Gusu was still in chaos with soldiers and horses everywhere. Tang Wanju took over the city's efforts against the Maitreya Sect and launched a cleanse of the Maitreya Sect's affiliated forces and those connected with the Lu Family.
The Tang family was in deep mourning as well, with numerous members dead from the round of Sword Qi when the Evil Sword was unearthed. Trampled by one another, there were also casualties, as well as earlier losses and injuries in the retreat against the Lu Family and others. It might be said that the Tang family's ordeal had perhaps passed, but almost every household had lost someone; saying that the Tang family's power had greatly declined was indeed accurate.
Even Tang Wangsheng had suffered a serious injury amidst the chaos and was currently recuperating. Tang Buqi took on the burden and was dealing with the family's internal mess.
