The local forces were surprised about the many outside factions that were swarming in. The former learned that the foreign representatives were there to ask about someone, immediately understanding why the latter had arrived.
They were there for Su Ping!
Many people outside the city had heard when the Longjiang Base City was under attack and the presence of the Otherworld Heavenly King was made public, not to mention the fact that the base city's request for help had facilitated the fast travel of information. The successful defense of the Longjiang Base City was an even bigger surprise. Some outside forces asked around and collected some information.
The center of all the pieces of news was Su Ping.
Some forces, such as the Tang Family and the Star Organization, were aware of Su Ping even before the strike.
