The subsequent thunderous roars swept through Yihai Prefecture—
"Protect the carriage! Protect the carriage! Protect the carriage..."
...
...
Ten breaths earlier, Master Xuanji of Yuanyang Temple had sensed the commotion. He hurriedly donned his Daoist robe and climbed to a high vantage point, observing the flames shooting up from Nu Yun River.
"Assassins? The remnants of the White Sun Sect have appeared!"
Master Xuanji was shocked; aside from those lunatics, who else would dare openly attack the Celestial Envoy's carriage?
"A chance to make a name for myself has come!"
This ambitious Cyan Register Daoist Official's eyelids twitched intensely, his heart filled with excitement.
If he succeeds in protecting the carriage this time, he could immediately gain favor with a noble of the Divine Capital Central Hub.
In the future, even if he doesn't rise to the top instantly, at least it would be a leap over the dragon's gate.
"The heavens have opened their eyes!"
