The Zerg lurking in Sword Sect and Sword City were almost completely uprooted. The few stragglers left were merely outer-circle informants passing along messages. Terrified by the iron-fisted methods of Sword Sect, the moment a masked individual contacted them, they reported the news to a squad of Purple-armored Guards on reserve.
Upon receiving the report, the Purple-armored Guards did not bother to verify its authenticity. Catching the suspect and interrogating them would reveal the truth far better than letting the person slip away during verification. Consequently, they instantly surrounded the inn where the masked individual was staying.
Being naturally vigilant, the masked individual sensed something was wrong the moment the situation turned sour. He immediately crushed an omnidirectional teleportation talisman in his hand and fled Sword City at once.
