The Prefect of Lingzhou was demoted and the General was killed in battle. The new Prefect had become the sole ruler of Lingzhou.
Bai Yuan smelled an opportunity for the Divine Mansion Sect to reemerge into the world.
So, as soon as he heard the news of the Prefect's demotion, he had Lu Yu help pull some strings.
"You're Bai Yuan?"
Jiang Yan curiously sized up the ordinary-looking young man before her.
Thirteenth on the Heavenly Ranking. That rank alone was enough to make the Jiang Family take him seriously.
Not to mention, the young man before her had contributed greatly to the former Prefect of Lingzhou's demotion.
If Bai Yuan hadn't slaughtered the Lingzhou Army until they were powerless to exterminate the Demon Sect's experts, the former Prefect of Lingzhou wouldn't have been impeached by the Imperial Inspection Office. And the Minister of War, Xu Dingchun, would never have had the final say that sealed his fate.
One could say that this young man was the cause of it all.
