Soul-Severing Saber Li Pingjiang, a Grandmaster of the Celestial Net Sect and disciple of the Seven Extremes Elder, was executed. His head was hung from the walls of Five Peaks Mountain City. The news spread like wildfire within the city, then radiated outward at a truly astonishing speed.
"What?! A Grandmaster's disciple is dead?"
"His head is hanging from the walls of Five Peaks Mountain City!?"
"Who did it!?"
"…"
In an instant, the name "Mang Blade" caused a massive stir, spreading far and wide.
…
Regardless of the rumors swirling outside, Chen Ping'an was already seated in a special carriage of the Garrison Commandant's Office, on his way to Beicang Town.
The carriage was escorted by more than a dozen riders, all elites from the Five Peaks Mountain Town Pacification Bureau. They were imposing figures, powerfully built, with sharp gazes and large sabers hanging at their waists.
