The news of the Corrupt Path lair raid by the Wei Dynasty - which was yet to be announced to the general public - went through the Martial Alliance like lightning out of the blue.
The local branch of the Martial Alliance immediately dispatched their own investigators to the scene, only to have them stalled as they needed approval to have access from the Imperial Family, which was granted only after 24 hours had passed since the incident.
It was a major embarrassment for the Wei Dynasty that a lair was hidden under their noses, but it was an even bigger scandal for the Martial Alliance, whose authority partially came from organizing the efforts of the Righteous Path in opposing the Evil Path, Corrupt Path and Demonic Path.
