Chapter 257: Chapter 258: The Light of the Righteous Path

...

By noon, the decree was issued.

The entire motley Runyu City boiled over because of it.

In the morning, when some idlers mentioned the news of a new City Lord for the city, everyone seemed amused, as if it were a joke. Little did they think that Runyu City would actually be affiliated with anyone.

Of course, the excitement was one thing, but hardly anyone took the decree seriously.

The military forces stationed in Runyu City still occupied their territories, entirely unmoved. As for those who relied on Runyu City for a living, they didn't care either, dismissing the so-called new City Lord as a naive neophyte, unaware of the situation in Runyu City, daring to issue such a self-destructive decree.
