Han Yu spent the following years in a constant state of vigilance.
Every piece of information coming from the Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect was monitored obsessively. The Rat Battalion continued to move through the hidden cracks in the sect's barriers while the Jiangshi that still remained under Han Yu's influence gathered fragments of conversations and passed them along through intricate chains of communication.
Han Yu knew this matter was different from everything before.
The moment immortals became involved, the danger escalated to an entirely different level.
Even Han Yu no longer dared to act recklessly.
He spent long periods simply sitting within the underground chambers beneath one of the Luan Merchant Union's hidden headquarters while reviewing every report that came in. Maps covered the walls around him while formation screens floated in the air showing troop movements, trade routes and hidden clan deployments.
