Chapter 548 - 279: The Enemy Lurking By Your Side
Everything was developing in an extremely smooth direction.
Because of the massacre after Ran Qingchen was possessed, it made other soldiers dare not recklessly advance.
This gave Mr. Zhao and the others ample time to evacuate.
However, those who left were mostly ordinary civilians; those Jianghu members with decent cultivation did not follow. They had the power to roam Jianghu and start anew elsewhere.
For example, the Master of Famous Sword Mountain and the Xu Family, which Jiang Shouzhong had visited before.
Jiang Shouzhong had not seen Yan Changqing’s ex-wife and guessed she must have left Qingzhou long ago.
Others, who didn’t have homes in Qingzhou, were just there for business or travel and ended up suffering the calamity.
They did not wish to go to Dead Man Island but only to return to their families.
Jiang Shouzhong understood them, recognizing that family was most important. Thus, after escorting them out of the city, he let them find their own way back, their survival left to fate.
If they indeed made it alive, he believed the court would most likely not investigate further.
