Seven days after the emperor ascended the mountain, chaos reigned in Luojing. Various forces were in turmoil, and countless rumors began to spread. For a time, it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and people were in panic.
Some said that the emperor had passed away and the news was kept secret, some said that Prince Zhaolong had plotted a rebellion and trapped the emperor in Yuzhang Mountain, and some said that Chifeng had died and the emperor was afraid of his crime and dared not come down the mountain. There were all kinds of speculations and statements. Three days ago, the once prosperous Luojing Night Market was no longer there. The Red Scaled Halberd Guards began to implement a strict curfew.

Ancient dragon bone horns rang out in the city. With this desolate whimpering sound that represented action, teams of golden-armored Zhulong soldiers finally began to climb the mountain. In front of the Shenlong Palace, the Shuolong guards slowly raised their heads and looked at the ministers and generals at the foot of the mountain.
These guards in black and white armor were silent, and the masks covering their faces made it impossible to see their expressions. At this moment, under the command of a captain, they began to retreat to the side of the Shenlong Palace, forming a solid shield wall and a sea of swords.
