An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the area centered around the Wen family in Mingxin Prefecture, spanning ten miles, had been thoroughly cleared by a large number of government soldiers.
Though the local people were full of doubt, they could only leave under the urging of the officers.
Leading these stationed government soldiers were the rarely seen and reclusive Prefecture Guard Commander.
The Prefecture Guard Commander stood tall, clad in heavy armor, his cold gaze scanning the surroundings with an aura of chilling authority.
In front of this Guard Commander stood the prefect of Mingxin Prefecture along with a group of government officials.
Usually enjoying a privileged lifestyle, the government officials now looked solemn.
The prefect's brow was furrowed tightly, forming a "川" shape, revealing a few traces of fear in his eyes.
His lips trembled slightly as if wishing to speak, yet the endless terror choked his throat.
