The moonlight enveloped the Celestial Maiden Palace, where the previously quiet palace was now brightly lit, with the Imperial Guard swiftly entering the city and gaining control of all the streets and main roads.
The Close Guard Cultivators, dressed in black and gray clothing, temporarily acted as the Constitutional Army, enforcing a curfew while starting house-to-house investigations and registration of suspicious individuals.
Not to mention the various small ports inside and outside the city, all were completely sealed, even fishing boats were not allowed to leave the port.
Hiding behind windows and door cracks, the residents and wizards of Celestial Maiden City were whispering under the uneasy night sky.
The high-tier wizards, secret faction leaders, and Thousand River Valley merchants who came to attend the council meeting almost wet themselves in fright upon hearing about Horn's assassination attempt.
