The ghost tide from Lanlou Mansion soon began to spread. With their numbers exploding, the ghosts became a massive catastrophe.
The Ziyue Dynasty responded at once, but their forces were not swift enough.
By the time the main army arrived, the tide had already gained overwhelming momentum and annihilated an entire state.
Fortunately, the Ziyue Dynasty was well-versed in dealing with ghost tides. Using a strategy of containment followed by gradual eradication, they successfully trapped the tide within Dust Rock State.
As for the former Lanlou and Shengshi Mansions, they were, of course, completely wiped out.
Not everyone perished, however. With the exception of Lanlou Mansion, the Exorcism Bureaus in the other prefectures had organized retreats, allowing many to survive.
The outbreak in Lanlou Mansion was so sudden that there was no time to evacuate.
