"By my order, the entire city is to be placed under lockdown!"
At Lü Yang's command, the Imperial City Department immediately responded. Soon, Cultivators of the Incense and Candle Divine Dao were seen riding their Flying Lights, beginning to seal off Celestial Wu City from the inside out.
This was not him acting recklessly.
Rather, it was a direct order from Emperor Jia You, issued through the Immortal Dao Law. On the surface, it seemed the Emperor still held him in high regard, but Lü Yang smelled danger.
'The Imperial City Department was established less than half a year ago. It was originally only responsible for keeping the peace within Celestial Wu City, at most raiding the mansions of a few corrupt officials. Now, we've suddenly been ordered to lock down the entire city. It looks like a grand show of force, but it's actually spreading our limited strength thin, turning it into scattered sand.'
