Zhao Wujiang frowned, his fingers rubbing against each other as he pondered. The Hidden Dragon Cult’s move was clearly intended to seize control of the entire underground network in the capital. With a powerhouse like the Faceless Man and the cult’s deep-rooted influence, sweeping through the capital’s underworld was merely a matter of time.
But would the Hidden Dragon Cult really deploy its full force to the capital? Obviously not. Their foundation lay within the pugilistic world; furthermore, should they act too brazenly, they would inevitably draw the scrutiny of the imperial court, which might well dispatch troops to purge their members from the capital entirely.
Therefore, the Hidden Dragon Cult would certainly choose to nibble away at the capital’s underground forces bit by bit until their web was cast over the entire city. Zhao Wujiang’s eyes turned cold and deep; he would not permit this to happen. The cult possessed both the Faceless Man and Prince Xiaoyao, both of whom posed a grave threat to him.
