The situation in Tan City was treacherous.
After seeing the people from the Cyan Yuan Sect make their move, Zhu Siyuan also felt the urge to retreat. He didn't tend to overthink things, but when he sensed danger, his instinct was to avoid it.
"According to the Saintess's command, we must hold out for three more days starting from today. Then, the trouble in Yu State will be completely resolved, and the situation will be irreversible."
Zhu Yiqun said, his brow slightly furrowed.
If they had reinforcements coming, they naturally wouldn't be thinking of retreating. However, the people arranged by Yu State across various locations had only one objective: to stall.
Naturally, the longer they could stall, the better.
Of course, there was a time limit. Indeed, the fifteen-day deadline he had told Shen Yuan was a deliberate exaggeration. It was something he did on purpose.
Shen Yuan being hunted by the people from the Cyan Yuan Sect at this very moment was part of that plan.
