On the thirteenth day of the first month of the Renyin year, the Sigu Sect held a grand assembly to publicly deal with its traitors—an event that would serve as a lifelong warning to every member of the sect.
The Sigu Sect had a total of 3,673 members. While regional branch halls were still conducting internal investigations, the 560 members of the main Sigu Sect headquarters underwent a rigorous screening. Aside from 28 members who were dismissed and dispersed, a total of 57 spies and internal informants were uncovered.
Among these 57 individuals, a full 27 had leaked crucial intelligence that resulted in the tragic deaths of their fellow sect members at the hands of enemies. After Jiang Yunzheng publicly read out their crimes, public outrage boiled over.
