Bab 593: The Last Assembly of the Imperial Court

A finger was running across the arrow on the divine crossbow; as it touched the amulets, the finger would stop for a brief moment.

Gu Pan drew back his finger and looked at the cloud boats in the sky, his eyes showing a complicated expression.

He was the deputy commander of the divine army in Zhaoge City. Though his position sounded similar to that he had held many years ago, he was actually promoted a few times already; in fact, he was holding a very important and powerful official position. However, he had been an external disciple of the Center Sect and was responsible for defending the city against the invasion of the cloud boats of the Center Sect. It was an absurd task for him no matter how one viewed it.

It was only that there were too many officials like him in service of the imperial court and army. The imperial court couldn't depose all of them from their positions because of their connection to the Center Sect.
