Professor Jin hurriedly asked, "Have Li Qingshan and the others arrived in the city yet?"
"Not yet," Old Lu replied anxiously as he continued, "I've been waiting on the riverbank, but only saw those taoists riding back on horses. Two thousand soldiers have all disappeared, and with the red fog growing thicker, many local gentry have become suspicious and are constantly fleeing."
"However, before these taoists returned, I took the opportunity to spread some rumors, claiming that these taoists were colluding with the Evil God and had harmed the soldiers."
Old Lu's decisions were still very reassuring.
True lies, nine truths to one falsehood; the city plunged into chaos a bit early which could actually reduce casualties.
"It shouldn't be considered a rumor, but the truth," Number 24 said with a cold laugh. "Aren't there other minor deities in Fenghua City? Where have they run off to? Why don't they come out and resist?"
