Chapter 5802
- Days slipped by.
- The provincial capital’s population grew ever larger, as tribesfolk from all corners of the land arrived daily in search of sanctuary. Lu Ming did not turn them away. The capital was vast enough to house tens of billions; whether the city was empty or packed, it had to be defended regardless. He protected those he could, and for those beyond his reach, he could only offer what mercy he possessed.
- Within a fortnight, the number of people in the capital crossed one hundred million. Only then did the stream of arrivals begin to dwindle. Most who could flee had either arrived, were too far away, or had already been cut down by the high-ranking masters serving the Guhua True Hall.
