A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Not much had changed in Huanglong Prefecture.
The Divine Mansion Sect remained powerful, showing no signs of decline. The Lingzhou Army was still stationed outside the city, with no intention of entering.
But this was all just temporary.
Murong Tian, of course, couldn't let the matter of the Lifebound Gu leak out.
He also didn't send anyone from the Divine Mansion Sect to the Northern Plains to search, as it would be pointless. On the contrary, it would expose the fact that Dong Wanjun was still alive.
The Lingzhou Army certainly wouldn't make a move before the Grand General of the North had forgotten about Dong Wanjun, but they were not short on underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
In the span of a few days, two Commanders from the Divine Mansion Army's thirty-six battalions had died, both supposedly killed by remnants of the Demon Sect in Huanglong Prefecture.
