It was the twelfth hour of the investigation into the theft of the Sun of Dawn.
The sky was already dark, devoid of the crimson hues of dusk. Instead, dense clouds loomed overhead, casting an eerie twilight that blurred the line between day and night, as if the blackness of night had descended prematurely upon the earth.
The rain continued, accompanied by rumbling thunder. The oppressive atmosphere coupled with the figures of the guards in the Imperial City caused the city to be filled with killing intent.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The investigation from the Upper Mystic Five Palaces revealed a vast network of involvement. Apart from the princes themselves, numerous cultivators associated with the princes were found to be involved.
In these twelve hours, more than half of these people were captured.
Some were in cultivation places, some were in sects, and some were at home. Any force had to lower their heads when facing the prestige of the Human Emperor.
