"How could this happen... How could this be... What seemed to be a sure success, how could it turn out this way? After planning so meticulously for so long, could it have failed?"
The person who cried out in despair was a sect disciple of the Blood Gu Sect, hidden in the shadows. He had become so distraught that he could no longer conceal his presence effectively.
His shout startled his comrades nearby, who hurriedly tried to silence him, but it was already too late.
Because such a cry, under these circumstances, would be heard by anyone unless they were deaf!
Clearly, neither Yun Jiuqing and her group nor the people from the Imperial City Division were deaf.
This cry snapped them immediately out of their shocked state.
"Over there!" The Second Rank Junior Commandant of the Imperial City Division immediately ordered a group of his subordinates to charge in that direction.
He, on the other hand, stayed with another group to guard the prison carts.
