The people approaching were not just one or two, but dozens. Each one was dressed in an official uniform, causing the commoners to instinctively clear a path, struck by the fear of authority.
When Chu Xuan saw them, his expression darkened instantly. Based on their uniforms, it was clear they were linked by rank, all serving under the same prefecture. Naturally, the man leading them was the Prefect himself. According to the administrative divisions of Dayuan, the hierarchy went from state to prefecture, and then to county. Chuanhe County fell under the jurisdiction of Baihua Prefecture within Qingyan State. The leader was none other than the Prefect of Baihua Prefecture.
Since the officials of the entire prefecture had arrived, it was proof that they were all complicit in this affair. Yet, sensing their auras, Chu Xuan noted that none of them were Evil Cultivators. This meant they were merely lackeys acting on behalf of one. For an Evil Cultivator to command the entire prefecture’s officialdom to carry out such inhumane acts, their identity was undoubtedly formidable.
