The Imperial City of Anyang had collapsed by more than half.
Sima Zhengren had fallen, his blood spilled across the sky.
Heavy droplets, as heavy as mountains, fell from high above like a sky full of bleeding meteorites, smashing countless palace pavilions and killing or injuring innumerable eunuchs and palace maids.
Disciples of Gongyang Sanlü, the Anyang Magistrate governing Anyang City, dispatched a large number of officers and beat copper gongs as they patrolled the streets and alleys, calling out loudly that unknown assassins had attempted to kill the Divine Emperor Sima Fu of the Great Jin.
The plot was discovered by Linghu Qingqing herself, who then charged fiercely and killed all the assassins on the spot.
All the assassins had been wiped out.
Divine Emperor Sima Fu was only slightly wounded and his life was not in danger.
Citizens of Anyang City were asked not to worry—the sky over Great Jin would not fall.
Sima Fu squatted stiffly in the royal chamber, staring at the neatly placed severed head of Sima Zhengren before him.
Sima Zhengren was one of the cornerstones of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, a master of the Divine Realm.
