The group that had attacked the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and stolen the Heirate Seal of the Realm—the two members whom Jun Chen had already eliminated from the Dai family in Qinghe—possessed martial arts skills indicating that there must be formidable experts among this faction. Not daring to let Longteng's men take such a risk, Jun Chen had sought out Ji Ruxue and instructed him to dispatch top-tier experts from the Demon Sect to keep watch.
After wandering around Qinchuan for a few days and moving on to Xidu, the group had laid low for two days before finally making their move.
Jun Chen had long since guessed what they were after. While they were milling aimlessly around Qinchuan in an attempt to misdirect the authorities' attention, Jun Chen had already made advance arrangements. He had the entire archaeological team stationed on the outer perimeter of the First Emperor of Qin's Mausoleum evacuated during the New Year holiday, replacing them with personnel from Yanhuang Pavilion to avoid any accidental casualties.
