Zhou Yuan's people; Yan Guozhen felt that he needed to discuss this matter with Zhou Yuan.

Once you reached a certain level, taking someone down was not difficult; even if there was no issue, one could force a problem upon someone else. The common people just listened to the news; with a little guidance, a good person could be portrayed as a bad one.
Yan Guozhen and his colleagues were actually under pressure too. Since many cultivation incidents had arisen in Ximu City, various parties had been pressuring them, all wanting to establish their own people in Ximu City.
